Daryl is planning his wedding… but his fiancée is “losing the plot” over one thing: his super-close friendship with a female colleague that everyone calls his “work wife”. They text most days, swap memes, and she even rang him late at night in bits after a row with her boyfriend — a call he answered while in bed with his fiancée. Is his fiancée a jealous “bunny boiler”… or is Daryl crossing lines and emotionally cheating without realising it? Can men and women be 'platonic friends' or is it always doomed to failure?
