parsnips not unreasonable at all, I would be exactly the same, it may be the he deletes everything, innocent and all from her because he's worried about upsetting you, even though I'm sure you would prefer if they were there so you would know all is innocent!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 26/01/2017 21:30

The context of the messages were that she had been round to ours for a Christmas party and then she left and another colleague of theirs stayed a little longer. I was chatting to the other colleague and he was messaging Charlotte (the girl of concern) during this time saying oh parsnips and colleague are having a big one to one, I'm shattered, and she said fake a heart attack to get out of boredom and he said I already did and no one noticed blah blah blah - all just stupid stuff but I feel a bit uncomfortable that she is his go to message person. A few months ago he was on a work night out and I didn't hear from him most of the night and then he came back really late. Didn't bother me until she dropped into conversation that he sounded very drunk when he called her on his way home. I was really pissed off that I got radio silence all night and she gets the calls and texts. It is pretty bad now I see it written out like that isn't it. He does tend to be better friends with women. He has three sisters and just isn't really a mans man iyswim. I hate feeling like I'm being a control freak!

MrsC2017 · 26/01/2017 21:34

parsnips yeah that would bug me, and tbh if it bothers you you should just say it and ask him to not contact her like that, it upsets you whether there is anything in it or not and that should be reason enough for him to not message her!

DancingUnicorn · 26/01/2017 22:42

Parsnips sounds like a tough situation. I'm sure probably completely innocent, but totally understandable to feel a little off about it (I think I would too!)

I've felt so sick today. Still managing to eat tonnes of food though. So not even any benefit to feeling so sick! Really cannot wait for the weekend to start!

Seven0fNine · 27/01/2017 07:18

Meh don't worry parsnips we will hate charlotte with you.

Got my first ever positive opk yesterday so dtd last night. Actually felt like I was doing something useful!!

buzzmoon · 27/01/2017 07:31

parsnips I'm sure it's very innocent, just friendly, not flirty relationship? But if it's bugging you tell him- there's nothing worse than holding it in.

But I also hate Charlotte with you

seven exciting with your bfp!

Ovia says I'm in my fertile window and we dtd by accident last night oops. Looking forward to my opk/temp kit which should arrive today to know. Not really sure what my cycle is as it's first one after coming off pill.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 27/01/2017 07:33

DH had a Charlotte. A few years back. It was a close friendship, nothing more, but he didn't understand why I didn't like her and hated him seeing her. One day I stopped hearing about her and then, randomly, he told me she had tried to hold his hand at a work night out!! He was totally freaked out and stopped talking to her. Later we heard she had had an affair with someone at work, got pregnant and left her husband for the guy. WOMENS INSTINCT I say!! We know!

HeyJupiter · 27/01/2017 08:22

Charlotte sounds like a knob

Tigger83 · 27/01/2017 08:30

2lb off and on my af so will take that 23lb to go!!

Getting over horrid bug although still tired looking forward to the weekend!

MrsC2017 · 27/01/2017 08:34

Yeah I dislike Charlotte also and everything she represents! 👊
5dpo and I have a metallic taste in my mouth this morning... Finally a probably fake symptom I can spot!

confusedat23 · 27/01/2017 08:50

Hey Parsnips I would deffo be questioning that though! Is there a way he could have completely deleted the messages? Also you are not being paranoid! Me and DH have an open phone policy too! however he can be a little paranoid and it is annoying but we both are free to ask the other who they are messaging etc. It is better to be open if something is bugging you then it is to hide it in! I did this with as preiously mentioned ex-dp who was very over familiar with his ex's and i kept schum and just periodically checked his phone (bad i know!) but in the end i lost it on x-mas day (not even jealously just pure annoyance that he could be so pathetic to keep running to her calls) it was not pretty!

But if it makes you feel any better DH has a friend (We shall call her Charlotte also so now all bad women beggy D bitches shall be called Charlotte--) and she is a gf of one of DHs friends. They have known each other for years and he used to go out with her bff (who also hates me from a stupid teenage love triangle!) everyone knows each other in west london btw!!... well he is very much too familiar with this girl... even to the point where we have a double date night and I didnt talk to him after we got home because he just paid her all of his attention all night and took the piss out of me to make her laugh (did i mention she looks like hagrid!) Sorry to digress... basically everyone I know their DP has a Charlotte in some way shape or form and it is the most annoying thing every but 99% of the time it is inncoent! However you still need to make a point to himthat it bugs you so he is aware that is it upsetting and how would he feel the other way around?

YAY for the OPK Seven

Well done on the weight loss Tigger

Can't argue with those pee sticks Seven

Does anyone else ever have days when you think everyone is just taking the piss?... i cannot wait for the weekend! Lol

On other news still low on CBD OPK this morning... hoping for a high on Monday really to avoid bedroom floor BDing at nans... i forgot to add that its carpet too... there is no classy way to have carpet burns! Loool

TheGrumpySquirrel · 27/01/2017 09:39

OPKs arrived yesterday but delivered to neighbour! Will pick them up today hopefully, we DTD last night, would love to know if ovulation is on the cards

Happy Friday all!

Redpony1 · 27/01/2017 10:31

Well done Tigger !! Keep it up Grin

Good POAS efforts there Seven, mine was positive last night too so DTD then and this morning. Not holding out much hope though, it all feels a bit mechanical Hmm And there was some escapes this morning s no time to just lie there Blush

confused you'll have to resort to pulling the duvet on to the carpet to avoid bed squeaks and carpet burns Wink

Parsnips i also hate Charlotte! Although in your DH's defense I grew up with 2 older brothers and my next door neighbours for 15 years were boys & my best friends. I just get on better with men and i know that in the past i have had to give up on some male friendships because their new partners didn't like us chatting in the same way you'd perhaps tell your bff of the same sex stuff. But no excuse to delete messages though!

Redpony1 · 27/01/2017 10:32

escapees! **

Mummyme87 · 27/01/2017 10:34

Sorry for being away for a couple of days. Had Trouble getting a FRER and got a clearblue non digital which gave me a very faint line on all the tests I did but couldn't work out if it had a colour. Did a FRER this morning and it's negative 😞 I kind of knew this as don't trust the blue dye ones after all I have read although that's what I used without DS1. Still was getting my hopes up 😞
I'm only 13dpo, CD26. AF due on Sunday so still time I guess but would have expected a bit of a line if I did conceive this month.

I'm not doing any tests until at least Sunday now

Hope you're all well 😀

Mummyme87 · 27/01/2017 10:35

Actually I say AF is Devon Sunday, my cycles are 26/27days... still. It testing until sunday

buzzmoon · 27/01/2017 13:04

Okay girls madness has struck!
Just been into mothercare to get a first birthday present, and have come out with 40 quids worth of baby clothes for my non existent daughter Hmm they are absolutely beautiful though and just couldn't resist! Some super cute dresses for £3!! You're the only people I can tell and really want to show you so will post a picture later!!

Hope everyone's Fridays are going well and looking forward to the weekend!

buzzmoon · 27/01/2017 13:05
