On holiday and have been using DH's phone to make international calls for work. Took a sneaky look back at some of his Wats App conversations with male friends. All very innocent and mostly about their interests, sports etc, but I just feel a little gnarled by the way they talk about women.
He has some single friends and in conversation with them after a night out he is always so keen to know if they "hooked up with any babes." (babes is a word DH NEVER uses!) Then one friend in particular is coming back with "yeh I hooked up with 5 babes over the weekend."
FIVE? What are they, 13 years old? They are 40, do they both actually believe this is true?
Then DH reminisces about his "partying days," and says things like "I remember I used to drink 2 litres of vodka and then go home with 2 women for a threesome."
He has never told me this!
Is this just macho bullshit to look good in front of each other, or is it likely to be true that DH has kept stuff from me about his past that he only tells his male friends?
He mentioned our marriage too, which was sort of good I suppose. The friend asked him if he wanted to come to a naked mixed sauna in Germany and DH was saying "OMG I heard the women there are so hot.. sounds so amazing, but you know I am married now, so I can't do things like that anymore!"
This all makes me a bit uncomfortable, but am I just being silly and this is how men talk to each other?
