Is it inappropriate for my boyfriend to touch another woman like this?

[Anonymous]

Is my boyfriend being inappropriate with this woman? I ve gone to my boyfriend s job a few times and I notice him touching this girl he works with in a way that I don t know how to take. Like If She s Standing In Front Of Him and he s trying to get by he will rest both of his hands on her hips, with the front of his body facing her. Or he will touch her back a lot when he s talking to her. Should I feel offended by this or am I just being insecure?

Stamp it out right now. That sort of touching means he feels incredibly comfortable touching her that way and she is allowing it too. This will only grow if it's allowed to continue. Ask him to stop doing this as it makes you feel uncomfortable. He can say to her "excuse me" as it's still a phrase used in the social lexicon.

Lol... oh he says excuse me! Which is why I don't understand why he has to grab both her hips to slide by. Glad to know I'm not just being dramatic!

But he's trying his luck. It may look like it's nothing and he will explain it away that way but he's touching her around the hip area - why not touch her arms? He thinks of her in sexual terms and in my experience, most men would just push gently past a woman to get by. In my view, he likes her a little too much. I don't think he's cheating or anything but he feels too comfortable with her.

Lord knows I'd raise my eyebrows at the idea of my boyfriend doing that.
My question is, does he do that to other women? Still, it's unsettling. I would say inappropriate for the workplace and not something I would be comfortable with as well.

I haven't seen him do it to other girls but I don't know what he doing when I'm not around. But I've noticed him do it twice to this one in particular. And she just let's him do it so she must be comfortable/used to it already.

[Est93]

Fair enough. Just try not to assume anything too quickly. It's something that can easily be addressed just by asking him and also, telling him it makes you feel uncomfortable.

It's unnecessary touching, but maybe it's because they are very good friends. You should keep your eye on it though, just in case, but don't become obsessive.

[Asker]

They're not good friends, she just started working there. He barely knows her. .

[AleDeEurope]

Oh... then yeah, you should be kinda suspicious. It is kinda inappropriate for two people who just met to act like that.

[BertMacklinFBI]

so he grabs her by the waist/hips and moves her aside? seems old fashion... why the fuck can't he just walk around her without touching her at all.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yeah, he shouldn't be doing that and you have every right to be mad / upset with him

[Kenzy-Yinn]

The hip thing sure is inappropiate to me, I'd talk to him about it

[nate18]

Stop being insecure. But he probably likes her and is cheating on you.

[WilliamWinslow]

You should be alert. But maybe he is drunk? Or too happy? Or something else?
If no, then you should be suspicious.

[sxphs]

He's coming on to her

[sweetestxemily]

[KDA20]

[Nathand]

[JordynBae]

[MysteriousChick93]

Yes it's wrong

[MysteriousChick93]

[Succcesssfulll]
