"Trough" is a thing that horses drink from.

You're being ridiculous. He's not "your man" He's a man that you date. He's a man she knows and she's looking around for physical help with an awkward and heavy job.

I think you're being ridiculous. You have jumped onto th3 bandwagon of 'he aint your man' but they are together! Its her man. No she doesnt own him, im sure op knows this , she was simply using words to explain it's her boyfriend, partner, what ever.

There is no way I want to be called 'my woman'

Show quote history

Oh I know! I haven’t heard it, I don’t think. Just ‘your man’.
Just to add to the confusion, it’s common to describe any woman as a wifey eg ‘go and ask that wifey what time it is…’ That would not be used to describe a wife!

BeKeenRaven · 12/08/2025 08:19

Not wierd. I live on my own and my best mates husband is always helping me with stuff. Putting blinds up, installing units or anything that needs a drill.

I don't hint though I just ask. And he's always happy to help

Let’s look at this from a different perspective………someone is soon going to be moving home and mentioned this to friends, one of which has a ‘man’ who potentially could help. You take exception to what you see is a hint for ‘your man’ to help……….someone friend you are!
A true friend would be recruiting others to make this move easy and seamless ……… do grow up OP!

Careful or you'll be called a dud too

If @Tommelige is from Scotland (certainly the south/west where my husband’s family live) it is usually for a (male) OH to be referred to as ‘your man’ or ‘my man’ - it’s normal not to say, your OH, your partner, your husband etc but to refer to ‘your man’. Took me ages not to find that weird.

Im very sure i will prob get lots of different opinions on this.
to begin with we been togheter for 3 years my partner knows her trough me and he only have meet her trough some parties we have been hosting. So they don’t have each other on socials either. Last party my friend was hinting that she will move out from her parents house soon and looking for someone to help her move out, felt like she was kinda hinting that to my partner since she was looking at him. But its not like people in her family don’t drive at all. I felt a bit weird why she wants my partner to help in this. Another friend told me that some girls are like that when u get a man, they also expect your man to help them and do things for them because ur their best friend.

I’m moving soon. The move will be carried out by my son-in-law of six years, and my daughter’s ex fiancé of five. We’re all grown ups.

Barney16 · 12/08/2025 07:43

My MIL who was Irish used to refer to my partner as your man. Weird 1950 vibe but she always said it. But I'm very very taken by nan with a van. Would they bring cake too?

sandgrown · 12/08/2025 07:41

My best friend was looking for a house to buy . I encouraged my builder husband to go with her on viewings to spot any faults . To cut a long story short they had an affair and he ended up leaving and buying a house with her !

Muffinmam · 12/08/2025 02:46

I don’t understand how people think you are being unreasonable.

No, your friend is not entitled to your sexual partner moving her out of her parent’s house.

Chill dud

GAJLY · 12/08/2025 07:36

She's your best friend, do you want to help? Does your boyfriend want to help? Think I'd want to help a friend move. Is it just a few things she can put into a hired van or does she need a removals truck? Is her family helping too? Are you free the daye she moves? I'd want to know all the answers before making a decision. I'd try to help.my friend in some way. Even if I couldn't lift or drive the van, I'd help clean and grab pizzas. Remember your boyfriend might not last, but your friendship should.

Freshstartyear25 · 12/08/2025 07:32

DH and I would have offered to help ‘my’ friend move houses if we knew she needed help. That’s what friends do. My friends will even ask us directly and won’t need to hint.

She clearly wants to spread her peanut butter all over YOUR chocolate.

You need to shut this down fam. Pronto

Is anyone else picturing the OP in their head?

Yeah, same as the other OP’s I’m picturing from some of these recent posts.
Kind of like a call centre but for people writing bizarre MN posts.

OoooopsUpsideYourHead · 11/08/2025 22:27

All this because you 'felt she was kinda hinting'??

It's not like she's asked him so just forget it.

I agree with this

MooreMooreMoore · 12/08/2025 07:11

Is that you Tweety Pie?

itsgettingweird · 12/08/2025 07:08

Of my friend said she was moving out and wanted help she wouldn’t need to hint - I’d offer.

you sound very insecure and possessive of your partner. I’d explore the reasons around that tbh.

Pricelessadvice · 12/08/2025 07:04

Your ‘man’?
How old are you OP??

BananaCaramel · 12/08/2025 07:02

How old are you? Beyond late 20s people really just need to pay for movers

Hillrunning · 12/08/2025 06:56

While I do think you are over reacting, I also think it would be odd for a man to be sent to help simply because he is a man. The OP is the friend, if help is needed it should be the OP who offers and gives the help.

Id feel awful if I were sent to help someone I hardly knew just because of my sex.

OP, just be a good friend to her and ask her when moving days is and that you picked up that hse may need help so you'd like to help.

Bowies · 12/08/2025 06:56

It’s probably just because I’m getting old, but I don’t fancy the idea of anyone’s penis rummaging through my cutlery drawer!

May be in the market for a Nun with a Gun… otherwise Nan and her Van will be driving in to deal with the problem.
