When she got home she saw the flowers and started shouting at me and calling me every name under the sun I was completely shocked. She told me to never go to her work ever, and to do that again.. she wanted an argument n I just thought it would be a nice gesture.

I was totally confused. She said that everyone is gonna think something is wrong and that there is something wrong with you and your a weird creep etc. she stormed out of the house and drove off..

Later she said she apologised for over reacting but still doesn't want me to ever go to her work again.

I'm totally confused wtf was that.
I am confused, too.


You meant well.

I'd be confused, too.

Something else is going on there. Keep your eyes and ears open.

It's definitely a weird reaction for one spouse to have to another, without any further context being given.

I did receive flowers at work, many times. It's where I was to accept delivery, and it made my husband the hero to my coworkers, which I'm sure he liked.

When we first met, I was running a bank drive thru window, and he used to send a flower in the drawer.

My wife did that for me one Valentine's Day and walked over from her office to join in the fun. She'd told my secretary to call her when the Barber Shop Quartet arrived since her office was less than a five minute walk from mine. Naturally, my secretary told everyone else in the office so when my wife arrived a whole crowd gathered to watch.

I used to bring flowers to my wife's office just about once a week. There was a weekly farmer's market in a park across the street from my office and one vendor sold large, beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers of all types and combinations so I'd get to her office a bit early to bring her one at lunch before we went out to eat. The first time I did it I also brought a vase from home which she then kept in her office "just in case." The some of the women in her office were a bit envious but they all seemed pleased for her and the fact that she was so loved. They thought I was OK too.

Fond memories! Sadly, that faze of our marriage is over as she passed away recently. Even in retirement I kept surprising her with flowers periodically. It always brought me pleasure to make and see her happy. That was always Job-1.

This is an extreme and dramatic response.

I've received flowers at work before, and since he was out of town at the time, it was a very sweet and unexpected gesture.

I recently sent my Girlfriend flowers at her work because we had been fighting about her demanding work schedule.
I know what she likes and had gotten her flowers another time for her Birthday and she proudly displayed them on her desk, took a photo, and sent me the photo with a sweet thank you message. I should clarify that the office is difficult to find and with both deliveries she had to give the delivery person some extra help finding the office.
This most recent time I sent the bouquet she opted to met the delivery person out far away from her office, and immediately took the flowers up to her vehicle and left them in a hot truck for the rest of the day and then brought them home.
Besides the careless treatment she showed the flowers, I felt she was trying to prevent anyone, or maybe someone specifically, in her office from seeing she received flowers or that she was involved with someone.
She claims she just wanted to bring them home and it was easier to take them up to the car, I should also mention that the industrial park where she works makes it possible to pull right up to her office door, and there would be no easier way than that.
Bottom line is my girlfriend lying to me and possibly cheating on me?

Do you have any other reasons to suspect cheating?

Her bringing it to her car and not her office doesn't suggest cheating to me.

How long have you 2 been together? Forget social media, it really doesn't mean anything. She is probably used to the relationship and doesn't feel like she needs to show you off anymore. That stuff happens over time and is perfectly natural.

It it makes you feel any better, the first time my partner got me flowers I took a picture them and posted it on fb. All other times I said thank you and that was it. I don't get excited any more when he buys me flowers.

I wouldn't get worried about what she did.
