Am I overreacting to my boyfriends co-worker?

Not wrong at all. He’s being dishonest and hiding things from you or he wouldn’t be so defensive. No excuse for it.

It’s not even worth fighting. You have a little one and needs you. It’s just best to walk away. Ik it’s easier said then done. I’ve been there. It’s like you have this gut feeling and it ends up being true. I would want to rip both their heads off but you have to remember your little one. Hey there is always someone out there that will appreciate you.

He’s just the “chosen” one right now. Once she gets him…hook, line, and sinker…he’s just another in her book. I wouldn’t approach her at all. Neither of them are worth your breath. Your gut is telling you already what the deal is. Put some Nair in his shampoo and leave. NO man is worth the headache.

Trust yourself and your intuition. If he waited a few days to let you scroll, it meant he needed time to edit.

If he had nothing to hide, and it was all strictly business, he never would have lied about any of it.

She may be a home wrecker, but remember he is the one responsible for his relationship, not her. This is on him.

He can man up and be straight with you. Then you can decide how to proceed.

Sounds like you got an unfaithful on your hands. I’m sorry that happened to you. I’d be ending the "you can’t look through my phone’ rule. You have the right at this point! If he hasn’t gotten rid of the evidence, yet, that is…

Confront face to face with your feelings. Tell him you are leaving with the little one if he doesn’t get a new phone number and delete her’s. If it really is just a work thing he’ll do as you ask. If not then leave. He’s already ruining your trust in him.

Kinda sounds like the movie Obsessed with Beyoncé. Trust your gut and get out when you can

I will never understand why people in relationships feel like they need to forbid the other from doing something. They should already respect you enough that you trust them to protect your relationship above all else. And if there isn’t that trust, there is no relationship.

If that was my husband some town bike was zoning in on I woudnt say anything more to him I would go straight to her and put her in her place plus I would also report her behaviour to the hr department …

Girl, pack and leave.
He can’t respect you not being ok with it and doing a simple thing as to not talk to her unless it’s work and only work related then. He don’t deserve your time. Actions speak louder than words. Just leave.

The one the cheater is with doesn’t implode the marriage, the cheater does. The one your with made the commitment to you, not the one they cheated with. If you’re having doubts about your man then you need to discuss it further with him. Marriage counseling if it’s that bad

Go to HR there is definitely some stuff being violated here, especially let them know her photos are being shared around the company in a sexual manner. She is definitely a guilty party seeking attention from married men though, get her number and have a talk with her and let her know you’ve heard if her reputation and are not comfortable with her constant messages with your husband. Block her number from phones etc unless she is a manager there is zero reason for her to know if or when your husband is showing up to work etc.

Get rid of him… he’s already been lying to you and I guarantee he’s been lying AND hiding so much more… there is no reason for them both to have each other’s personal phone numbers. If he is going to put himself in danger of losing his family over a hoe, kick him to the curb. You don’t need any of us to tell you what you need to do. You already know, straight up

You have every right to be mad at him no biz texting him for a wake up call and blah blah blah what so ever I’d slap a hoe and my boyfriend then I’d tell him to tell her to beat it and if he doesn’t and u find out something else tell him to beat it his loss

There are a few saying go to her I mean to a point sure make it known your who he’s with but it’s mainly with your man. Cause no matter how hard a woman tries if your man only wants you he won’t give her the time of day. I don’t mind friends but there’s friends then there’s too friendly but knowing she’s just a whore (yup I said it) I think you were right in telling him like ummm nope that’s not ok. I think that you should tell him one last time very clearly this isn’t ok you talking to her this much and her being at or around our home is not ok and stand your ground! I told my man right off rip day we decided to be together if there’s any other woman your even thinking about just tell me and I’ll leave. Clearly I mean in a romantic or sexual way. I don’t play this well I like her but I love you bs like nahh none of that bull nonsense for me. If there’s another woman on your mind at all it’s time for me to go. To be fair I’ve been cheated on too much for me to tolerate the want to talk to another woman in that way.

