DH can't stop talking about female boss!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm sure someone will point me in the right direction if it's not.
I'm looking for an impartial view on whether I'm being unreasonable or not.
My DH can't seem to stop talking about his boss (who's a woman), it has been grating on me for a year at least. Last September he came in from work and in the course of an hour had mentioned her name 30 times (Yes I kept count!).This also coincided with spending more time at work and even joining the gym at work on Saturdays. Last October it got the better of me and I told him that constantly mentioning his boss was getting me down, he got angry and said I was accusing him of being unfaithful and I was obsessed etc, I let the subject drop as I didn't want the confrontation but the references to his boss soon started again (the most irritating was three minutes after I got in from work and sat down!). At an event a month and a half ago I noticed he couldn't stop sneaking a look at his boss when he thought I wasn't looking and tonight he asked if I minded if he went to a dinner party for the various heads of dept! Another argument broke out and I pointed out I'd seen him keep looking at his boss, he glossed over this while getting angry that I was accusing him of being unfaithful etc ........ Am I being paranoid or do I have good reason to be suspicious of him?

What are people's views on this, our DD has the same name as my DH boss and as I was dropping her off at school her mobile rang and it was her Dad who had rung her by mistake, the mistake being I suspect was he meant to ring his boss with the same name! Is it normal to ring your boss on your personal mobile if you are sat at your desk with a phone on it? I would use the office phone or is that just me being paranoid again? I know he has used his mobile in the past to speak to her as I've checked his call log.

Definitely meant to ring her.

Ugh the thought of his crush makes me cringe.
I would absolutley go with the idea about mentioning a male co-worker.

I would be paticulary concerned with the fact H mentioned she had called her H a loon. They are cleary talking about their relationships. So what has he been saying about yours?

Footballmumofthefuture, good point I hadn't actually thought of that! Apparently her husband drops in the office every now and again and I used to hear what a nice chap he was but obviously now he's a loon (That rang alarm bells straight away) next I'll be hearing he doesn't deserve her! Oh and they can't have children so she has more free time to look good!

I'm not usually a fan of tit for tat but I do think you should pick someone, it doesn't even have to be a work colleague, it could be Philip Schofield or someone and mention them 30 times in an hour just so he can see how ridiculous he's being.

I had to sit down with my ex husband and be very assertive about him not encouraging a workmate who was doing her best to Snag him. He’d got carried away with the attention I think. After the second one hour evening call from her one week, I hit the roof and asked wtf was going on.it certainly helped him to see things differently and he cooled the relationship with her.
Cheeky cow even suggested going skiing ‘without partners’- can’t think why. It was only after our conversation that he began to see her for what she was. Still it didn’t stop him running off with someone else years later though!

Fuckwithnosensesauce: i'm sorry to hear your DH did the dirty on you ☹, I think my other half is basking in the attention, he needs to be careful because if I'm pushed too far that will become his only source of attention well apart from my solicitor ;-) Thank you for your advice.
