Female messaged dp that she’s ‘obsessed’ with him

Hello all, am I being unreasonable?

dp and I returned home from the spa. When we were there he posted a photo of himself in the mirror with his shirt off to his Instagram story. He has a large social media following due to his fitness profession.

when we got home he was telling me ‘she said she’s obsessed with me’. He kept repeating it and said ‘let me show you’. I said no thank you I don’t want to see and that I don’t want to argue. I said this because I knew if I saw the message it would upset me and I’m not in the mood to argue about it.

he gets ALOT of attention on social media from women. From young to older ladies, he meets most of them from his workplace at the gym. He proceeded to show me the message, which I could only see some of as his hand was covering some parts.

she said ‘you are hot as f*ck’. Then she said ‘I’m obsessed with you’.

I’m not particularly bothered about her messages. I can’t stop females from being attracted to him or trying their luck on social media. What bothered me was the fact I saw he had responded to her messages multiple times. Fair enough what I saw were just short responses, for example when she said she’s obsessed he replied ‘really?’.

he had responded every time. Now if that was me all hell would break loose. I couldn’t imagine a guy in my dms telling me he thinks I’m hot and I actually replied to his messages and then had the audacity to laugh about it and show my dp. He thinks it’s innocent that he showed me but I think it’s outright disrespectful.

he would never accept me responding to a guy in my dms especially considering it was clearly a flirty manor that the female thinks he’s got as fuck.

he apologised in the end but I think it was just a cop-out. He doesn’t actually see the harm or problem in what he’s done.

Your DP is an attention seeking twerp, this would give me major ick

Hibiscrubbed · 15/09/2023 20:54

Jesus Christ. He’s beyond disrespectful. And a controlling hypocrite if he’d go mental at you for similar behaviour.

I wouldn’t want to be with a self-obsessed, arrogant, attention-seeking prick like that, myself.

10HailMarys · 15/09/2023 20:57

He loves the attention and he gets off on making you jealous. He’s a dickhead.

Seriously! What on earth do you see in this cockwomble?

lionsleepstonight · 15/09/2023 21:00

He's hiding in plain sight.

Penguinsmum · 15/09/2023 21:00

That's not the kind of partner I would want.

SaylessSayless · 15/09/2023 21:00

He just sounds ridiculous.

100% this. Urgh could not be bothered with the immature twat.

MariePaperRoses · 15/09/2023 21:03

The correct response to private messages of that nature would be -

Thank you. My lovely wife agrees. If you are interested in subscribing to my fitness programme please sign up here - ........

Nothing more unattractive than vanity.

GodDammitCecil · 15/09/2023 21:09

Honestly, OP just dump the loser.

You can do so much better!

BoaBunsAreLovely · 15/09/2023 21:09

Any boyfriend of mine that posted a shirtless picture of himself would make my minge dry up like the desert & that’s without the blatant disrespectful messages to another woman.

He definitely just wants to make you jealous & is 100% loving the attention. Get rid x

billysillydilly · 15/09/2023 21:15

he gets ALOT of attention on social media from women.

because of his selfies

SweetBirdsong · 15/09/2023 21:17

And you are still dating this man why?

Bin him. He's an arsehole.

tigerbear · 15/09/2023 21:18

I was with someone like this a few years ago. Hot, but thick as bulls lips.
Obsessed with his IG ‘fans’, shirt off photos all the time, lapped up the attention. This kind of guy is only in love with himself.

MsCactus · 15/09/2023 21:33

You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you...

GrazingSheep · 15/09/2023 21:42

Just ditch the loser

JohnnyYenSetHimselfOnFireAgain · 15/09/2023 21:46

How on Earth can you find such an arrogant, self-obsessed gobshite attractive? Do you really think he loves you as much as he loves himself?

tiredofthenoise · 15/09/2023 21:48

Ooh, that's embarrassing for him. He's obviously getting a thrill from all the ego-stroking. Engaging with her is completely disrespectful of you. Boasting to you about her 'obsession' is just disgusting. I'd start thinking about where the line in the sand is for you. Has he already crossed it? Is he prepared to change his bad habits before they lead to the end of the relationship?

Raincloudsonasunnyday · 15/09/2023 22:03

There’s something unsavoury and mercenary- sounding about your relationship, starting with you referring to women as “females”. You make them sound like pieces of meat. Which it sounds like your boyfriend does too. So, maybe you’re well-suited.

ConsuelaHammock · 15/09/2023 22:27

Can we see a pic of this ‘man’? Link to his instagram? I need a good laugh .

CruCru · 15/09/2023 22:33

I can see why you don’t like this. However, he is also leading this woman on and that is unkind.

DreamTheMoors · 15/09/2023 22:41

Forgottenmypasswordagain · 15/09/2023 20:16

Vain as a peacock.

Peacocks have brains the size of a peanut.
Without the shell.

edwinbear · 15/09/2023 22:44

I’d die of shame if a man I was dating posted half naked pics of himself all over social media. What a cock.

TheDaphne · 15/09/2023 22:51

Skybluecoat · 15/09/2023 20:58

Seriously! What on earth do you see in this cockwomble?

Yeah, if I were in a relationship with someone who posted topless selfies as though it wasn’t an act of extreme self-regarding vapidity my vagina would shut up shop.

Surely you don’t think this attention-seeking gymbunny tosspot is all you’re worth?
