I received a text in error

Basically,

I am friends with A&B not the best of friends but we get on very well.

They have had their ups and downs and blips along the way as we all do.

I just received this

hi iMum Its ?. I just wanted to see if you are ok, Iknow you are with ?? and he is a lovely man I thought I would see all the same.

Now I just thought it was an odd new style fishing type text but then B phones me in complete panic, asks me to delete the message and some half cocked story about it being for this other person and he was just checking up that they were ok etc etc, he sounded very paniced.

So this puts me in an odd spot.

who sent this text, i don't understand how it was in error if they put your name in it.?

Grabaspoon · 03/06/2011 18:42

I don't get it - it wasn't sent in error if it says Hi Imum

AKissIsNotAContract · 03/06/2011 18:44

Not sure I understand. Are A and B a couple and the man sent you a flirty text? If that's not it then I don't get your OP.

unless iMum's name is v unusual, it could have been that he sent a text to, say, Sarah, and got the wrong Sarah

MinnieBar · 03/06/2011 18:50

Could you please repost with some actual names in so it's a bit clearer?

iMum · 03/06/2011 18:58

haha lol sorrry let me try to explain

Mrs A and Mr B are married.

Mr B sent me this text as i and the person he intended it for have the same name. the bloke this other me is with is unknown to me.

Basically it seems as tho he(mr b) was saying i know you are with him but i still fancy a go. he did have the air af a guilty man when he phoned me in panic and asked me to delete. the thing is that if the person he intended it for is who I think it is then its Mrs A's cousin!

Several readings- still can't get it

ClaireDeLoon · 03/06/2011 19:01

It does sound fishy but you don't have conclusive proof. Maybe his mistake will be enough to make him think twice, if he was thinking of trying to start something with the same name as you woman.

supadupapupascupa · 03/06/2011 19:01

oh! wanker! i'd be tempted to forward it to Mrs A and then ring him and say 'shit, sorry, sent by mistake!!!!'

actually i would probably keep out of it wimp emoticon

Longtalljosie · 03/06/2011 19:02

If you remove the word "Mum" it makes sense. I see. Well, since you're not particularly friends with either of them and you have no proof, I would leave it.

Right so you are talking about your two married friends.

The husband sent a text to a woman with the same name as you (his wife's cousin) with the intention of perhaps having an affair/seeing if she was interested in him in that way?

Then realised he sent it to you by accident as you have the same name and is backtracking and saying it wasn't meant in the way you thought it was?

Am I right?

TheMostBeautifulPoster · 03/06/2011 19:07
