Boyfriend taking pictures of me when I’m on client calls

He would go mad if I did the same thing to him. He also makes funny faces to try and distract me.

he apologised when I confronted him but is now asking why I’m still pissed off and acting as if I’m overreacting. So annoyed.

He's attention-seeking because he thinks he is more important than your job.

Look I know people will say this is an over reaction. But he is testing your boundaries. You should actually dump him- who wants to live with someone who is a complete bell end.

My 15 year old son behaves more maturely than that!

Hoppinggreen · 26/07/2024 15:52

Both my kids know not to do that.
At best hes immature, at worst he is trying to undermine your job

He doesn't respect your work. Even if it's subconscious he's not letting you do your job and he doesn't really care that he's upset you. If he had respect he'd have stopped straight away when he realised you were not finding it funny.

“I am still pissed off with you because you were behaving like a toddler, whilst I was trying to work. I want a boyfriend, not an infant.”

BillStickersWillBeProsocuted · 26/07/2024 15:58

Was this a 1 off thing or something he's kept doing?

If he was trying to be funny,. misjudged it, appologised and never did it again that would be the end of it for me.

If he conintunes to do it after you've asked him not to that's a differnet story

Assuming you're WFH and the two of you live together - make it clear where your office space is (and your schedule for needing to use it, if it has to be a partially shared space) and agree that no one else is in your space during your workday. Then do the same for him if he also WFH. This is pretty standard and practical even if he didn't have a history of acting like an arse; since he does, it's probably critical.

Is he 5?

YorkieTheRabbit · 26/07/2024 16:00

You wouldn’t expect him to come into your place of work and behave like that
You working from home doesn’t give him the right to act like a twat

MouseofCommons · 26/07/2024 16:00

Not OK. I suspect he's a pain in other ways too.

blueshoes · 26/07/2024 16:06

Is he this annoying in other aspects of the relationship?

This would give me the serious ick.

TheHuntSyndicate · 26/07/2024 16:09

It's not a joke.

It's not funny.

It puts your job at risk.

He's an immature and jealous little twat.

Why saddle yourself with someone so disrespectful and immature?

Put a call out to surrounding villages to find out which one is missing their idiot.

Dump him.
