Should I take it seriously or there was no deep meaning behind this statement what would I do without you ( married man said it at work ) randomly?

We happened to work together and he mentioned that phrase I didn’t take it personally but you think he might just have said it just bc

Hmm that's a tricky one girl. On the one hand, guys sometimes say stuff like that without thinking too much about it, you know? Like he could've just meant it casually in the moment.

But married men also shouldn't be throwing out lines to other girls at work, even if he didn't mean anything by it. That's playing with fire territory.

I'd just be careful moving forward. Don't read too much into it, but also create some distance so nothing can be misinterpreted.
At work just keep things professional.

If he says other things that seem flirty or crosses boundaries, you may need to set a firmer boundary. Like "I think we should keep our relationship strictly work-related" to make your stance clear.

But for now I wouldn't assume he meant anything deep by that one comment necessarily. Read his overall actions more than one-off remarks. See how he acts around other girls too. Hopefully it was just a slip and that's it! Just watch your back sis.

Always ask yourself why your caring. Since the reason you care why is important to the answer.

So, the phrase "what would I do without you" is generally very universal. It's usually sued to indicate a person has done a great job and they are endebted to their help.

So I would say its unlikely he meant it in any emotionally deep way, to the point where I'd say 99% certain it was just a passing comment to reflect gratitude for your professional support.
