Dh and girl on shpock

Notsure8 · 26/06/2019 06:25

Ok so name changed for this as basically it's embarrassing and I don't know if I'm being ridiculous.
Bit of background ....been with d h 10 years two dc and I'm pregnant with third. Dh has never given me any reason to not trust him. Good husband , dad nice guy etc.
Last night I was looking on his shpock at a window company as we are moving house very soon. In the news feed there was a girl let's call her emma . I said oh who's emma as it was a picture of her in a swimming costume and said "emma 9 is selling a swimming costume" it has already been clicked on. He said he didn't know who she was. I thought about it for a minute and questioned a bit more . ... Said you've obviously clicked on it. He said he must have looked he's sorry but he didn't know her. The thing is on my news feed i only get people in friends with on Facebook or in my phone book coming up.i checked and she lives locally.
He has reassured me that he doesn't know her that he clicked on her picture of the swimming costume when scrolling through local things for sale and has no idea how she was in his news feed . Was very sorry he's upset me , embarrassed etc etc .
The thing is aibu to be pissed off that He was looking at pictures of a local girl in her swimming costume when here I am pregnant. It's knocked my confidence a bit and I just didn't expect it of him really i thought much better if him so I feel quite sad.

Hormones talking..sounds innocent and at the very worst, scrolled through and saw a pic of a woman in a swimsuit 🤷‍♀️Normal-don’t worry!

Passthecherrycoke usually such 'sellers' are specialising in worn intimate clothing. You can't put underwear up, so they put up something they can and it leads to PMs about other items or pictures of feet etc.

I did not assume Emma was 9 . I thought it was her "username".

Not RTFT but hey hormones eh ?

Men have always been and will continue to be leery pervs who blame it on their genetic makeup

And what excuse do women have? Because do not tell me there aren't women who enjoy looking at photos of blokes with fit bodies, or who don't have a good perv at blokes on a night out or down the gym.

Why would a 9 year old sell swim wear on Shpock? Ffs people.
What he did was harmless OP.

bluebell34567 · 26/06/2019 10:09

why did he click on pic? was he shopping for ladies swimming suit?

mindutopia · 26/06/2019 10:10

I look at random people's profiles on Facebook marketplace all the time just to judge them. They are often wearing all sorts of things, from the modest to the barely there to the ridiculous. I have no sexual interest in any of them, even the half naked guys. I think you are being too sensitive and overthinking this.

Fatasfooook · 26/06/2019 10:11

To be honest, if there was a picture of a local guy in his swimming trunks on the Internet, I would probably look! Wouldn’t mean anything and it doesn’t mean I don’t find my dh sexy af. Let it go!

Morgan12 · 26/06/2019 10:17

I'm not 12 btw.

noonarna · 26/06/2019 10:22

If this is the first time he's done something to make you feel a bit uneasy/jealous then I really don't think you have anything to worry about. I'm constantly looking at random stuff that catches my eye whilst scrolling and stop myself thinking what the hell is this?!

MissRhubarb · 26/06/2019 11:04

There was a woman rehoming a dog in an advert the other day. I clicked on it because I couldn't believe the pics - it's was like she'd done a glam shoot with the dog as an accessory. She was WEARING a swimming costume in one of them posed by a pool. This is in Glasgow. I click on what would look like weird stuff all the time if someone looked. Often look up actors I like and then it's "ooh, I didn't know they were married to so and so..." Look up so and so and look at pics. It could be interpreted as MissRhubarb fancies anything with a pulse. I don't, just nosey and bored.

If I'd seen an ad for a swimming costume I'd have likely clicked on it because "weird - a secondhand swimming costume? Is that gross or not?..." I honestly wouldn't worry about your DH at all over this. But that said, I don't like catching my DP looking at another woman in "real life" on the rare occasion I clock him doing it so I can see why your mind went to where it did. A bit of insecurity is just natural I think for a lot of us.

SolsticeBabyMaybe · 26/06/2019 11:29

YABU sorry it's definitely not just friends that show up

Notsure8 · 26/06/2019 12:53

Thanks for all the replies.
So Iv learned :
Don’t use my kindle when writing a mumsnet post as inadvertently it puts a space after a name and a number .
Never call a woman a girl.
Thank my lucky stars that my dh is looking at pictures of women in swimsuits and not 9 year old girls.

We haven’t had a big row or anything I was just a bit upset about it we carried on our evening as normal. It was just still playing on my mind this morning hence this post .
He’s definitely not following her on there as iv checked. I have full access to his phone etc and know all his passwords he’s never secretive. It’s comforting to know that other posters have clicked on adverts and then get notifications that the seller is selling something new, as this is what he told me he thinks has happened.
I don’t think I will apologise as we haven’t fallen out or had an argument.

Yes modelling quite a few actually .... I had a nose

Why are you allowed to look but your partner isn't?

Notsure8 · 26/06/2019 13:11

@Zbag I was looking out of curiosity of what my dh was looking at.

I can see anything wrong with what he's done. A man looking at a woman in a swimming costume is pretty normal behaviour for a non-castrated male.

Just showed this thread to my wife and she laughed.
