Is there anything wrong with this Facebook Conversation between DP and 'girl from work'?

I don't want to be the almighty Miss Paranoia but I've just stumbled across this facebook conversation. DP was at my house last night and was using my laptop. He must have closed it down without logging out of facebook and not realised he would still be logged in next time I opened it up again. I admit, I was nosy when it opened on his profile and so looked at his private messages (a bit of history here with innapropriate texting of a girl from work last year, hence the nosyness). So anyway I'll just repeat part of the convo here and you can tell me if I'm being a nutter or not.

Mark: hi Laura thanks for the birthday message , hows you ? xx

Laura: hey Mark, no problem
i am good thanks how are you?

Mark: im good thanks

Laura:good good

Mark: your looking very well in your photos

Laura: awww thankyou i am worried that i have put weight on lol

Mark: you look gorg as always , not same at work with out you

Laura: awww thanks Mark, you do know how to make me feel good

Mark: Yay :) :) hows Work? how long do you have left over there?

Laura: its going good thanks, was supposed to finish in June but staying another 6 months as I like it here

Mark: right i got to go back to work, you keep bing your gorgous and bubbly best, chat again xxxx

Laura: thanks hun take care speak soon xxxxxx

This is a girl he previously admitted to fancying and bought her a birthday present last year behind my back. I know the convo doesn't sound that bad but is it normal for men to give some OTT compliments about appearance to women from work? This girl is currently in Japan btw.
Previous conversation between the two of them involve no mention of me and when she asked how things are in England, he replied "Same shit, different day". When she left we'd broken up and he told her this. Would it now not be appropriate to mention that we'd got back together since she left?

Or am I being paranoid?

What kitty cat said. She's polite, but def not flirting back, it's all him, sorry, I'd personally get rid.

OP, his behaviour shows that 'he's just not that into you'. You're not even living together yet and he is flirting with an assortment of other women. Surely he should be excitedly planning the next big step with you and keeping you interested in him rather than sowing seeds of doubt.

If he is like this now, it won't get better.

Has he actually cheated? I mean that as in sex texts, webcam sex, internet sex, and actual sex with another woman.

Because those messages sound like nothing. Ok, he's pretending to be a bit of a teen (40 is NOT bloody old by the way) and who doesn't pretend to have more of a social life than they do? He hasn't actually invited these women out though has he? He's just chatting with them and in doing so getting a bit of an ego boost but nothing more.

Unless I'm missing more background? You see, you say he's done it before but what has he done exactly? Shagged? Or just sent the same kind of messages/texts that actually say nothing at all?

Have I missed something?

I am struggling with this. What exactly is the problem?

Why on earth would you want to be in a relationship someone who has such David Brent-style cringey conversations with women 20 years younger than he is?

And you're only 30?

Is this a joke?

Sallyingforth · 03/05/2012 13:22

It don't matter how far he's got with her.

What does matter is that he's clearly not committed 100% to you, and in that case he's not 'living with' material.

Sounds like he's keeping his options open.
