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.

No it's not harmless. It's a betrayal of trust and I would not stay in a relationship with someone who flirts with other women like that.

Nanny0gg · 11/05/2019 16:47

No. Not harmless

Iputthescrewinthetuna · 11/05/2019 16:51

No Op, I would not be biting my tongue!
Question, did she send him a picture message? And that was his reply? Or is that on facebook and he messaged her privately or text her?

The reason I ask is, if she sent him a picture message I would say there is more going on than a one sided flirt!

It doesn't matter to be honest! My partner would still be packing up his stuff!

MissMogwai · 11/05/2019 16:52

Not harmless. Get rid.

Don't listen to any bullshit about it meaning nothing.

Shoxfordian · 11/05/2019 16:53

He would be my ex boyfriend if that happened

TrixieFranklin · 11/05/2019 16:54

He sounds like a cunt. How long have you been together?

Zoflorabore · 11/05/2019 16:54

Did you read the messages either side of that one op? Just wondering whether or not she had sent him a picture which may be saved somewhere?

Whatever this is though, it's not good.

Crunchymum · 11/05/2019 16:55

Why are you not saying anything?

You need to tell this fucker exactly what it what...... culminating in you dumping his sorry arse.

How long have you been together? Do you live together?

notanymoreyourenot · 11/05/2019 16:56

The message is not harmless. He is clearly telling her he wanted to fuck her.

Sorry to be blunt.

microferret · 11/05/2019 16:57

Jesus. I'd be furious. what the fuck does he think he's doing?
I hope you're not in too deep logistically with this man because he's definitely not a keeper...

Iputthescrewinthetuna · 11/05/2019 16:58

Few excuse he may come up with, just to make sure you are prepared!

Wow, you shouldn't go through my phone, I will make this out to be your fault!

It is just banter, you know I love you!

I work with her and I know she has low self esteem, she is going through a rough patch at the moment and I wanted to cheer her up!

I was just being polite!

She keeps coming on to me and I don't know how to react. I feel so uncomfortable.

It wasn't actually from me, my friend gave her my number so I am pretending to be him.

I don't know what texts you are talking about 'quickly deletes all texts'

I'm sorry, I was drunk.

But I feel so low, we haven't be n so close recently, I feel pushed away sometimes, I was just having a little laugh, you wasn't supposed to see.

There are many more! Just be aware, there will be bull shit!

Sofagirl · 11/05/2019 17:04

It doesn’t sound like you’ve been together long or are serious about each other

managedmis · 11/05/2019 17:06

I wouldn't even bother asking him. Just dump him.

managedmis · 11/05/2019 17:07

and it would be the end unless he made some MAJOR amends.

^^

What would those amends be? Just curious

Puffkin · 11/05/2019 17:08

His attention is elsewhere, surely you’re worth more than being someone’s stop gap until they find someone ‘better’? Bin him off.

DustOffYourHighestHopes · 11/05/2019 17:10

Don’t get angry. Don’t shout, don’t talk. Just bin him.

And thank god that you’ve seen him for who he truly is before wasting more time.

AsleepAllDay · 11/05/2019 17:12

Dump!!!!

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 11/05/2019 17:13

She's irrelevant. Anything he says about her is just a distraction

RavenLG · 11/05/2019 17:18

I know what he will say ...it's harmless etc

Well it's not harmless is it because you're upset, and feel disrespected. End of.

Sigh81 · 11/05/2019 17:20

I would be angry. I would never expect a DP of mine to say that to another woman. If I said that to a man, I would expect my DH to be very upset (with good reason).

Squigglesworth · 11/05/2019 17:23

No, that's not okay. I'd take it as a sign that he's not really invested in the relationship and get out now. I might not even bother discussing it with him, if I didn't feel like it. You don't owe him any explanations.

Actionhasmagic · 11/05/2019 17:23

Not good OP... you deserve better

Chocolate1984 · 11/05/2019 17:26

He is out of order. Looks like he is trying to date her.

trevthecat · 11/05/2019 17:27

There will be much more to this. Get rid

areyoubeingserviced · 11/05/2019 17:27

He would be out on his ear
He’s making a fool of you.
There are no excuses
