Partner sent old work colleague a candy crush request

84 replies

I've got a feeling my partner is attracted to his old work colleague.

We've been together a year and he has known her two years. They've not spoken for two years.

He has lots of female colleagues on Facebook as he works in a female dominated environment but he's never asked them on dates or cheated. I genuinely believe that.

Anyway there's a work colleague he seems to want the attention of. Periodically every four months or so he will message her pretending to need some information. Today he's just sent her a candy crush invite. I don't even know what that is. Just saw it on his Facebook (we use each other's Facebook regularly).

He obviously knows I will see it so maybe there's nothing in it.

I don't know really. Part of me thinks I'm being absurd. He's not asked her to meet up or spend time with friends. But he's not seen her in two years. It's odd she's even entered his head. AIBU? And does that make sense?

I've never seen her as a threat as for whatever reason he's never going to pursue her and meet her in person again. But for some reason, every four months or so, he does something to get her attention.

What is a candy crush invite and would he have sent them to a few people? I don't even know how it works.

Dear God almighty . The angst over a game request !

The amount of candy crush invites I got before deactivating my Facebook was unreal. I never knew they all fancied me or wanted my attention.

hahahaha oh boy this is the funniest OP all day. good one! gotta be a joke

Yukbuck · 11/05/2017 13:28

How has he only known her 2 years but they've not spoken for 2 years? Also he sends her messages every 4 months but they haven't spoken to each other for 2 years?! Make up your mind op!

A candy crush invite? Fuck me. She'll be round jumping on his cock in no time!

SurlyValentine · 11/05/2017 13:40

He has known her two years. They've not spoken for two years.

So he started working at the same place as her, just before she left to work somewhere else? So they basically became Facebook friends as soon as they fleetingly became colleagues? Weird in itself, but whatever. And for a year of this non-friendship, you weren't even on the scene? Grips are this way OP ======>>>

Sharimara · 11/05/2017 14:49

He's just admitted having a crush on her!

I KNEW he did. He's been searching her constantly on Facebook for two years.

I don't even know what to think or say now really.

He will literally do anything for her attention but she's way way out of his league so I suppose that's why he's not asked her out.

is this a real thread or a wind up? your paranoid because he sent a candy crush invite? and he messages her every 4 months? Jesus christ. OP - in the nicest way possible, you sound very controlling and you don't trust him. If there some sort of backstory? if not - YABVU.

shinyredbus · 11/05/2017 14:54

So he has a crush on her - so what? He's with you, isn't he? Maybe she's not way out of his league (bit mean to say that about your partner btw!) maybe he just is in love with you? Maybe its you he wants?

Andylion · 11/05/2017 15:54

He's just admitted having a crush on her!

I knew it.

StillHungryy · 11/05/2017 16:25

Gotta say if this is real, saying she's out of his league isn't exactly a nice thing to say about your partner, pretty awful infact

StillHungryy · 11/05/2017 16:26

Although isn't that also an insult to yourself if he asked you our? By your logic he must think you look like Shrek Envy

Really? And you're in his league?

A bit off topic but why do you need to use someone else Facebook at all, never mind regularly?

Candy Crush is a time sucking, sweetie crushing, game I play the damn game and am near level 1000 and still no signs of it ever coming to an end
I occasionally send out Candy Crush requests. It goes out to all your friends, it's not a romantic thing! If everyone thought like that half my friends list would think I loved them, lol Grin
Oh, and why do you use each other's FB? That's so weird. Don't you trust each other? I have my own FB, husband has his. I don't know his password, he doesn't know mine, and we have no desire to check each others.

I'm into the really kinky stuff, Cookie Jam. Utter filth it is.

DirtyChaiLatte · 11/05/2017 16:53

Didn't you say that He's mentioned in passing that this colleague fancies him and he has no interest and wants to make that clear to her' and now you're saying that he actually has a crush on her??

AtHomeDadGlos · 11/05/2017 16:55

Oh shit. Time for a divorce - Candy Crush is synonymous with having a crush on someone.

TheRightHonourableLady · 11/05/2017 17:01

Please tell me this is a wind up 😂
