Partner has a "conquests" list

Please bear with this as it's quite long, and I don't know how I feel about it.
So DP and I have been together for 6 years, both have children from previous but none together. We work for the same company, him in the office and I WFH. Let's call him John.
Last week our computer systems were updated and I had to take the laptop in so it could be connected to the cloud (I don't really know what that means or entails but I just know I can still get onto work stuff from home).
When I got home, I could see the files on the system were updating but there was a list of documents that had already gone over on the file explorer tab.
One of these files was simply titled "conquests".
We all know what that means, but why we would have a word document titled that was beyond me. So I opened it.
The title of the first page was "John's Conquests".
It was at this point I realised my partner had got a word document on the work system documenting every single woman he had ever had even the slightest moment with. Numbered in chronological order, names and a brief description of the relationship or encounter all there to see.
Luckily for me, it seems the last entry was 10 years ago, I don't really want to know what write up I'd get!

So now I'm confused and don't know what to think. I feel disgusted that someone would even consider writing a sexual summary, let alone someone I share my life with. But at the same time, it was last updated a long time ago.
He doesn't know I've seen this but it's been playing on my mind and just need to know if I'm going mad or it's a genuinely bad thing.

I'm going to go against the grain here. I have a similar document. But it's all past relationships, no sexual information included but a brief description of the relationship. I did this for therapy reasons as I've been in counselling for abusive relationships and I was exploring my own history.

Why do you think the documents is 10 years old? Isn't it more likely he just stopped making notes at that point? Was he working for the company 10 years ago? It sounds like it's something he did at work instead of doing his job.

determinedtomakethiswork · 18/04/2024 08:56

And he is very dim if he didn't password protect it!

You said it yourself. "Well within time to stop being an immature creep."
He stopped didnt he?

Within time was about 15-20 yrs earlier, not at nearly 40.

Notable youve totally ignored him leaning it on a work drive ..... Who wants to throw their lot in with someone who might lose their job because they're so stupid & inappropriate.

I can’t believe how casual some of you are about it being on a work computer. In my organisation it would be gross misconduct and you’d be out on your ear. What possible justification would a person have for that?

grinandslothit · 18/04/2024 13:19

It's pretty grim. At age 37 and not 20 and also kept on a work computer.

I hope now at least he sees women as human

EBearhug · 18/04/2024 13:29

I wouldn't be bothered by the existence of a list - I have a list, though I certainly wouldn't call it conquests, and I am feeling I've let myself down by not recording full notes and measurements (though I could probably reconstruct something from my diaries and memories, if not measurements. )

Is it really on a work device though? Because that's a daft thing to do. In the past (as a sys admin,) I've had to go through devices to get evidence for HR because of inappropriate use of work equipment. There should always be a clear separation of duties between work and personal devices, especially if the personal stuff is anything to do with sex and relationships.

Hahaha
sorry but I find this funny. I have a list! Maybe you're disgusted at the number? I couldn't remember all of mine without a list 😆

On my phone! Not on my work computer, I'm not a total dingbat (like OP's DH)

Update

Chucked him out yesterday after finding messages on his phone between him and one of our clients....in short, trying to get in her knickers.
He then had the audacity to say he only did it because he didn't like my kids and he felt unhappy.
Bye hun!

Well, that escalated quickly. 😮

Sorry he was a cheating arse to boot. Sounds like you and your dc will be better off without him.

Be kind to yourself. 💐

How twee

🥴😂

coxesorangepippin · 22/04/2024 14:43

Sorry that was in response to the original post

Sounds like you made the right decision op

Bumblebeeinatree · 22/04/2024 14:47

How old was he 10 years ago? It sounds like a school boy. I'm surprised he's managed to keep it that long no cloud back up back then. Does he know it still exists? A bit dangerous keeping it on a works pc.
