Woman finds suspicious text from her husband’s “work wife”, but his explanation raises even more questions
Nothing says "just coworkers" quite like a "work wife" thanking your husband for getting her world rocked.
Finding a message from your husband’s female colleague saying he helped get her “world rocked” is probably not how anyone wants to start the morning. Unfortunately, one woman says that’s exactly what she woke up to, and her husband’s explanation didn’t exactly make the situation less suspicious.
TikTok content creator Crystal, who posts as @crystallovesspicy, said she discovered the message after her husband’s work phone began buzzing beside her while he was already at the office, according to The Daily Dot. The message reportedly came from a colleague named Jasmine and read, “I had my world rocked last night thanks to you.”
Crystal immediately sent her husband a photo and demanded an explanation. Her husband explained that Jasmine was separated from her partner and had asked him for advice on rekindling intimacy in the relationship. Apparently, his advice worked. Crystal, however, had another question: Why was her husband giving bedroom advice to a female colleague he’d only known for a few months? The comment section had an even shorter question: why was her husband giving bedroom advice to a female colleague at all?
She was already the ‘work wife’
Unfortunately, the questionable text wasn’t Crystal’s full introduction to Jasmine. She said her husband had previously discouraged her from visiting his newly relocated workplace because the office was supposedly “very male-oriented” and he worried his colleagues would hit on her. How convenient.
Crystal had previously brought her husband coffee and lunch at his old office, so she decided to surprise him with a birthday gift at the new location anyway. That’s when she says she encountered Jasmine sitting at the front desk, which already poked a hole in the all-male-office picture. Then came the introduction: Jasmine allegedly called herself Crystal’s husband’s “work wife.”
Jasmine reportedly added that she’d heard plenty about Crystal. The content creator also claimed the “work wife” sometimes texted her husband while he was home with his actual wife and children. Although those earlier conversations involved less alarming subjects, including food and sandwiches. What does seem alarming, however, is what was potentially going on behind those “sandwiches.”
While it might seem quite scathing, a “work wife” nickname alone doesn’t establish an affair, and neither does a colleague sending an inappropriate-sounding text without additional context. Nevertheless, it doesn’t make the situation any less inappropriate. Combined with Crystal’s account of being discouraged from visiting the office and the intimate advice her husband says he gave Jasmine, it’s understandable why one buzzing work phone set off louder alarm bells.
Suspected cheating has inspired far more elaborate investigations and explosive relationship drama online. One woman was even recruited to catch a cheater in an unusual attempt to expose someone’s infidelity. Another woman allegedly wrecked her cheating boyfriend’s vehicle after discovering his reported infidelity. Meanwhile, Crystal appears to be looking for answers rather than launching a sting operation or seeking automotive revenge.
The internet side-eyes the husband and the work wife
Commenters weren’t particularly convinced by the explanation. Some accused Crystal’s husband of cheating, while others argued that regardless of what happened between the colleagues, setting appropriate boundaries with Jasmine was ultimately his responsibility.
While her TikTok comment section flooded with advice and support, one particular comment earned plenty of digital applause: “Anytime ur husband is talking sex to a woman he is cheating period!!”
The husband’s explanation presents an unusual choice of workplace conversation. If your defense against a suspicious “world rocked” message requires explaining why you’re giving a colleague advice about her intimate life, you may have solved someone else’s marital problem by creating one for your own marriage.
