I’ve been in a relationship for over a year, we have a strong relationship and we get along brilliantly minus his mother who despises her son being in any relationship and has been set out to break us up since day 1. So yesterday, we had a day out went for dinner etc and it was fine, he seemed a little off but insisted nothing was wrong. We were in the restaurant and his phone went off, he checked and put it away swiftly I asked what was up and he become quick to say “nothing I promise nothing”. So anyway, fast forward to last night we were in bed and I get a message request on Facebook from a girl called Sophie, I look confused and he asks what’s up before I read it and I just said “some girl called Sophie is trying to message me. Do you know how to accept requests?” And he said no. I then said “I don’t know a Sophie, do you know anyone called Sophie?” Again, no. After about 20 minutes I opened the request and it said “hey I’m so sorry. I asked *your boyfriend* out for dinner I was given his number and told that he was recently single and interested in going out with me. If I had known you were still together I would never have I’m so sorry. He didn’t reply when I asked but I was set up with him. I guess it was false information but again im really sorry” ....

Erm what???

So I sit quietly whilst my heart is RACING. I then ask him “why do I have a girl called Sophie messaging me apologising for asking my boyfriend out and that she was set up on a blind date with you because you’re recently single?”

He become panicked and told me about the message and said he deleted it so he didn’t have her or anything to do with it. She sent me the screenshots of the text she sent with him not replying so I believe that. I asked what the number was and he had saved it? He saved the number but deleted the texts.. why? Why would he save it? I asked why he didn’t tell me and he said he didn’t want to fight and I simply said this is a worse way to find out someone is setting him up than him telling me it’s what you do in a relationship, you’re honest. So he deleted her number and whatever. It turns out she had text him when we were at dinner and that’s what he was hiding from me. Fine. I ask who could have set him up and he said he wasn’t sure. He recently got a new phone and the only people who have his number are me and his family. My bets are on his mother, this wouldn’t be the first time and this girl has checked him out on Facebook to see that he is in a relationship with me.. I was super pissed that he didn’t tell me and that he saved the number, as in he took the unknown number and saved it as Sophie then deleted the texts.. along with the fact that I asked if he knew a Sophie and he straight away said no, plus he said when I said that a Sophie requested me his first thought was “oh fuck”, but overall I think he done the right thing. What do you guys think?

Update/

So we mentioned about a girl messaging him to his mother, we did not suggest it was her we just said someone asked him out. Instantly she become defensive, after about 15 awkward minutes she told him when I left the room that she gave Sophie his number, Sophie is a friends daughter and that she’s a nice girl and he could be doing so much better than me, give Sophie a chance. She admitted to telling her that we recently split and he was looking for something more serious. After some arguing back and forth and him saying she’s risking his relationship and it isn’t fair nor is it normal for her to be behaving like this we finally left her house to go home. So there we have it. Sophie was set up by his mum who is desperately trying to kick me out of his relationship. So here’s to another bump in moving forward with his family. Yay!
