To think this is a little odd

[abitshitsorry]

DH works in a smallish office around 15 people. One of his colleagues has been there around a couple of months they're all good friends in the office. Would you think it was a bit odd if they went on holiday and brought DH a small holiday present back like a key ring and nobody else in the office with no prior discussion and nobody else getting anything

No?

No not at all, perhaps it reminded the giver of a shared joke or something they had in common.

Do you think the gift of a keyring is code for “I want to shag your brains out?”

Not unless it’s a heart saying “I love you”!

Tbh I’d probably think it’s a bit weird but what’s the context? Is it a jokey present?
You are obviously threatened by her in some way (I’m assuming it’s a woman?)

No.

No but I assume the colleague is going to turn out to be female..

Yeah tbh I knew I was being unreasonable as soon as I sent the post just irritated me how smug he was telling me last night and telling me how everyone in the office teased them but I think that's more a me problem 😂

Smug about what?

Teased them about what? Is their office 'banter' about them fancying eachother?

Male or female colleague?

Do you think they fancy your DH?

Why is he 'smug' about it?

Why do you think they singled him out?

Him being smug is a bit strange, tbh...

I'm guessing your DH told you he'd got this gift and that no one else in the office had received anything. He must also have told you about the office banter going on. What's his game? Is he trying to make you jealous OP? His behaviour would upset me more than the act of the gift giving, although I would wonder why the colleague singled out your DH.

Why did "everyone in the office" tease them? If it was a joke gift then I'd get it but if it was a gift bought specifically for him with no known reason then yes I'd find it weird. I find it weird buying work colleagues gifts from your holiday anyway though!

Female colleague. Yeah I don't think it's that odd just the way he went about it. He said he was the only person to get something and the rest of the office was teasing him about it not sure 100% what in regards but definitely in regards to being the only person. I said I felt a bit jealous that he'd told me in a lighthearted way and he said i was being silly

Sounds like he’s actively trying to make you jealous though?

I think it is a bit odd, not from your DH's pov but hers, unless it is some kind of office joke I'd keep my eyes and ears open for any other signs.

I think that’s odd. The present and his reaction.

Yes I think its odd...I agree with puds11 - odd on both counts

I think it's odd and it would piss me off to be honest. Sounds like he was crowing like "she likes me best. .I'm the only one that got a present" bit disrespectful to you.

I dont think the present so odd.

But the fact that he is trying to make you jealous is very odd.

The smugness would irritate me. He clearly wants you to know that other colleagues tease them, too.

Tbh if he were prepping for an affair he’d say nothing and hide the key ring, or say that everyone received one. So I don’t think that you have a cheating scenario here. But I do think he wants to nettle you, and I wonder why. Inferiority complex?

Yeah how he acted about it was weird, so he's either trying to make you jealous for an ego boost or he has some sort of a crush on her and is telling you all that because he's got a case of mentionitus.......neither is attractive

If your spidey senses are up, there's probably a reason. Basically
She bought him a gift and no one else
He effectively teased you about it and 'joked' that the other workers thought it was funny.
Not okay

What @AryaStarkWolf said. I agree 100%
