I’ve seen a fair few threads like this but wanted to put my own personal story across. Any feedback is appreciated.
The friend in question is an old school friend. We haven’t met for around 15 years. We have eachother on social media and occasionally bump into eachother and chat then, but that’s all really. Haven’t fallen out or anything like that, life just happened I guess.
The other week my husband came home and said this friend had been messaging him. Her friend was married to one of my husbands former friends. They’ve recently broke up and she was asking him all kinds of questions about his former friend. A lot of voice messages, 5/6 minutes long. I thought it was a bit strange as they barely knew eachother but didn’t think too much about it.
A few days later my husband put some post up about going to the gym and she private messaged him about it. Just randomly started talking about how she’d just started, how much weight she’d lost, her muscle gains etc. She was rabbiting on, One message was ten paragraphs long. My husband showed me the messages. He was being polite, answering any questions or replying, but keeping it short.
I just thought this was really odd. No message to me saying she’d been asking my husband a few gym questions, or about his former friend. And like I said previously they barely knew eachother. I think he’s maybe bumped into her with me maybe 2/3 times.
Anyway am I reading too much into this and it’s just a coincidence that my husband has known about the two subjects she’s been asking about? Or is there maybe more too it? He said since they started chatting she likes a lot of his posts relating to the gym. But again, maybe just a mutual hobby and I’m looking too much into it. Me personally, I would have messaged my friend, and asked if she minded me asking her husband a few questions. But that’s just me.
