Suspect my oh had a sex dream about someone else

Here’s why -

Mine and my oh phones are linked on fb, this is mainly because I upload things for him - photos etc so it’s just easier to log in from my phone.
Anyway, yesterday I received a drop notification from a woman that my oh was friends with years ago, but had drifted from. I personally suspect they fancied each other but nothing came of it - one was in a relationship when the other wasn’t etc.

Anyway, years have passed and they haven’t spoken much to my knowledge. He still has her on social media and occasionally will like a photo or a milestone status etc.

The drop notification said ‘what was the dream about?! Sexual or murder ?’

I didn’t click on the message, but another dropped down shortly after saying ‘I’m intrigued, tell me more’

I wanted to see what he had replied with - but the messages had gone. No record of her in his inbox. He doesn’t realise that I have received the notifications.

Then when he got back home, another dropped down saying ‘you horny devil you’

My oh went to the loo and must have replied an deleted again, because again - they were gone.

While this has gone on, I also want to mention that last week my father died. This evening I was organising the funeral and felt very tearful, so my oh was suffocating me with comfort and I didn’t mention what I’d seen. I felt like the constant hugs etc had more to do with his guilt than wanting to properly comfort me. During the talk about the funeral he kept mentioning that he had wedding plans coming up so make sure the funeral wasn’t on that day.

I assume he told her the sordid details of his dream and obviously knows how inappropriate that is - else why delete. But to do it while I am organising my father’s funeral has really hurt me , I can’t bear to look at him. It feels like cheating but is it ? I don’t know. :/

I completely agree with the poster who said that the sex dream never happened, he's using that to initiate a conversation about sex, or to gauge her reaction.

It's pretty grim in itself, but to think your father has just died, well I'd consider that to be unforgivable.

I wouldn't do anything just yet, because I think it's not quite bad enough yet - well it is, but I think he might be able to squirm his way out of this. I'd keep watching and see how far he's willing to go.

Thankyou for your replies again, sorry I haven’t got round to them all!

The conversation went on to why don’t they talk anymore - which she blamed on me, she said it was awkward because I don’t like her. My oh asked why she thought that but also changed the subject onto something boring.
She asked if he was going to be around near Christmas, (we actually bumped into her last Christmas Eve, for anyone suspicious it really was an accident! Lol)
Oh, and he did ask about her boyfriend, but we did sort of know the guy through other friends. They have split up. She said he wasn’t very nice. My oh said ‘well fuck that guy’

He said he wanted to stay at home for Christmas via text. But he did ask me last night whether we were going to head up to his parents (near where she lives) at all. Knowing what I do I said no lol. Not that I want to anyway.

The conversation has been left with him giving her his number - not that unusual as she did have it before but has changed phones. She didn’t give hers back - but I CANT READ THE TEXTS. So I have no idea if there’s a conversation going on via text, or if there is and it’s being deleted.

Was going to have a snoop last night as he left his phone on the bed and went for a shower. And he does seem a bit cagey about his phone, but I have also been organising dads funeral and dealing with family dramas about that so part of me just thinks ahh fuck it.

I mentioned I wanted to see a Christmas light switch on that my friends are holding, and I said I didn’t mind if he came with or not (to see if he wanted time alone 🕵🏼‍♂️ But he didn’t seem fussed.)

I agree with the poster above. Yeah this is a really dickish thing to do, especially given what else is going on. But it hasn’t crossed a viable line to end it. I would accept an apology if I confronted about it.

But if it went further - ie, meeting up, a message that specifically said ‘I fancy you’ or I wish my actual missus would fuck off. If he bitched about me for example. But it was quite an anticlimax.

Anyway, I’m rambling. Thankyou for all your support. X

How are you feeling today carrot?

It must be so frustrating not being able to read the rest of the texts Flowers
