The on-screen chemistry shared by actors Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper is so true to life, it’s hard to believe it isn’t real. The two can be seen everywhere from Silver Linings Playbook to American Hustle to their upcoming project, Serena. Both admit to being each other’s work spouses, but insist there is no sex in their faux celebrity marriage. Having a close relationship with someone at work can happen to anyone, not just celebs. You don’t actually have to be “playing” husband and wife on screen to feel like you are just that, to an extent. It can happen in any job setting.
The love advice question is, how entangled can you become with a work spouse, and where do you draw the line so the relationship doesn’t negatively affect other parts of your life?
