Dp slipped up so he says and told his colleagues we're expecting another baby, small age gap so it's been a shock for us both.

Anyway, he had a few messages via WhatsApp congratulations and what not. He handed me the phone to read one from a mutual friend and in the process I saw one from a female colleague saying congratulations but followed by: bet that's a good year of no sex for you then and the emoji smirking smiley face. I was a bit hmm, he's not particularly close to her or anything and I'm not worried about anything else going on but it's not really appropriate is it?
But his reply was: I know right 😫. Which I'm more annoyed about. He said he took it as her joking about me getting pregnant so soon and replied in a jokey, Yep there's no chance she'll let me near her again way.

I don't actually know what I'd expect him to reply if I'm honest but I just feel like what he put is a bit disrespectful. But I'm pregnant and my hormones are crazy so don't know if I'm overreacting.
If I was one of his mates I wouldn't mind as they know us and I'd know it was said jokingly.

I think she definitely does @SchrodingersBrexit. When he says he was coming home last night she made a big deal of firstly trying to get him to stay and then making a big deal of him coming home because I'd told him to. I hadn't and he said I hadn't, he wanted to come home. One of his work mates messaged him and said after he'd gone she was still saying to others, do you think notready doesn't like him being out, kind of thing.

It's so weird he's been working there more than a year and he doesn't really have much to do with her, so god knows why she's suddenly so interested in him. His mate joked that she does the wages and knows he earns the most.

@NotReadyForThisX2 How embarrassing that she said that to his colleagues Shock It feels like a strange level of interest to have in your home life. The commenting on family photos is weird, IMO.

I think it's a challenge for women like this. They want to see if they can attract a man away from their SO's.

It's weird isn't it @SchrodingersBrexit and I just don't get it. I can't think of many turn offs bigger than someone being attached and willing to cheat.
Anyway, I'm not concerned now and actually I'm just finding it quite funny. Even if Dp was single she's so not his type at all. Maybe that's what it is, she's attractive in quite a obvious way (I don't mean that nastily at all) but I imagine she gets attention even from the younger men. So maybe she sees Dp as a challenge as he doesn't flirt or anything with her.
Tbf, Dp doesn't flirt with anyone. Took more than a year of us being friends for me to find out he'd fancied me from the first day we met 😂

Yes, there's only one thing less attractive than someone in a relationship and that's someone who is willing to cheat!

Women like that are just terrible people.

Glad you are feeling better about it all Smile

My DH and his mates make stupid comments like this all the time. I couldn't give two hoots it's just Male banter.
