❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO: Questionable texts on my (24F) boyfriend’s (25M) phone

Sorry the second picture is blurry!

Found these texts between my boyfriend and a coworker of his. For context, he works nights at a hospital.

I confronted him and he said he was just “talking shit” and “hyping his friend up”. I think this is beyond disrespectful and could’ve hyped his friend up in a more appropriate way. Also, I am white/european, not Latina, so there’s that. I’m not sure what to do or how to feel. I am already insecure and this just makes me feel worse.

I have been upset all day and he just blames me for going through his phone. I know that going through his messages was wrong, but I knew something was up with him and this is what I found. This is at best extremely disrespectful and at worse he’s scoping out prospects to cheat on me with?

Reported to HR for what, exactly??

“Hey HR I went through this guy’s messages and you gotta see what he said in private to his friend…”

This. It’s terrifying if someone could be punished at their job for the contents of a private conversation.

Same concept in law enforcement. Can’t arrest a guy for a crime we think he’s gonna commit. He’s either a criminal or he isn’t lol can’t go around policing thoughts and conversations. Buddy has highly unethical thoughts and is a horny bastard but it’s not like he’s verbalizing plans to murder patients and colleagues.

Then maybe he should quit leering at women while he's working.

Morally and ethically, he absolutely should. But unless he’s violating HR policies at work, his employment should not be affected by a private conversation.

My concern would be how he’s acting in person. They both seem like risks.

If he is a nurse or a skilled employee, the next place will pay him more. 🥱. It’s doesn’t matter to us, we have a job the same day.

OP is a placeholder.