Throw those last words at him. Ask him how he would feel if the texts were to you from a guy whore at work. If he says he would not flip out, GET OUT. HE BE LIEING.

He fucking that hoe. Or he bout too!! Leave … & Him not letting you scroll through his phone. Talking bout you were too mad. Just gave him time to delete shit he didn’t want you to see.

How do I write a question?

You and your child deserve commitment and respect… sorry but he needs his walking ticket…cheater😡

You are absolutely right! Same thing happened to me end of 2017 , the company bicycle got my ex husband after they texted for weeks and him working overtime ( sarcasm off) he told me 2 days after 4 .anniversary he would leave and I knew exactly why but he didn’t admit. 2 years later he told me all the truth when he was on the ground. You should kick him out and make him pay . Every company has a “ bicycle “. When the trust is gone it’s over.

I feel like most people know the answer before posting on here, and just want some validation that they are making the right decision.
This is no different. Trust your instincts. I really feel for you and I am so sorry you are going through this.
Trust is a very difficult thing to get back once it’s been broken. I absolutely do not think you are overreacting.
Honestly, if he didn’t let you read the texts for a few days, he most likely deleted what he didn’t want you to see. If he had nothing to hide, he would have let you read them right away to put your mind at ease.

Married for 14 years here… my husband gives me full access to his phone anytime… I know his password and can access his phone at any time. He does not message any females without adding me to the chat out of respect for me and to avoid any rumors of impropriety… if you cannot trust the one you’re with… they’re not the one darling. Run. And never look back. <3 I’m here if you need someone to talk to with zero judgement.

Trust is a big thing, if you have lost trust for your long term boyfriend then that’s something that needs to be addressed. Theres a reason for that! Always trust your gut feeling! I’m not the person to say “omg! Leave his ass!” Because if I was in the same situation I would be as confused as you.
I’ve been married to my man for 9 years now, there are no secrets, no texts between anyone we don’t talk about… after 3 kids you need to find something to talk about lol. If he is talking to a female other than me there’s a reason behind it!..
If I asked to see messages there would be no argument or days gone by… he would simply hand over his phone as would I. The fact that he waited days for you to see the messages worries me. This is your relationship, no one knows your relationship like you do. If you feel something is wrong than most likely it is. You can message me anytime you want! I’m here for you! Us girls have to stick together!! :heart:

Love is unconditional and trust is part of it. If you love him you must trust him unless you have proof of wrong doing.

Sounds like he’s up to no good. Some men have little egos and the first heifer that gives them one ounce of attention can throw them off. If you decide to leave him, don’t tell him. Plan your departure strategically. We women talk too much. Telling the man everything that we’re planning on doing. Just do it. No one tells the enemy in a battle what time they plan on attacking.

Yup they have a relationship in the making. A bikini picture :woman_facepalming: couldn’t make it more obvious. Cheating with this technological age yeah he’s already doing it, having personal conversations with someone who’s not his partner yeah cheating. Look make very clear that you’re losing trust in him due to the lack of communication. Is he still happy with your relationship going forward or does he need a side fling because he has gotten comfortable with you and his family that’s it’s boring :thinking: communicate and if he refuses what more of an answer so you really need, his actions are verbalizing everything you need to know.

There’s nothing wrong with having work acquaintances and polite chit chat but there’s a line. They’ve both well crossed it.

He very likely has found friendship in a unlikely place, he is just sharing with you his work drama. Sounds like you may be over reacting. What you really need to be worrying about is how he is acting towards you and your child. Does he seem distant? Has he cheated on you before? Was he a player before you got with him?

When a significant other is doing something that makes the other person feel upset or uneasy, then he needs to stop doing it period! He knows his “relationship” with this woman is making you feel insecure and upset and is continuing to text and receive texts from her and defends her, not you. That in itself is a huge red flag! You should ALWAYS be his #1 priority! The fact that he won’t let you see his text messages says it all! Don’t let anyone treat you that way!

Trust is a thing you have in a relationship in the beginning and should go to the end. Loosing that trust takes a long time to get back, now saying that, trust him until you see different. There is no papers only a child and think of the child. The more you goat him, the more he will go to her, because if he loved you he will not hurt you because it hurts him. Don’t trust her, trust him.

