I feel like a line has been crossed in my relationship

My husband has and all his co workers females and all text and call during and after work …its part of his job .even when he’s taking a day off they call to get info only he would know…its no biggie to me I know he’s faithful…you have to have Trust in a relationship for it to work

Girl you are 100% overreacting imho

You are making a big deal over nothing. Don’t add to drama he already has. Don’t try to control or change his boss lady. If you do you are only causing trouble for yourself.

You are insecure. And thats okay. But personally I think you may have went a bit or honestly alot overboard. I feel like you might be making something a bigger deal than it is

Im not sure if you realise this, but guys and girls can be friends without either of them wanting to be more… you said it yourself, you’re not threatened by her, she has a fiance…let it go. My husband was working in a store where he was the only male and he had every person’s number…shift swaps, issues they could help each other with, general bitch about work… either trust him or don’t

Wow so many jerks dumping on you. Clearly he’s giving you a reason to question his motives. I think you should tell him that when he comes home from work, to have a time frame of who has access to him. Sure his Co worker is young so 10pm is still early. But he should give her a time limit. Set boundaries. His behavior towards you is changing and it’s cause for concern. I hope you really communicate all of this to him. He needs to understand his behavior towards you. Good luck!

You might be reading into this too much. Sounds like you are insecure and projecting it onto him.

You are definitely overreacting. You obviously don’t trust him. If you want your relationship to be successful you need to have trust until you’re given reason not to trust. The guy has done nothing wrong, neither has his work mate. You need to relax before you ruin your relationship.

I feel like if he told you it would of started an argument based on your reaction here and you being heated. You shouldnt control your husband. If he is faithful its no big deal. I would suggest some therapy for you to find out why you have to be so overpowering of everything in his life and also your insecurities. There are much worse things in the world than not telling you he has a coworkers number. There is literally a war going on. Be close to your family, friends and loved ones. Let little things go. Trust him or leave him. No need for both of you to be miserable.

Listen. If he brings her up more than once first. That means she’s on his mind. Probably a work crush. Ask him. Doesn’t mean he’s gonna act on it the issue is they are communicating if he has a crush on any one he needs to cut them off that’s where affairs start.

I’ve had this happen 3 times now not the affair thing but if you catch this stuff early and you set boundaries it will protect y’all.

You sounds anxious. Anxiety can play a huge role in your feelings about it. If he willingly let’s you snoop and you find nothing and it’s all work related you have nothing to worry about. I would suggest seeking therapy to resolve your issues and learning good skills on dealing with your anxiety

This is coming down to your own insecurities. There are many females in the world your husband may have to interact with some of them from time to time.

My husband is a nurse…most coworkers in his unit at the hospital are females. They all have each other’s numbers, and call or text well after work. Just to discuss whatever. I honestly do not care. But then again, I’ve heard him talk about them, mention them, or I have even met and hung out with most of them myself. And this is coming from someone who by nature can let insecurities get the best of her😒…you need to trust him and not think so much of it. If you say you know him and have no worries, then why be worried? Make it make sense🤷🏽‍♀️.

You’re 37 but act 16. It’s that or you’re extremely insecure. You need to work on those insecurities and grow up. He’s a grown man with a job. If he can’t speak to coworkers without you acting up then that’s sad. It’s work, it’s a job, it’s good he has one. I’d be afraid to tell you as well with how you behave. That relationship will be doomed if you don’t grow up and work in the insecurities you’re taking out on him. That high school drama at his job is nothing next to how you’re acting. You’re a grown woman, do better for yourself and your relationship. I have made coworkers and if I was ever told they couldn’t talk to me because of another’s insecurities then I’d open that door and let them out before they threw anymore of those on me. I’m guessing you don’t believe in opposite sex friends as well. If you continue this then I hope he leaves and does better for himself. You have no right to control anyone but yourself.

Before anyone talks about my relationship I’ve been with him for 5 years if he was gonna leave he works have already. I feel like it’s my business who my man is friends with like he knows who I am friends with. He knows who I talk to and vise versa. You all need to leave her alone. You don’t know her past or why she’s like this. Could be an abuse survivor. She could have been cheated on a lot, lied too, men could have been cruel to her and it’s messed her up. I am not afraid to say I do have insecurities and they show a lot in my relationship. If he wants to leave he knows where the door is

From your post, what i was able to get from it is…
He’s starting a new job. Those first few weeks of training depending on the job are brutal! There’s soooo much info going in that you’re expected to retain. At night getting home is “processing” all that info. I can see how giving her his # could have really been something he didn’t even think about.
When I’ve trained, I’ve given out my # as “if you have any questions, please reach out to me” because at the end of the day I’m responsible for the person I am training and I’m responsible of making sure they understand, feel comfortable to perform heir job duties, etc.
I have to keep tabs on my guys on hours worked because we generate reports based on hours worked to ensure we’re not overworking them. So I can also see it from her perspective as a manager. Especially if it’s all work related. From what you’re saying, it’s all been work related.
It’s a rough transition starting a new place. Let him acclimate. Don’t add to his already heavy burden

Girl you are okay. It completely understandable when it comes to your relationship. Everyone reacts to things differently then you would yourself. But let’s try not to let little things like that come in between you and your man. Yes your not gonna like it but you can’t show beauty to bitch in seconds. You’ve voiced your opinion if it continues then do something about it. My inbox is open. Feel free to qss. Your not alone

Yea. You are overreacting about most of this, but her texting at 10:30 Pm caring if he worked a double is weird.

