Why has he not mentioned her?

My boyfriend and his friends play Fortnite. They met some others online on who also play with them. I recently found out there is a woman who plays on there with them. She knows one of the guys in real life as one of my boyfriend's friends tagged them all in a gaming post about the game they played. It seems like this woman is a regular to their game. Why would he not mention this woman but mentions everyone else? I saw her photo and she is attractive. I just don't see what the secret is and he knows I trust him.

You’ve probably got school in the morning so you should get some sleep.

He wouldn’t mention her as she is just someone he plays a game with online

My son used to be good at that when he was 14, hasn't played it for a few years now he's grown up.
Do you trust him enough to not stalk his SM, and also hers? Seems he suspects how far you trust him as he doesn't want to rock the boat by mentioning her.

😂😂😂

Maybe because he's friends with the others but she's just somebody they play with?

Probably some last minute GCSE revision for the exam tomorrow.

Really? Oh.
I guess some adults just don’t mature.
You. Not him.

They are in their 40s and 50s.

Alright I’ll bite, what’s going on that he needs to always mention if he in any way has contact with another female. I couldn’t give two shiny shits what gender the folks are my husband online games with, why is it an issue to you. Do you feel gaming is a gateway to shagging?

monsteramunch · 16/05/2023 17:14

I know this sounds simplistic but... why not ask him? He probably just hasn't had a reason to mention her. Unless he's an arsehole and you think he's being sneaky. In which case you've got a bigger underlying problem!

myBumJuiceSmellsLikeRoses · 16/05/2023 17:57

Your last few words... "he knows I trust him"

So if you trust him, there's no issue.

Well clearly you don't, or you wouldn't be posting this.

perfectcolourfound · 16/05/2023 20:09

He shouldn't have to declare who he's playing with online, surely.

As you said, you trust him, so there's no issue.

VirgoQueen · 16/05/2023 21:28

Because he's a lads lad and she is irelevant to him. When guys are gaming, their focus is just the game

TeaKitten · 16/05/2023 21:30

Does he really mention every single other player?

SkiingIsHeaven · 16/05/2023 22:26

Probably because it's clear that you don't trust him and he couldn't be bothered with the agro.
