Partner sent old work colleague a candy crush request

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.

If you are trying to get in someone's knickers, sending them a Candy Crush request is a sure fire way of ensuring that you never succeed

Yeah course he did.

You post here about soneghing batshit crazy then he admits you were right all along.

Why are all the responders on AIBU so effing sheep-like? Can you not see beyond the reference to Candy Crush? If you don't know what it is, it's not unreasonable to assume it might be flirtatious.

OP, if he's given you cause to think he fancies her, he probably does, so it's up to you to decide what you want to go about that, if anything.

@Littlechip because

  1. Even if by some miracle op has never heard of it,it's not that hard to google,or hell even follow the link,or search of fb for it.
2.the updates came in rather unbelievable for the timeline.

I receive Candy Crush requests most days.

It's cheering me up no end to think how deeply fuckable I must be to ppl on my FB friends list. Smile

ddssdd · 11/05/2017 19:27

I thought with candy crush, you had to add multiple people, periodically? I was regularly sent them by people and it was very annoying!

LittleChip

It sounds like OP is on Facebook a lot, Candy crush is ridiculously well known it made so much money, I don't think anyone I know who's on Facebook hasn't played or heard of candy crush, it's not even facebook exclusive, it makes that much money that there's TV adverts for it
