DH was due to go out tonight with some ex colleagues/friends including his brother who worked for the same company! It was for a friend’s /colleague’s leaving party. DH was running late and was going to cancel, when said colleague messaged the group on their chat saying he was going to giving it a miss as he doesn’t want to spend his last night with a “🐍”. Then he and the rest of the boys left the group one by one (not before changing the group name to a bunch of snake emojis) leaving only DH and DH’s brother wandering what had just happened! And, yes, they are in their late twenties/thirties! And, yes, they actually changed the name of the group to a bunch of snake emojis! I can’t believe I typed this! Bare in mind, these are professional adults! Also, had DH been on time, he would have been left at the table in the pub with his brother!
DH messaged everyone in the group asking what had happened! Nobody told him anything until his brother confessed he had messaged his colleague’s ex girlfriend (but apparently it was innocent, although his colleague doesn’t think so and has “irrefutable evidence”!) I asked DH why he wasn’t more annoyed as I know it’s his brother (probably why they didn’t tell him anything) but they’re also his friends and most of them were at our wedding! He also speaks to them regularly! If it were me, I’d feel upset and betrayed. He just said, “I know, right”. Then I said jokingly, “unless you’ve been messaging this woman too”. He then replied, “I only messaged her asking her to give me motivation to join the gym, that’s it!” This woman has lost a tonne of weight and is looking very good nowadays! Just to give some context!
I repeated the story to a friend and her words were, “I wish I were as laid back as you! My ex-husband would be sleeping in his car!” She also said she hates when married men message her trying to start a conversation!
AIBU to suspect anything?
Yes, I know these men are childish!
