Sorry another what would you make of what was on my partners phone type thread!

First of all i dont believe what hes told me, but just wanted to see what other peoples thoughts were as i may have this wrong.

So had a lovely day went for dinner and my partners mum babysat- all good. Went home and and me, him and DS carved a pumpkin-lovely. He then went out to say how he was speaking to a tattooist to do a cover up and showed me some examples this guy had sent him. He scrolled too far by accident and ended up on a pic of a girl in just her underwear taking a 'selfie' in a mirror. Couldn't see her face. Looked like she was in a hotel or something. He quickly scrolled off but i said what was that! He then pretended he didn't know what pic i was going on about and frantically scrolled back through other pics. I said no that pic of that girl- whats that about!

His explanation was my friend sent it too me, he sends me pics of girls all the time claiming 'she's hot' or 'im speaking to this girl'. I said ok then prove that it came from him by going on your chat and click on the media to find that pic. He then started getting defensive saying no, then tried to make an attempt to find it but surprisingly couldn't. Showed me other pics of girls sent from this guy but they would just of girls faces who were fully clothed. Then my partner said oh maybe it was from the work group chat, which this friend is also a part of. Apparently there are about 6 groups set up because 1 member keeps leaving or something and he cant remember what group it came from. So i said ok show me it came from the group-he couldn't. Then he said something about how it was a screenshot and this person sent it and why would he have it but wouldn't let me look at the pic again as i feel he was lying.

Turned it on me getting defensive, saying i was being stupid for accusing him of a girl sending him this pic. No apology or anything just straight on the attack. I said even if you are telling the truth i think its disrespectful to have those pics on your phone of random half naked women. Hes currently not talking to me, like i've done something wrong.

So what do people think of this? Lie or another explanation?

Sorry Ahhh, I should have said whatsapp - I don't use either so I wasn't paying proper attention!

I'm not specifically saying you're a fool - you would be, if you let this slide I guess, just saying, this is a line in the sand moment. He's clearly unreliable and no one on here would want you to be posting again in another six months or a year. He's a total shit and you've been generous in allowing him a second chance already - which shows how nice you are, and how not nice he is. I wasn't intending to criticise you I really wasn't - I just know as well how hard it is to break away, even from a tit like this! Flowers Flowers Flowers Flowers

Ahhh1234 · 29/10/2017 20:09

i agree mummy the other pics he managed to show me directly from that chat would just of long shots with girls in dress or selfies but nothing sexual

I see this messaging other women lark as a kind of addiction, brought about easily with so much social media to pick from. It's his problem not yours, you gave him another chance - he fucked up again. Awful for you, but you can hold your head high, as you are clearly superior to this dick-led idiot.

Ahhh1234 · 29/10/2017 20:12

thanks keep that did make me laugh- i do love a yorkshire! Don't worry i didnt think you were. I was just agreeing that i thought i was an idiot too. i think he played on my weakness of loneliness as a single parent to lure me back in! Urgh!!! Need to be stronger

WhatsApp does save pictures in your normal photo album. I’m a member of several chat groups based around hobbies and every time someone posts a pic of something it automatically saves in my photo album. I have to keep deleting random pics of all sorts. I have an iPhone. Don’t know if there any way of turning that function off.

He does sound a bit defensive and lying though.

Ahhh1234 · 30/10/2017 07:28

adorabelle I know this is why I asked him to actually go on the chats itself and asked him to click on the media section so I could see it actually came from the chats he was saying they were from. But he couldn't find it, funnily enough

Ahh well with his history it's clear that he has been up to no good. Big hugs to you, it's not nice. There's a thread on here for no contact/breaking up with people, and we're all motivating each other to move on with our lives and get rid of toxic people, so feel free to keep us updated in there :) You know you deserve better than that moron xx

Ahhh1234 · 30/10/2017 10:45

Thanks meow what's the thread called? Think I need motivation when it gets hard to stay away from him!

Christ on a bike the people patiently explaining that whatsapp pics download to your phone, when the OP clearly stated she knows this and that's why she was insisting on being shown the media from the whatsapp conversation!

Glad you're done with him. Wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Pretending he didn't know what you were on about when you saw the pic? He's making a complete fool of you.
