Your husband is up to no good.

BubblingUp · 08/09/2017 01:23

Her comment was fine. His comment was pervy. Does he have form for sexually harassing co-workers?

SilverdaleGlen · 08/09/2017 01:25

Can't really read that, but if I have split them down right then she's being normal/brushing him off and he's a huge sleazy perv to someone in his work Shock

I'm so sorry OP.

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/09/2017 01:28

He's either open to a sexual harassment suit or he's up to no good. Both terrible.

WanderingTrolley1 · 08/09/2017 01:31

Doesn't look good.

NannyRed · 08/09/2017 01:44

I have to agree with the others, your husband is a dirty old man, waiting for a sexual harassment case to happen. Not nice for his poor co-worker, very disrespectful to his wife. I'd be fuming.

LondonLassInTheCountry · 08/09/2017 01:47

Maybe she is using "code"

Either way, your husband is up to no good

HappenedForAReisling · 08/09/2017 02:03

Who will be a little tied up?

Desmondo2016 · 08/09/2017 08:40

Sounds to me like they had plans for him to go to hers and she was letting him know about the carpet fitter coming so he avoids that time. Although your post was difficult to decipher.

demirose87 · 08/09/2017 08:45

I think they are both flirting if she's the one that says he's a little tied up. It doesn't sound good.

SandyY2K · 08/09/2017 08:45

Something is going on for him to be so familiar with her. Sit back, be smart and get more proof, as he could call that banter.

LellyMcKelly · 08/09/2017 08:50

Are you sure this isn't some sort of weird code for a meet up? Carpet fitter - getting her underfelt - etc. Either way, he's either up to no good, or wants to be up to no good. The 'tied up' but is definitely leading.

Chimchar · 08/09/2017 09:30

She might have sent it to the wrong person she had plans with ... "hiya. Carpet fitter coming at one so I'll be tied up for an hour or so". Perfectly innocent.

It's really difficult to judge in situations like this without knowing their relationship, or anything more about them. Might have been a cheeky response from your dh, taking the piss.

SparklingRaspberry · 08/09/2017 09:47

Not looking good I'm afraid

It doesn't mean he's having an affair

But it's certainly crossed the line and I'd be fuming. He's basically letting this woman know he wants to shag her.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 08/09/2017 10:43

Was he due to visit at 1pm? Is he her manager and so telling him she'd be late back/taking a later lunch than normal?

Both are flirting. Her "tied up" comment is leading, but he set the tone. They're either flirting with an affair or having one.

JemandScout · 08/09/2017 10:47

Sounds like code to me.

KityGlitr · 08/09/2017 10:54

Don't think what she said was inappropriate. 'Tied up' is a well known phrase for being busy, nothing to do with S&M. Husband is being a disgusting perve. I wonder what their relationship is like for him to feel comfortable sending that? I would never get something like that from a colleague!

Gemini69 · 08/09/2017 17:35

he wants to CUM at 1pm .. Shock

he's disgusting OP Flowers

Either way it's highly unprofessional, very inappropriate and he sounds like a sleazy, creepy pervert who fancies his chances.
Yuck.

Adora10 · 08/09/2017 17:52

I think some of the replies are OTT tbh.

Depends entirely on their kind of friendship, it could all actually be just banter, depends on the personalities involved, sexual harassment and pervert are a bit harsh based on one text!

Lottey90 · 08/09/2017 17:52

This sounds like a banter-ish type message I'd get off my male work friends (also close out side of work). I wouldn't think anything of it from them.... but if another male co worker sent it I would be Hmm.

I'm guessing if you don't know the women then this is v inappropriate