I honestly do understand how uncomfortable it is when your significant other is inappropriately close to female coworkers.

My ex had really weird relationships with all his female coworkers, and they would flirt and hangout and talk all the time outside of work, and he would always say how hot they were.

The guy I’m with now even has this secretary who they would send heart and kissy faces to each other in texts, and just extremely uncomfortable texts about dreams she had of them together. Just really inappropriate for work. When I asked him to stop texting her in that way, he just told me that he’s known her longer than me and he wasn’t going to change the way he talks lmao.

So basically, not trying to be rude, but you are extremely lucky you have a guy who is straight up with you, doesn’t engage in any inappropriate behavior outside of work, and is a good guy.

As long as he’s not engaging in anything back, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Leave it alone… u sound like you are a little jealous… if it’s work then leave it alone … just let him know to remember to tell u… my husband and I are the same… however I don’t get mad about him adding a co worker into his phone on work cases and forgets about to tell me… it’s called trust…

There’s no reason to have to tell each other every single little thing and there’s no reason to have to make rules about who can and cannot have his number. It’s weird to block or delete people from your (her or whoever the OP is) life as well just “out of respect.” Respect for what? Lol just say not interested if if you’re being hit on but you don’t have to be extreme and block or delete people. Definitely not emotionally mature.

I wouldn’t be too concerned right now, but I would voice it to your husband more about hiw it makes you uncomfortable.

It’s not him she’s worried about. It’s her. I know the kind of supervisor he has, been there done that. With men supervisors messaging me like this, to the point I would respond saying “thanks, I have it” (meaning schedule) & end it there. I did this bc there’s been too many to little by little, start off like this, then furthermore start randomly messaging to vent to me, see how my day’s going etc. It has literally ALWAYS ended up being that way with men, as my bosses.
SO THAT BEING SAID- SHE ISNT BEING TOXIC. HER INTUITION IS SHOWING HER WHAT THIS WOMAN WILL BECOME. ESP BEING A 23 YR OLD IMMATURE G.I.R.L! :tipping_hand_woman:t2::roll_eyes:

She is older, with more wisdom and more mature and loyal than anyone just calling her toxic and jealous. She knows what she brings to the table and the boundaries she is comfortable with. Doesn’t mean she’s toxic. It’s NOT normal or professional to have your boss message you at 10:30pm, unless you work nights or have a bar/restaurant etc kind of job.

This day and age people act like it’s totally normal for your boss to cross boundaries and it should just be accepted or else your TOXIC. :yawning_face::yawning_face:

Plus, as she said, it’s the principal of “I didn’t tell you bc you’d be mad”— not the fact that his boss and he had to exchange s. If you don’t see or comprehend what that means, or you think it’s okay to hide things bc ur partner would be mad- then you won’t understand this woman’s p.o.v.

My husband would never, so I’m not even looking at it that way---- but since I’ve been in her man’s shoes when it comes to my previous bosses, it’s 100% justified to be bothered by this shit. I’ve never not told my husband when a boss acted this way and he’s never been mad, bc I’ve been honest. But as a woman who sees the unprofessionalism and whose also seen it grow into some bullshit- THE SHIT HIS BOSS IS PULLING ISNT CUTE. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE 23 YR OLD NEW SUPERVISOR IS TRYING TO BE. I was one of those “I’m just going to be nice and put up with it for the sake of my job” women- & it’s ended in sexual harassment more than once. SO - NOW I make it clear that I don’t do all that or go for that.

If she’s not his boss or anything, why is she texting him? If it is clearly work related, I wouldn’t worry about it unless you have a real reason

I think what you’re most uncomfortable with is that his job not only requires 60 hrs weekly of him, but it doesn’t stay at work. You seem to like firm bounds between home and work. Since his new job is demanding more of his time, you’re losing time with him.

I’m unclear why he’s still there, but I only have your side of the story.

From your account, you resent him spending so much time and energy (dealing with the gossip) for this job. I suspect there’s more to this? Maybe you’re feeling a little abandoned for a seemingly toxic and meaningless job? You two definitely need to talk, but be sure to discuss the problem, not the symptom. This woman texting him is merely one symptom.

The fact he hid it is worrying you and that’s not fair. Yeah maybe you are reading too much into this, maybe not but you know him better than we do and it’s concerning to you. Before I owned my business I didn’t tolerate anyone from work texting me after 7, neither does my husband so that’s a bit off. Does he directly work with her or just for training? What kind of emergencies would she need his number for if I’m sure the supervisors have his number? Try setting some positive boundaries and explaining your side without getting angry. Calmly explain which things he did bothered you and what you don’t mind, then come to an agreement. Best of luck :two_hearts:

She’s trying to strike up a dialogue with him to get something started. Follow your intuition. Put a stop to it immediately or this bossy girl will push her way into his life. Sometimes men are clueless to the sneaky plans of women.

I wouldn’t be okay with my partner micromanaging who I talk to or text. That would be exhausting. It would also imply they do not trust me. Sounds like you need to have a conversation and figure out why he felt you were going to react poorly to him adding a co-worker’s number.

The texting him late at night is a little off putting for sure but if nothing inappropriate has been said then seems best not to jump to conclusions. Your expectations might be pushing him away because it sounds like you are smothering him and do not trust him.
