Hi All,
Still not used to this big company stuff, today we have the grand opening of the office I work in.
Had to wear a tie to cover the peanut butter stain on my shirt! The local news are recording a 'bit' the other side of the office! The temptation to do something silly is overwhelming! be  , donot answer questions from someone in a Visitor's badge with 'and so it was told in the prophecy' at the end.

Bits[^] are boring in interviews. How could you let one escape?

Where I used to work in Singapore the bank had a glass walled newsroom where the local TV channel did financial news every day, they had a security guard posted near the glass rear wall just for people like you.
The thought of a couple of idjits chasing each other on wheelie chairs in the background had obviously occurred to someone.

Some spouses, when meeting with The One, end up rubbish (5, 6).

Wild guess - waste basket ?

I think the first word is space ?

Space Filler ?

Nope.
I'm quiet enjoying this and having a hard time not shouting out the solution. 
|
|
|

Some spouses = Sp
with one = ace
So I'm pretty sure it's Space ?????? Litter, Debris ?

Nope, but you're getting close.
|
|
|
|

Space Debris is correct.
Did you make an edit? 'Cause it wasn't there when I read it the first time...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I did but it was a guess- care to explain?

You already got space.
end up = ends with and rubbish is synonymous with debris.
|
|
|
|
|
I still don’t get it 👀

Aren't synonyms usually part of the clues? Perhaps I made a mistake (still new at this).
Care to share how you would've added the clue for debris?
Perhaps I should've made it like this:

The some spouses part was in keeping with a cryptic clue definition, as was ace for one, but the end part implies aim or arrive (end) reversed, and no part suggests debris ( as in e.g an anagram of sir bed ) - it was only becaue we were theming that I took a wild guess at it, this is in no way detracting from your efforts
Kind regards

I see... I didn't know end was used for these purposes, it was suppose to be a clue that the following word is the last word of the solution. Anyways thanks for taking the time to explain it!

No worries  , just a little disappointed for my first puzzle.

They are much more difficult to set than solve

That's really not necessary: The Welsh, Scottish, and Irish mostly aren't bothered!
In Wales for example we tend to support the Welsh team (and whoever is playing against England).
