Workplaces can breed this kind of peculiar fixation. Routine proximity paired with boredom transforms some people into amateur archivists of other people’s relationships. They dress it up as friendly chit chat but the real goal is to gather and catalogue personal details, then reinsert them into conversation to reclaim a sliver of association. The fixation becomes a form of social currency, as if repeating someone’s partner’s name often enough will confer ownership by absorption.

In this office, the fixation has taken root to the point of absurdity. The boyfriend has never worked there, never set foot in the building, and yet his name comes up in meetings, casual chats, and even shopping choices copied from his partner. It is not a passing crush. It is an ongoing side project disguised as workplace banter, and the only thing keeping it in check is the brick wall of polite non-cooperation.
