I am a journalist working on a story about the phenomenon of "workplace spouses". That is a term applied to intense relationships--not of a sexual nature--that can form between men and women who work long hours together, often as partners, even on long business trips. I have been told that these can sometimes cause problems in marriages, or exclusive partnerships in private lives. I would be interested in hearing from people who have experienced such relationships and in hearing how they played out at work and in personal lives.
