to be a bit hurt when

[WinkyWinkola]

DH, in the cab on his way home, tells the driver that he wishes he were single when he sees some of the staff at his new (and old) place of work as they are really good looking. Especially when he tells me he never notices women.. . .. . Heavens, I'm a dumbo, aren't I?

He really should make sure he knows how to work his new mobile, make it locked and not ringing all and sundry without his knowledge.

I know, I know, snoopers always hear what they don't want to hear but I wasn't exactly snooping, was I?

That sounds very sad..

Is there any other way it could have been interpretted? COUld he just have been agreeing with dodgy cab drvier?

Is he back yet? And what did you say? Or were you just waiting behind the door with a frying pan?
Personally, I would get myself all dolled up, and walk out the door as he walked in saying, 'Wish you were single? Why don't you try it for a bit, I'm off out?'

You overheard the convo then?

I would make a point of lusting and leering openly about neighbours/friends/nearby shopkeepers for a bit.

maybe was just aman being laddish around another man you know with all the banter and stuff he prob didnt mean it
and at the end of the day he will look at other women as mine does but its only looking and if hes never acted on it you have no reason not to trust him xxx
i can imagine how you must feel it would have hurt my feelings to x

I overheard the convo. I'm v. guilty of carrying on eavesdropping right now. But they're talking about the Middle East and politics.

Not really sure if it's significant at all, him saying he wishes he were single. But I'm a bit hurt, it has to be said. Pish.

I have a cricket bat, would you like me to courier it to you?

That made me laugh, lapin. Thank you.

I guess we all window shop!

I feel for you, I really do, and I would probably be dreaming up ways of revenge, BUT, at least he was only saying he was wishing, rather than you hear a convo with another girl and him telling her he loved her!!!!

if nothing else, you can drop hints on the heard snippets and watch him squirm......

It was probably just a bit of male bravado. I would tell him you heard him though - just to make him squirm!

FWIW at least he says he wishes he WAS single, which can be interpretted as 'but im not, so would never do anything'

Horrible thing to overhear though.

Of course you are hurt. No woman would like to hear their dp say that. But in all likelihood, if your relationship is generally good, it is, as the rest of the posters say, just male banter. Sorry you are feeling like this but maybe you should put the phone down now!

ooh - x posts psychomum!

lol....almost exact words too!

Is the line still open? Blow a whistle down it, it will scare the daylights out of him

And also, I really believe that any man who says he doesn't notice women is lying. Probably to make their partner feel better or more secure. We ALL notice attractive people, we would have to be dead not to!

Yes, I think I'll have a laugh about it and watch him wriggle a bit. He'll be studying his 'phone manual tonight, that's for sure!

I trust him but it's kind of hard knowing that there are some v. sassy types at his work - I've seen them and they are v. groomed and sophis - whilst I am at home in bogey smeared jeans.

Forgive me but it's a bit strange his phone would 'accidently' call and you'd hear just this exact snippet of conversation, rather than him paying the fair or rustling in his pocket etc?

I dunno- my dad's phone is always ringing here and I hear him carrying on in the background. I've lost count of the number of times I've stood in my hall phone in my hand shouting Daaaaaad to no avail.

Sounds like male banter to me.

Strange in what way, TDWP, what are you implying?

Oh Devil. Read the thread.. . . . . . .

my DH's phone rings people at will too.......and he only has to tap it or move funny!!

tis funny tho watching him try to work out why I know stuff about his friends that he hasn't told me[evil grin]

when he gets in just say to him, 'do you ever wish you were single; that there are so many opportunites passing us by every day? I DO. Then leave it at that.

Greet him with " be careful what you wish for"

Is he home yet Winky?
Ask him if his phone is off yet. Hopefully he will look, slowly realise and.... squirm city!
tbh I would be hurt too, but bet it was likely just daft macho comments

Sorry I was a bit hasty there.
It just sounded a little like a made up story, perhaps as a cover to get advice on an insecurity.
It does just sound like what typical men talk about. I wouldn't take anything from it at all.
