To think I shouldn’t be ignored

There is a very pretty girl in our office that dp and I work with.
Previously, he came in flustered about a project he was working on and I attempted to give him advice. She was sitting in close proximity and decided to give her opinion aswell despure not actually being included in the conversation.
It got to the point where every time she offered advice he just got me off and looked at her. He did this about four times and in the end I just got up and walked away as I thought it was beyond rude.

He later apologised and said he was that flustered he didn’t realise he had done in.

Today in work he walked past her and i talking in the corridor. As opposed to making conversation with me, he began talking to her and just seemed so fixated on her. I might as well have not been in the building!

So we have fallen out

Anyone any advice on how to deal with this?

I’m used to all the guys swarming around her which is annoying enough but not my dp aswell

So pissed off

Grow up and stop being so jealous

I don’t get how partners aren’t jealous

It’s their husbands and boyfriends who are always fussing round her

Then they come home to you and I assume you have no idea the way they get on in work

What do you suggest she does, wear a bag on her head?

He's smitten. It's disrespectful towards you to not try to hide it.

It's also annoying when Men are more inclined to take notice of a Woman, in the workplace, because she's attractive and not because of competantcy.

Yeah tbh I think your jealousy is getting the better of you. So he's spoken to a colleague a couple of times and because you think her attractive that makes it an issue? He's probably more attentive to a colleague in the office because he's attentive to you at home. DP and I have crossed paths professionally and I could totally see either one of us being like that.

Is there more of a backstory you haven't given? Nothing you've said so far explains why this is such an issue for you.

I don't think the first response is particularly kind or helpful btw.

OP- it's tough but it ultimately boils down to the level of trust in your relationship. If the trust and loyalty is there then it shouldn't matter if she looks like Angelina Jolie- you ought to still feel comfortable and confident your DP loves you and would not betray your trust. If you are unsure then it's worth discussing your feelings with him.

Bird has it. I don't think she's helping, by sticking her beak in giving her opinion when not asked, but otherwise she can't help how she looks.
