Women who works with partner, AIBU?

I’m 32, bf is 33. Woman at work is 51. They hit it off right away. She’s apparently this really wonderful person who’s been through so much in her life that all she focuses on is the positives. When I heard about her she sounded great.

I was meeting my bf after work. She was dropping him to me from the office. He couldn’t locate me in the car park so he said he will meet me outside the supermarket. The lady parked in front arrived to her car and gave me a nasty look. A few weeks later, I met the woman from work for the first time and I instantly recognised her as the nasty woman from the supermarket. I thought hmm aren’t you this wonderful, positive specimen I’ve heard so much about. When I met her I felt she didn’t like me very much but was pretending.

Fast forward, she got our 3 month old some a Christmas present signed Auntie. Got my partner a separate gift. I wasn’t expecting anything but I feel like she did this on purpose.

What do you think? Am I being silly? I get she didn’t have to buy me anything but I’m the sort of person who would get a couple a joint gift. Like a bottle of wine or something like that.

I’m open to all opinions.

You don't know her. She's his friend. Why would she get you anything?

ChequerBoard · 24/12/2021 20:36

You're over thinking this massively.

So what if she scowled at you in a supermarket car park when she had no idea who you were?

Are you usually this insecure?

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 24/12/2021 20:38

You’ve taken against her based on very little.

Goldilocks99 · 24/12/2021 20:41

People think I scowl all the time but I just struggle to see without my glasses, which I don't wear all the time. Also, resting bitch face.
What's the present op. Surely she doesn't know you well enough to get you a present. I honestly would never get a colleagues wife or husband a present, but might accidentally get something joint(but because I didn't put in enough thought to get something personal or good)

TheNeverEndingOver · 24/12/2021 20:46

What did she get him?

NeverDropYourMooncup · 24/12/2021 20:46

Unless she was mouthing 'WANKER' whilst giving you two fingered salutes from both hands in the car, she probably was looking right through out in the carpark.

You're being ridiculous calling her nasty because she has RBF in Tesco's car park.

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/12/2021 20:49

One look?

I thought I could hold a grudge!

Landof · 24/12/2021 20:50

I have a resting batch face and I'd hate for people assuming things like this about me.

That @Landof

Right bastard Grin

BigYellowHat · 24/12/2021 20:55

Do you think she wants to shag your partner?

PurpleMauve · 24/12/2021 20:55

I’d keep an eye on her and your bf if I were you.

Tell your bf that you’re not comfortable with their relationship and that your radar is up.

Auntie - No. Has she even met your baby?

DrierThanANunsNasty · 24/12/2021 20:59

If she bought him a cock ring I’d probably be wary that they were having an affair, but most other things I’d let slide.

Bussinbussin · 24/12/2021 21:04

I'd be a bit Hmm at anyone who appointed themselves an auntie of my kids without ever having met them. (Which I assume she hasn't?) It's forced closeness from a workmate. Who knows what her motivation is though.

Aprilx · 24/12/2021 21:08

I think it is a bit odd to put Auntie on the present to the baby. But other than that I think you are being silly. You probably imagined the dirty look. If I were going to the house of a friend from work then yes I would get a joint gift, but otherwise if I want to buy a friend at work a Christmas present I don’t feel the need to make it a joint present with their spouse / partner.

Hrpuffnstuff1 · 24/12/2021 21:10

Auntie, that's creepy...😬

Yummypumpkin · 24/12/2021 21:19

You're being incredibly childish.

This woman is no threat to you yet you are eaten up to the point of this????

Really sad.

Yorkshirelass04 · 24/12/2021 21:25

I agree that it's creepy getting a present for your child from 'auntie'

And also, getting him a present. Unless they are close mates??

Catcrazy83 · 24/12/2021 21:29

Yanbu on the auntie thing, very odd behaviour if she hasn’t even met dc

Tillsforthrills · 24/12/2021 21:30

You’re not insecure, she sounds weird.

PurpleRayne89 · 24/12/2021 21:34

I appreciate all responses. I didn’t imagine the dirty look, I was with my sister at the time and even she was like “what’s her problem”. It wasn’t resting bitch face as her face change completely from its resting state. I didn’t know it was her at the time enough to be biased. She visited our home and then I was like oh that’s the woman from the other day. For me to remember her face weeks later, she proper gave me a dirty look. I think she’s presenting herself as someone that she isn’t to be fair. I don’t think she fancies my partner or anything like that. She’s 51 and looks her age so I’m not bothered. I just don’t get a very good vibe from her to be fair. She has met my son and I a few times and even spent time with us in our home. I just think if you’re referring to yourself as auntie you’re clearly attempting to insert yourself into our family. Except me being a part of it. That’s how I felt. My gut tells me she’s doing these things on purpose. She would never ask how I am yet she would ask how my mum is who she’s only met on one occasion on the offi chance.
