This 26-year-old woman is currently in a relationship, but her boyfriend, who’s 28, has a “work wife” at his office.

While plenty of women might have a problem with this, she actually didn’t believe it was a red flag when she first learned about her boyfriend’s female colleague.

“I thought it was no big deal, even kind of cute that he had a friend at work he could vent to and joke around with,” she recalled.

But more recently, things have changed, particularly because she’s noticed how often her boyfriend talks about his work wife.

He’ll bring up things his coworker said in conversation or funny jokes they shared together. Plus, he even mentioned how much his work wife “totally got him.”

“And to make matters worse, he’s been working late and going to more ‘after-work drinks’ than usual,” she added.

All of this made her a bit suspicious, and she spoke to her boyfriend a few times about his relationship with his work wife. Yet, he always just laughed her off and accused her of being paranoid.

This led her to go one step further and hire a private investigator to follow her boyfriend. She simply wanted to know whether there was more to the story.

“I honestly didn’t think I’d find anything. I just wanted peace of mind,” she noted.

Unfortunately, she ended up catching her boyfriend in a lie. She discovered that he went out to dinner with his work wife last Friday at a nice restaurant; meanwhile, he’d told her that he needed to “wrap up a project” at work.

She obviously confronted him with the evidence, too. However, her boyfriend was furious at her, saying she seriously invaded his privacy and crossed a line.

“He insists it was an innocent dinner and that he didn’t tell me because he knew I’d ‘freak out,'” she explained.

Now, he’s been barely speaking to her, and some of their friends agree that she went too far.

So, even though she had a “gut feeling,” she’s wondering if hiring a private investigator to tail her boyfriend really was overboard.

Does her boyfriend’s relationship with his work wife seem purely platonic, or could there be something going on? Would you have also gotten a private investigator if you were in her shoes?