I mean i totally get being upset i would be too but at the same this says u dont trust him and u may have reason not too but honestly u cant make anyone stay or be faithful to u. If he wants to hes gonna do somrthing about it and if u find out he has my advice would be to leave but of course that is easier said than done

I wouldn’t know what to do either & be pretty concerned as well… i’m just sorry youre going through this

He knows she a home wrecker so ud avoid making friendships with someone like that. Uve got every right to feel the way u do knowing what she’s like. And if he’s nothing to hide then he should just show u the messages that he won’t let u scroll through

If you guys were married I might have a different answer but I say throw him out and say see ya! If he was really committed to his family you would have ring and date

Some men just enjoying playing in with dirt he knows who she is n he still entertaining her he must like her gal move on cz sooner or later they will sex each other up u deserve a man not a boy who does not respect u there’s no love without trust let him go.

Be honest about your feeling to him, tell him that she and you Boyfriend already succeeded to have mistrust for one another! Tell him this uncomfy situation is ending now!!! Find a solution like who leaves the home e.c.t

Only if he’s working with the CIA if FBI then don’t ask too many questions but this sounds like you need to go see your family who definitely cares about u. Especially momma n daddy. +plus. Go away from this agagthy and be at peace my sister. I’m way over 50 and too much is probably the truth of how your feeling so be strong be big and be encouraging and ask God for the right words and walk away in peace and if he if any way cares he’ll appreciate a strong woman but don’t go back or say much until he realizes how worthy I are. I promise if he doesn’t then thank the Lord you finally know he isn’t the right one. But still forgive ok ???

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, TRUST YOUR GUT! I knew every time my man stepped out (it’s been a few times). I’m a very decent LADY and very cognizant of any relationship and changes therein.

Communication has always been important to me and I will ask questions when I feel a change.

Long story short, when you feel something brewing (if you are attuned to your man, you’ll know), try to talk to him about it, as long as you can deal with it, BUT start preparing to make your move. Don’t waste too much time. It’s stressful and nobody needs that head or heart ache.
One time, it took me a good year to purchase everything I was gonna need (he can have whatever we accumulated together, I don’t wanna hear nothing about me taking nothing), put it in storage, started looking for a job out of the state and when I was through talking and hurting, with a new job, I was gone, very comfortable and stress-free.

DON’T PLAY!

I feel like he thinks he’s putting up boundaries with her especially if nothing physical is happening , but lines were crossed if you ask me.

If you want to find a real man, go to church. Do life the way God meant for you to. You messed up by living with him and having his child out if wedlock. Do it God’s way. It’s the best way in the long run.

Let it simmer down. In a couple of weeks, if you need “irrefutable proof” log into your wireless carrier and view all messages, pics and calls online. Then…pick up your bags that you packed prior to doing this and close the door behind you. Good luck. :kissing_heart:

You are not wrong. He needs to go. I have been there, done that with an ex and he was doing everything I thought he was. Do not let him keep this up

So sorry. Yes unless you boy friend chooses to put you and your family with him first you will have to leave. Please prepare yourself financially and have that very serious conversation. Get marriage counseling If he refuses to put you and your family first you have to leave. Life is too short for you to live with someone you cannot trust

Also its the men going with her that have broken a commitment, not her, get it straight.

Given the opportunity, too many men will cheat if they think they can get away with it. I’ve worked with guys who, in conversation, admitted they cheated and their wives had no idea. The fact that they’ve been together so long, have a kid, and she’s still just his girlfriend, says a whole lot.

Tell him he has to change jobs and cut all contact with her! Then see what happens first before breaking up your family

Sound like he was deleting the totes before u could read them, there’s no need for a bikini pic in his phone, if he didn’t ask for it he should of deleted it. I’m sorry to say this but all sounds abit suss to me. I hope I’m wrong but yeah if it was me, I wound be believe his story x

He could quite easily have shut her down and kept it to work stuff, but apparently he hasn’t. I would guess that the attention stoked his ego.
