Husband recieving flirty texts from customer

13 replies

Hi, I'm just looking some advice or a ear to listen to. My husband has a job that he has to text customers the night before saying he will be out the next day. Few months back I found that a customer had been sending him lots of texts and pictures, such as a picture of her on a beach and texts saying she wishes they could meet up for coffee. On her part the texts are very flirty. She even asked my husband to pick her up and drop her off home when her car was broke. When I approached my husband he told me it was nothing. Few days back I found more messages from her. It's got me really upset. I tell my husband that it's inappropriate for a customer to be sending stuff like that. Am I being silly?? Am I paranoid?

Does he reply to her?

He does reply. But he ignored the whole coffee date idea. I have told him just be professional and say ill be at yours tomorrow, but he tries to be nice.

Has he told you she is a customer?
Because it sounds as though she is actually a woman he is in a relationship with.

Yes he has made it clear that she is just a customer.

He needs to stand by his wife and politely make it clear that he’s not comfortable with her approach to their interactions. If he doesn’t then he’s disrespecting you.

Well I'm sorry OP but I don't see how someone who is " just a customer" would be sending him photos of her on a beach or asking him for lifts and suggesting dates.
There must be more to this because that is not flirting. Those are the type of messages people in a relationship send each other.

They're probably chatting a lot when he's round there for her to be comfortable enough to send beach photos. He needs to distance himself and only reply when necessary and not acknowledge the flirty stuff - but in real life as well as by text.

Also he's had a good opportunity with the coffee thing to text back something about having a policy of not meeting clients socially. Shuts it down whilst also reminding her she's only a client not a friend (or more!)

Or drop her as a customer if need be

He definitely needs to cut this off.

If he's texting anything beyond his generic business messages then it is dodgy. It's not hard. He simply shouldn't be replying at all. Does he really need her custom that badly?

QueenBitch666 · 09/11/2024 02:23

Any decent bloke would ditch her as a customer and block her. I smell BS

BH24 · 09/11/2024 02:30

He should be saying to her that it's inappropriate to be messaging things like that, especially as he's a married man
