Saw a text message on his phone

I was round at my Bfs house yesterday and I was sat in his room watching TV and he went downstairs to make some food. His phone was next to me on the bed and it beeped so I looked. It was a message from a work colleague (he’s a kitchen assistant). The message said ‘ just tell that girlfriend of yours to shut the fuck up’. I know I shouldn’t have and I don’t usually snoop but I just really wanted to know what they had been talking about me for. The message my Bf sent was ‘can’t work any more hours this week, that bitch is already complaining’. He works a lot of hours, finishes late a lot. He had obviously been asked if he could work extra. I wasn’t complaining at all, I just wanted to spend time with him and I feel like we hardly see each other at the moment.

And to be referred to as ‘that bitch’ just threw me tbh. What would you do? Would you tell him you had seen the message?

Consider this your warning bell.

Gather your self respect and leave.

He calls you a bitch and has a temper - why on earth would you stay?

I know we joke about LTB on MN a lot, but LTB

Any thoughts, OP?

I'd have taken a screenshot of the messages, text it to him and left.

You deserve more than that.

This.

So disrespectful and no excuse for it.

If you're not married to that man, run for the hills! He has zero respect for you

100% this. He has zero respect.
Go!

The fact that his prior behaviour and quick temper mean you don't want to let him know you know this...

screams GET OUT NOW!... This is not a good relationship. Run.

I’m another person saying I’d dump him. He doesn’t defend you, he doesn’t insist on respect for you. Instead, he slags you off to other people and calls you insulting names behind your back. Get rid of him.
