About DHs boss messaging past 11pm?

I'm a bit stuck on this one and it's causing so many arguments. DH is self employed, financial role but is self employed for a company if that makes sense? His boss (female in case it makes any difference) will quite frequently message him out of hours, anything up until midnight, certainly not always work related. She also left him an entirely unnecessary, completed pissed voice message early hours of New Year's Day.
I'll be the first to admit I have trust issues, which doesn't help. DH was previously caught messaging someone else, but after a lot of time and hard work, we put that behind us. I know 100% he isn't cheating, I know she's not his type and that he finds it equally infuriating, but he doesn't want to rock the boat as she could potentially cease to give him any more work. But I've had enough. It's causing so much stress and so many arguments. He thinks I'm being completely unreasonable and I should just let it go over my head. I don't feel that it's that easy

Work and social texts are unreasonable after 7pm or so. He needs to turn his phone off.

To clarify, he doesn't (that I know of) reply to these texts. But then she starts again in the morning. I feel like a line is being crossed and DH doesn't agree. He's told me to just suck it up and put up with it Sad

Why isn't he just ignoring the messages? sorry but this sounds shady to me OP

So he IS ignoring the messages?

MimiLaRue · 17/01/2020 19:16

I dont get this- if he is ignoring all of her messages outside of work then why does she continue to message him? she'd soon realise it was pointless wouldnt she? and if he is completely ignoring then why do you have to "suck it up" this makes no sense

Your DH has form for.messaging someone else. I'm a bit Hmm at "we" working hard to get past that. He needs to accept that because of what HE has done, it's up to HIM, not you to work hard at fixing things. If he cant see how this is a problem, I agree with others that you have a DH problem.

Can you give some examples if the messages?

How many times has she messaged and he has ignored?

Josette77 · 17/01/2020 19:39

If he's ignoring the texts what is the issue?

She sounds unhinged
