It's drama I would walk away from.
The significance, I thought, was obvious - it could literally be someone stirring carp for their own gains. If it was his phone then you could atleast deduce that he was present at the time. But I could text anyone and claim something from my own phone with not a shred of evidence.
Frankly people have baggage, that's what happens as we grow up.0 -
I agree with you But I would want to date somebody that didn't attract this sort of situation.2017- 5 credit cards plus loan

That's fine and totally your decision.
Let's hypothetically say you start dating some and they receive the text message - a simple wrong number- how would you feel then?0 -
I also undrstand your point of view if you would want to date him
I had assumed the text referenced his name rather than "my boyfriend".
What I would do is forward/reply To said text and write "i will leave you to it".
Then he can either try to provide explanation or go back to his angry girlfriend.
It would have to be one hell of a good explanation to make anything happen after this and I think it is very unlikely that we would meet again. I imagine I would ignore any further texts expect to request no further contact.2017- 5 credit cards plus loan

Females. my friends is confused, so I thought would ask if anybody has had this experience before.
She has recently started seeing a new guy, for only 2 weeks, and had several dates, she is not attached to him or anything as it is just early stages.
Then she gets a text along the lines of
"can you stop meeting up with my boyfriend, me and him are still together which he obviously hasn't told you about! he has shown me your texts, Please can you stay out of our current relationship"
What would you make of that?
and what would you do?
Back away?
confront him?
If confront him and he denies anything is happening, what would you do?
is it better for her to leave the situation now, before her heart gets hurt further down the line?
have you been in this situation before?? what was the experience?
I think I'd text back - "no idea who you are, suggest you talk to your boyfriend. As a single person I shall see whoever I want to on whatever basis I like"
I'd then forward 'her' text to the bloke and see what happens0
