Don't come on here very often but can't talk to anyone i know about this until i know if i'm being unreasonable.

Was just on twitter and looked up my husband, he'd made an account a while ago but doesn't use it. Anyway another name came up, similar to my husbands and with one of his pictures so i clicked on it. (Its a picture of him but can't see his face) Anyway he's following 50+ girls on there, either topless, bottomless, porn like, u get the picture.
He has been retweeting (don't know what that means) and i don't know how i should feel. I rand and had a go at him but he said he was messing about with mates and didn't want to use his real name and he hasn't used it since Jan.
I already feel like he's woman/porn mad, he notices eveyone, puts me down in ways and.... i don't know i'm confused at the mo and rambling.
How would you react?

YANBU, he has used another name as he didn't want to be found out! I would be furious Angry

monstersX2 · 30/03/2012 11:47

Thing is he was following his real self so thats how i found the fake him by recognising the picture, maybe he didn't think i'd go on there but just doesn't make sense!

there are two issues.

The first is that you say he puts you down etc. You need to stand up to that and let him know in no uncertain terms that it's not on.

Wrt twitter, there are a lot of idiots on twitter, and I would bet money that all the porn stuff he's retweeting is all from spammers who will tweet you a link to their site... It's all a bit tasteless really and I would tell him he needs to grow up.

DinahMoHum · 30/03/2012 11:56

id be pretty pissed off

Tee2072 · 30/03/2012 12:20

I would think he's an idiot because 99% of what he's retweeting is posted by SPAM Bots and not real people.

cazza40 · 30/03/2012 12:23

Yanbu that is unacceptable behaviour - you should not put up with this

puds11 · 30/03/2012 12:30

i'd be vv annoyed! especially with the history you mention. If it was a joke, he would have
a) removed it
b) told you about it
i would be suspicious of this

monstersX2 · 30/03/2012 12:48

Thanks for confirming what i thought, hes a prat basically. Don't know what to do yet but at least i know how i'm feeling is not unreasonable.

Sounds like a daft thing to do but not the end of the world, but maybe that's just me judging by other reactions

Kaluki · 30/03/2012 12:52

He made a fake twitter account then followed himself?
What an idiot!!!
YA definitely NBU

MerryMarigold · 30/03/2012 13:25

YABU. I'd be very upset, and especially if he brushed it off as nothing rather than being sorry about it.

Pandemoniaa · 30/03/2012 13:26

So not only is he being dishonest, he's too daft to do it properly?

imnotmymum · 30/03/2012 13:28

He should have more respect for you in front of his mates [if it was with his mates] than to be ogling other girls. That is outrageous

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 30/03/2012 13:28

YANBU - he knows he is being out of order as he has done it in a different name. I would be cross too!

Becks4Saints · 30/03/2012 13:42

I use Twitter on a regular basis, when you retweet you just basically share the "tweet" you have received onto others! A lot of people using Twitter were hacked a while ago, including my partner who received an email, when we went on it he had him following people that he hadn't requested to do so etc. I have also been followed by women who appear topless, bottomless, porn like to which I am like WTF but are normally just spam idiots!!!

AutumnSummers · 30/03/2012 15:02

YANBU. His behaviour seems less than above board.
