Went on boyfriends phone earlier as my phone was dead and needed to phone a taxi.
Message popped up from a woman I didn't know read a few messages previous.
He sent her one last night 8pm saying ...
"Wow if I knew you were wearing that outfit tonight I would have came out to find you"
Now aibu here or is that shit for him to say?
Why would he even say it?
I'm biting my tongue off here.

I think he wants to be her boyfriend, too. Bin him.

IHaveNoIdeaReally · 11/05/2019 16:08

Yeah, that's really bad.

FoxSquadKitten · 11/05/2019 16:09

Oh dear not good.
Who is the woman? If it's someone he works with/knows quite well maybe he's just having a bit of a laugh/banter

Poundlandkate · 11/05/2019 16:10

I would be angry too.

ilovemycatmorethanyou · 11/05/2019 16:10

That is really not good! I’d get rid of him pronto!

LuluBellaBlue · 11/05/2019 16:10

I wouldn’t accept that, I’d finish it over a comment like that, he’s shown his true colours

Miniloso · 11/05/2019 16:11

Nope, that would be the end for me!!!

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 11/05/2019 16:11

Ditch. For sure. What else do you need to know?

PamelaX · 11/05/2019 16:12

If I was 19 and having fun in general, I would just ignore because he wouldn't be the only one I'd be dating anyway. oh the good old days

If I was older and looking for semi-serious relationship, that would be the end of it for me.

sherbitdipp · 11/05/2019 16:14

Don't have a clue who she is.
No regard for me whatsoever

nicenewdusters · 11/05/2019 16:24

Are you going to ask him who she is?

category12 · 11/05/2019 16:32

She's someone he's flirting with. So now what?

ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule · 11/05/2019 16:35

I'd get rid.

sherbitdipp · 11/05/2019 16:35

I know what he will say ...it's harmless etc
Do you think it's harmless?
Am I over reacting over a message
I don't know.

He's not in a committed relationship with you if he's sending messages like that.

NameChangedNoImagination · 11/05/2019 16:37

You are not overreacting. If anything underreacting. I would go completely mental and it would be the end unless he made some MAJOR amends.

Burlea · 11/05/2019 16:40

He will turn the tables and start blaming you for snooping in his phone even though you had a valid reason for using it. I would be furious.

quietmoon · 11/05/2019 16:41

If anything you're under reacting. That would finish it for me, no questions asked.

AllHopeAndNoResults · 11/05/2019 16:43

You are not over reacting, that’s showing no respect for you or your relationship. I always say to my friends if it has hurt or upset you then it isn’t an over reaction. Even if he says it is harmless it was hurtful to you and really not the done thing when you have a girlfriend.

CrazyCatNerd · 11/05/2019 16:44

Of course it's not harmless.

ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule · 11/05/2019 16:45

If my DP said that to another woman, I'd be livid. If a man I knew said that to me, I'd be massively uncomfortable because he'd have way overstepped the line, and I'd be cutting contact with him. What would your BF say if another man texted you exactly what he sent her?

WhereYouLeftIt · 11/05/2019 16:45

Yikes. He'd be binned before the day was out.

Mooey89 · 11/05/2019 16:45

Nope. LTB

WokenUp · 11/05/2019 16:45

Put that trash in the bin 🗑

AuntMarch · 11/05/2019 16:46

If he was my boyfriend, yes I'd absolutely hit the roof, and he wouldn't be my boyfriend any more.
