To think this is unnecessarily bitchy?

Will try to keep brief!
Last Friday I went out with some work colleagues for drinks. Whilst out my colleague/friend bumped into her husband who was with his friends. I hit it off with one of the men he was with and we've been texting with an aim to meet up soon.
My colleague knew this and seemed very keen for us to meet. However yesterday colleague told me she'd seen this man I'm due to go out with as he's a mutual friend. She said quite casually ' I told mutual friend you've got 3 kids by 3 dad's and you've had a boob job'. I told her she's being bitchy and not to put ideas in this man's head. Why would you tell someone that?

how does your colleague even know you have 3 kids by 3 different fathers? Let alone a boob job? how does that even come up in chat with a colleague in a work environment?

It sounds to me like she let her mouth run, realised her mistake and thought she'd warn you. 'Damage limitation'.

It's a bit weird and a bit creepy. To mention three kids? Relevant. To mention their paternity? Irrelevant. To mention plastic surgery? WTF Shock

Oh as if people are trying to be as dense as ‘shes just telling him the truth’ or ‘he probably asked about you’
It’s clearly obvious what she was doing. Bitch.

Fuck me, nitro Hmm

I'm not sure many women would want to date a man with 3 kids by 3 women so why is it different when the sexes are reversed?

BearsandHearts · 22/02/2018 19:25

Royal she knows as I've worked with her for some time and when pregnant with my last child.

What do you mean by not putting ideas in his head?

RoyalBelum · 22/02/2018 19:26

It's still an awful lot of information for a work colleague!

Advice that’s a bit harsh.

OP, maybe he asked her about you and she just told him what she knew, and yes if he was my friend I would probably tell him too Sad but I can see why you are upset.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/02/2018 19:32

Some friend she turned out to be.
@Bearsand Hearts, go on the date and have a nice time. Fancy telling him you've had a boob job, what a plonker she is, and very obviously jealous of you, to mention it, I'm pretty sure he'll think so too.
Your precious children are your business, how dare she ... 😡

Peekaboo3 · 22/02/2018 19:32

@AdvicePlease360

REPORTED. Obviously.

But you don't mean it do you, you're just goading.

Never mind. Your comments will be gone soon.

Ladymadness · 22/02/2018 19:33

Fucking hell nitro put your claws away!

Bearberry · 22/02/2018 19:33

Yes it is definitely bitchy, and unnecessary. It’s private information, which is for you to tell when you deem fit. It’s not like you’ve entered into a relationship and been actively deceived him, you haven’t even been on one bloody date yet! She has an agenda, and not a pleasant one.

As to people suggesting that the OP having 3 children to different fathers or a boob job somehow reflecting her moral standing... well the world must be a very simplistic place in your eyes! Ridiculous. Not to mention depressing as hell seeing women referring to others as ‘sluts’.

Bluedoglead · 22/02/2018 19:34

It’s not that private to be fair - the op has told work colleagues. I can see why the kids thing would come up on co versariokn bur not the boob job.

Adviceplease360 · 22/02/2018 19:35

Peekaboo read the thread, you need to report nitro if you're so offended

Thisimmortalcurl · 22/02/2018 19:37

Ignore the bitchy comments OP.
Life happens.
Don’t waste time on negativity.

BearsandHearts · 22/02/2018 19:38

Ladymadness · 22/02/2018 19:39

Op i have 3 dc by 3 men and im not a slut eather everyone is different and we all have history iv reported nitro aswell just nasty and uncalled for.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/02/2018 19:40

You're both as vile as each other. You should be ashamed of yourselves, talking to another woman, like she's something under your shoe.

Bluedoglead · 22/02/2018 19:40

Oh I get that about the kids. I don’t abojt the boob job.

jkl0311 · 22/02/2018 19:41

@Nitrobetty1 that comment was uncalled for. Too much sorry too much. You never know where your life will take you. Women show solidarity and support on here. You do not dress them down with very little info.
