Having said that, it could be put in the Employment/Career resources section.
Yeah I think there is a very deep connection between work and relationships. For instance, mom actually tells me she feels like her work is more of her family than her own family because of the sheer volume of hours she spends there. She forgot how old I was when I last asked her, but remembers how old her coworkers are

Sometimes though, I feel like work-talk really is a defense mechanism for deeper psychological issues. For me personally, I always attribute my stressors to work (which may actually be the case), but sometimes there are other things going on too and it would be unfair to blame it all on work.
