Light hearted, but a bit miffed

[Courtney555]

If you called your husband at work, for something pretty trivial, and you said, "and also I'm just calling to say 'love you' "

Would you be surprised that they wouldn't say it back as they were sitting in earshot of another male colleague?

It's bothered me a bit. Just curious how many other people's DHs wouldn't say it over the phone because another man was in the room?

If it makes any difference, it's a member of his team, not an relatively unknown colleague.

If you called your husband at work, for something pretty trivial,

I wouldn't be doing this in the first place as it's extremely unprofessional.

I wouldn't call my DP at work for something trivial YABU

OP is ypur DH close friends with the colleague? maybe they do a lot of office banter taking the piss out of women and he didn't want to look/sound uncool/soppy. They might start taking the piss out of him in the office or something along those lines.

God cringe. No way would I say it over the phone at work

I'd also be a bit annoyed about being run for something trivial. Ffs u can tell him you love him when he gets home
