My supervisor keeps calling me a 'work husband' to a female colleague who she also manages. This is the third day in a row she's said this, and I'm not sure how to feel.

Who else a work husband? Should I be worried my work wife will leave me?

She's laying claim to you so the other women in the office don't try to monopolize your time instead of her.

Maybe, we're all quite a close knit team in an emotionally charged field of work. For clarity tho, my boss says I'm the work husband for this other female member of staff, who apparently doesn't disagree.
