So the other day when my partner was leaving his son home. As he usually does (Near a coastal area) he told me he left his son home then went a drive round the coastal area by himself because it was sunny and he was listening to music. He told me this as soon as he got to my house. He told me he originally asked his son did he want to go a drive round the coastal area but he’s 13 so he just likes gaming so went on home. So he told me it was sunny and he was listening to good music so he just went a drive around it. Is this normal? He messaged me around 6pm saying see you soon then came to my house around 6.50 and said oh I just went a drive by myself (he is really big into music) I accused him and asked was he away meeting a girl 🤣 does anybody else do this when it’s sunny

@YorksMa I’ve had a read too, OP is mad as a brush, she needs to be single.

I mean, he didn’t exactly have time to shag about did he 😂😂

You really need to chill out about this relationship, he will leave you and rightly so.

You have started 7 threads about various innocuous behaviours that you overthink about your partner.

You really shouldn’t be in a relationship. If you’re highlighting all these “issues” with him from his SM profile picture to a new toothbrush, it probably falls into the ‘abuse’ category. You need to let him go and sort your head out.

Christ alive! This isn’t the “should I leave my boyfriend because he won’t stop eating crisps?” saddo, is it? 🤦‍♀️

I doubt it. The thread would have been titled “My boyfriend was eating crisps. Should I be worried?”

Does it definitly not sound like he was meeting a girl?

No, it does not sound like he was meeting a 'girl', but I wouldn't blame him if he was. You are weird and controlling.

Defo was meeting another woman.

Accidentally said YANBU

YABU it's normal if you like to drive

He needs to. Maybe it would be a happier relationship for him.

Minasama · 03/07/2026 12:34

What’s the problem here? Seems very normal to go for a drive and listen to music, especially in beautiful scenery.
But if you think he is meeting a girl you need to judge whether you are normally quite paranoid or whether there is a reason he’s given you to think this. It wouldn’t occur to me to think my husband was meeting a girl if he went for a drive.

Congratulations on your boyfriends son getting two years younger in the last few months. Any tips on how to do this? I could do with stopping my own aging process.

UpDownAllAround1 · 03/07/2026 13:35

Is this the multi toothbrush guy?

😂😂 I actually copped this too but thought she had enough problems going on than to point out that even her paranoid rants aren't consistent anymore

rachel55488 · 03/07/2026 17:40

But when we where out for dinner last night he told me aw that’s the wee chippy I pulled in at on Sunday night to text you back like when he went a drive himself, why would he text me instead of ringing?? he then said I was gonna bring us a chippy but just went a drive himself. Why would he say about bringing me food when he knew I had a pizza with my daughter?

You need to stop this. You are being absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, if I were your bf I would be ending the relationship as you are paranoid..

Lostworlds · 03/07/2026 17:56

I go for drives all the time and listen to music. It’s nice to get some down time and just have a quiet moment, especially if it’s a nice day and a nice drive.
He text you, he told you what he was up to, is there any reason that you’re not able to trust him?

Unless he has a history of cheating then I think you’re over reacting.

SunnyRedSnail · 03/07/2026 18:13

@rachel55488 either this post is a wind up, or you are incredibly insecure, or you are somewhat deranged!!!

Lots of people go for a scenic drive when its nice. I do when I visit my parents at the coast.

Frazzled89 · 03/07/2026 18:27

You sound insecure and borderline controlling, poor bloke. You should not be in any relationship at all.

Have you sought a counsellor yet?
Because you need A LOT of therapy.

ChalkOutlines · 03/07/2026 18:45

Go outside and touch some grass. Then break up with this guy, do A LOT of work on yourself and then maybe, just maybe you might be ready to date again. Atm you’re toxic . To him and yourself.

NotEnoughtGin · 03/07/2026 20:45

Oh fuck, it's you again! I feel sorry for your poor boyfriend, he sounds like a normal person and you are an immature fuckwit.

If he wants to go for a drive on a nice day, that's fairly normal. Your obsession over his driving/toothbrush/spreaking to people is just weird.

Dump him, he deserves better. Then get some therapy because you have issues

FieryA · 03/07/2026 20:59

How do people like you get a partner? You sound very paranoid, immature, and quite silly. If you are constantly doubting every action of your partner, what's the point? How exhausting. Leave him and be free of all worry.

ClaredeBear · 03/07/2026 21:11

I’m not too sure what the question is!

Eightdayz · 03/07/2026 21:40

Deffo cheating.

Next time demand to smell his penis. This will confirm your fears.
