okay but what if, WHAT IF
whenever Jack talks about his husband everyone just assumes he means his dead spouse, for all they know his spouse is dead, they have no reason to think he remarried
he talks about his husband, how he’s also a doctor, how they were friends for a very long time before they started dating, just mundane stuff here and there
and either way, Jack’s private, doesn’t talk much about his private life anyway so nothing really points at someone else
until one day Jack’s like “I’m out of here gotta get home to the husband” and the new interns share a confused/pitying look
at some point they tell Robby because they aren’t sure how to interact with Abbot when he talks to them about his spouse and they’re a little uncomfortable and Robby has to take a deep breath and explain that when Abbot talks about his spouse he’s not talking about his dead wife, he’s talking about me, we’ve been married for ten years
