Infuriating Things Your Partner Does

Don’t think it’s so much about trust, they’re just nosy and want to know the far end of a fart. If I so much as snigger whilst looking at my phone, she wants to know what I’m laughing at 

Asking your partner what they're laughing at on their phone when you are both awake and sitting together is fairly normal behaviour. Waiting for your partner to go to sleep so that you can sneakily have a swatch at all of their whatsapp messages is not normal behaviour and absolutely shows a lack of trust. Interested to know what her justification was for that, but no matter what it is her behaviour is still worthy of ending up with a bruised pie.

That can be hit and miss for me. My wife and I are both amused by incredibly childish things.

In her defence, I'm suspicious of Throbber and I've never met him.

Never say never, KB. (Although I suppose you're relatively young so can afford to be a bit choosy.)

I used to think so, but I'm rapidly approaching 40....

Women just aren't funny.

The shit they think is funny isn't.

They don't get out humour also.

I am fucking seething at Mrs Throbber. Seething.

A lassie my girlfriend is friends with is the most psycho girl I know.  Since I've known her she hasn't had a regular boyfriend, however does go on regular dates, and would investigate each of her Tinder catches on Facebook, find out about their exes, why they split, grill him on the date etc... 

In addition to doing this, she regularly messages her ex-fiancee calling him all the b******s, basically stalks his new girlfriend and generally acts mental.  My stomach always drops when I find out she is going on a date with another poor, unsuspecting bloke.

EDIT:  She would regularly go through her ex-partner's phone.  Saw it as her right.  If he had nothing to hide he had nothing to fear...

I’ve been going out with my girlfriend for over 7 years, but if I woke up to find her searching through my phone whilst I slept she’d be getting the boot. Absolute headcase behaviour, and only a few steps away from having to sleep with 1 eye open.

I handed my ex my phone once to call us a taxi and Instantly realised the mistake when she went to look for a taxi number online and was greeted by the porn website I was using hours before I met her that night.

I know, it’s really not good from her and pretty out of character so f**k knows what was going on in her head. I speak to a shit load of people on what’s app and Facebook etc, mostly utter shit and sharing gifs and videos etc which isn’t an unusual thing really but you feel violated when someone helps themselves and goes through your messages as you can easily get paranoid about stuff being there that you don’t want your Mrs to see.

 

Have you checked her phone? Some of the stuff she texts me is disgusting.

Mine looked at my phone once. Flew off the handle about a text that, if she had actually paid any attention, she would have seen was a joke. She has never looked again. I think she got the message that its not acceptable behaviour.

It really fucking isnt and if it ever happened again we would be on the rocks. Complete and utter betrayal of trust.

How did that get there?

Just be glad she’s got the clothes on in those photos! (Sorry throbs) (and when you finally get to reading this, f**k you mrs throbs!)

Did that work in reverse?

I'd never dream of going through my wife's phone. I don't even like answering it if she has left it lying whenever she goes out of the room, usually because I manage to knock it off rather than answer it. So I probably wouldn't be able to go through her phone anyway!

My wife hates phoning people.  Our car needs a service so we need to book it in with the mechanic who is pals with her Dad.  

So instead of her phoning and booking a date that suits her (it's mainly her car and she is part time  but picking up bank shifts so her working week is random currently) I have to phone up and hopefully get a date and time that works. 

No doubt when I get the wrong date I'll need to phone up to change it and the process will repeat until April.

It’s all kicked off down in the borders a few days ago, with a woman doing exactly this and finding disgusting videos of him and another woman. She did the decent thing of course and posted them on the local FB page causing an absolute shitstorm.

Another phone related issue.  A few weeks ago some guy came to our door claiming to be working on roofs round about and offered to give us a quote.  He looked dodgy so she rightly said that she knew nothing about it and said he'd need to see her husband.

He asked for my number and she only went and gave him it.  Next thing you know I'm at work getting bombarded with calls which I ignored as I was busy.  Came home and complained about having all these missed calls from random mobile numbers to which she then told the story.

"Could you not have given them a fake number?"

"I couldn't think of any"

 

Or alternatively (and surely the correct thing to do) tell him you don’t want any roofing, and to please f**k off.

My girlfriend is the exact same with phoning. Refuses to call a takeaway, constantly trying to go down any possible route to avoid it, even willing to order something she doesn’t actually want as long as they have an online ordering service rather than phone the place she does want. Baffling.

My mate showed me them videos the other day and they’re grim, very grim.

Also, with regards to Mrs Throbber’s phone snooping, she needs a size 9 in the hole. There would be serious words in the Monkman household if that sort of behaviour went on.
