Some physicists have suggested combining the EM and weak forces because of the interplay between them.

You're talking about electroweak unification. They're unified because the force carriers of the weak interactions are charged bosons, which implies they also interact electromagnetically. Therefore you can't physically describe the weak force without including electromagnetism. However these two forces are still fundamentally different.
