To be p*ssed off DP has a pointless 30m call with a female work colleague every day?

Just this. He has a 30 minute call with the same female work colleague (who he has stated "reminds him" of his ex-wife) every single work day. He's said it started as a project check in and now they just chat.

I don't really know how to bring this up with him but something about it just aggrevates me. It feels off. AIBU??

My DH and his female colleague are always ranting, feeding back and there is really nothing to it. I don’t mind it at all.

Is it taking away from other things he should be doing at home? Is that why it’s bothering you?

Sorry - is this during the work day or home time? If it’s during the work day then you are definitely BU.

I bet he doesn’t even chat to you for 30 whole minutes a day.

I don't think you can tell DH what to do whilst he's at work.

You can, however, work on your own issues.

Well are there other people he or she can chat to from a work perspective? We have social calls built into our team diary to reduce isolation.

YANBU - he’s wasting 2.5 hours a week yakking away to her when he’s supposed to be working. No man devotes this much time to a random woman unless he fancies her, sorry
