To be p*ssed off DP has a pointless 30m call with a female work colleague every day?

Just this. He has a 30 minute call with the same female work colleague (who he has stated "reminds him" of his ex-wife) every single work day. He's said it started as a project check in and now they just chat.

I don't really know how to bring this up with him but something about it just aggrevates me. It feels off. AIBU??

I’m sorry but I find this inappropriate. I’m sure it’s all innocent but IMO this is too much. There should be no need to schedule a “chat” unless working on something together. I would need to bring it up and keep an eye on his phone , is he then calling and texting outside work hours and is it even about work? Your gut is telling you some thing do not pass this off. If it was my husband I’d bring to his attention that’s a lot of time on someone and unsure her relationship status she may get the idea your husband fancies her. 3 red flags, booked calls when not working together (projects ect), meeting at the pub moving handbag and implied his a gentleman, women similar to ex wife. Why was the comment even made in comparison to ex wife? No from me. If I was this other women I’d be feeling special.

I don’t understand the people on here who don’t see the red flags. Chatting for half an hour a day? Reminds him of ex-wife? Told the story of being called a ‘gentleman’? Of COURSE he’s interested n his colleague!

Mumsnet is a very naive place, with some awesome ladies. Be careful about advice from here, to put it bluntly, they hold men on a pedestal (which they don’t deserve)

Really? MN has always struck me as the opposite. Filled with incredibly insecure people who seem to pend their lives warding off the green-eyed monster and see the slightest thing as a sign of an affair.

Both extremes can be true of course.

You wouldn’t be posting if you felt secure in your relationship, so the population is bound to be skewed. I guess people post on mn because it feels a safe space, somewhere you can air your thoughts and get opinion on things you wouldn’t necessarily want to discuss in real life.
