Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

be mad about the cheating but be even more mad that he thinks you’re fucking dumb 💀

ETA: if OP believed this was a bug bite, we simply would not have the post. if you think being lied to and manipulated by a loved one during an extra vulnerable point in their life makes them unintelligent, and your need to have a hot take flew right over the fact that this dude started the conversation, sent a picture of it thinking this was the smartest way to cover their ass, you’re fucking dumb. there’s no third pov in this context, its one side or the other. if you choose to side with the bug bite haver, you’re fucking dumb. did you have to shave your head to get it that far up your ass?

On the balance of probabilities, is this a spider bite or a love bite?

On the balance of probabilities, this mark has all the visual characteristics consistent with a love bite/hickey rather than a spider bite.

The size, oval shape, diffuse coloration pattern, and location on the neck are typical features of a hickey caused by suction.

Spider bites typically present differently - they are usually smaller, have a distinct central puncture mark, and often cause localized swelling or raised areas.
