I have been seeing a woman for a while now and recently she started mentioning a male coworker what i thought was a lot. A friend told me if she talks about this guy all the time, there is probably something going on between them. I dismissed it.
The other night she was discussing business with this dude on the phone and had him on the speaker. I was not nearby but could hear as it was loud. At the end of the conversation, he said, love you. She paused and said back at you. It sounded kind of akward.
I didn't think much of it at the time but the more i think about it the more it makes me wonder. I have heard thru a mutual friend they flirt and have possibly hooked up in the past.

Am i reading something into nothing? Should i flat ask and risk starting a war or let it go. Debating apptoaching the subject but if i.am wrong, i don't want her to think i don't trust her. Opinions?

You waited too long. As soon as a guy starts talking about his female BFF (which is usually early) I'm outtie.

It's a huge, flaming red flag, and the fact that he said "love you"? Pretty much Exhibit A.

Huh? I am good friends with a ton of my coworkers and no one says the L word.
And who is the friend - your friend or her friend?


I'd flat out ask her.

Wait, is he potentially gay? I am not being snarky, I am serious.
If not I might wonder as well, and flat out ask like the other posters have suggested.

As a side note, I was married to a man who ended up meeting someone else at his work. It started with him mentioning that they went with a group to lunch, then it was just them, well, you see how this ends, he left me and is now married to her.

If i was cheating, i wouldn't call the person in front of my partner on a speaker no less with them listening, for fear of what could or might be said. I have female friends i say live you to, but don't mean it in a sexual way.

She paused when he said it, though, right?

And then tried to play down the situation by saying a benign comment instead of "I love you too"?

I'm sorry, Bearsdad, but that's CYA behavior. I bet there will be no more speaker calls.

no, I mean, who is this friend? Is he trustworthy?

You would be amazed at what people do, "hiding in plain sight". The ex I referenced once talked to his then GF while he and I were hiking with my dogs and he actually said it was his friend, who I happened to know was in church at the time.

Hope you get this sorted out.
