She Called Her Boyfriend Out For Saving His Female Friend’s Contact In His Phone With A Cute Nickname While Her Own Name Was Still Misspelled
This 32-year-old woman first met her female friend at her job, who is 30. Then, through her friend, she wound up meeting her 31-year-old boyfriend.
After she started dating her boyfriend and getting to know his friends better, though, his relationship with her female coworker sort of rubbed her the wrong way.
She even brought these concerns up to him on numerous occasions, too. But her boyfriend insisted that he just viewed their mutual friend as a sister and would never do anything with her.
Once she repeatedly brought up her reservations about their relationship, her coworker apparently caught wind of it as well.
“And the next time I saw her, she also reassured me there was nothing going on between them and never would and that she likes me and is happy for the two of us,” she recalled.
Despite that, though, she has still had to ask her boyfriend to show some respect for their relationship.
More specifically, she didn’t want him to spend time alone with her coworker at her house because it simply made her uncomfortable.
But whenever she tried to explain that to her boyfriend, he would just get upset and accuse her of being unfair– which has caused some issues in their partnership.
“Maybe it seems controlling, but I don’t think it’s that wrong to ask,” she admitted.

What makes her the most worried about her boyfriend and coworker’s friendship, though, has to do with her contact in her boyfriend’s phone.
For context, when they first started dating, her boyfriend did not have anyone’s name saved to his contact list. Instead, he just tried to remember everyone’s numbers.
After he kept confusing phone numbers, though, she eventually told her boyfriend that he needed to start saving names. After that, he did add her name as a contact on his phone– but she noticed it was spelled wrong.
Still, since it was pretty early in their relationship, she didn’t think much of it. Rather, she just always assumed he would fix it.
Yet, her boyfriend never edited her contact. And just last week, when her coworker called her boyfriend, she saw her coworker’s name pop up on his phone.
Apparently, he had saved her coworker’s contact as a cute nickname that rhymed– which really upset her.
She decided to be upfront about it, too, and asked her boyfriend why their female friend’s name was saved like that in his phone.
He didn’t understand what was wrong with the contact name, though, and reportedly just got mad at her.
So, she tried to explain her reasoning. She detailed how, if she didn’t know her boyfriend and saw that name pop up on his screen, she would immediately assume it was his girlfriend calling. After all, people tend to save their partner’s contact information with cute nicknames.
She also pointed out how it would be one thing if she also had a cute nickname, too. But she reminded her boyfriend of the fact that her plain name wasn’t even spelled correctly on his phone!
Afterward, her boyfriend tried to claim that his friend’s contact had been like that for a really long time. But she just knew that was not true and called him out on it.
This caused her boyfriend to become incredibly mad, and he actually started yelling at her and causing a big scene in a store. He claimed that she needed to “grow up” and accused her of acting crazy by getting upset over her coworker’s name in his phone.
So now, her boyfriend obviously knows that she doesn’t feel great about his relationship with her coworker. And apparently, her coworker also has a partner, too– which has pushed her to wonder how the woman’s own partner would feel watching that nickname pop up on her boyfriend’s phone.
“I also wonder why he couldn’t just change it and not scream and fight with me about it,” she said.
On top of that, she was also triggered because her coworker was calling her boyfriend to ask him out for drinks. And after her boyfriend said he was already hanging out with her, he just said they would both be up for drinks without even consulting her first.
Quite frankly, though, she did not want to go out for drinks. She just wanted to spend some quality time together since things had already been rough between them.
“And her stupid phone call sparked a huge fight and us almost breaking up,” she vented.
So now, she is not sure if she is overreacting and in the wrong. Or if she has a right to feel weird about her boyfriend’s behavior toward their friend.
Would you feel weird about your boyfriend having a cute nickname for a female friend on his phone? What if, at the same time, your name was still misspelled? Why do you think her boyfriend took such offense to her concerns? Should she be worried?
