I can't work out if I am being a paranoid idiot so need some opinions on what you would think/do if you were in my shoes...
After a argument via phone in which my boyfriend (of 8 years) said some hurtful things to me, he came over to apologise and stay the night. We were lying in bed when at 10pm his mobile started to ring. He practically leapt out of bed to turn it off. I asked him why he didn't answer it and he claimed he is constantly getting unsolicited calls from salespeople and the like. I'd seen the number on the screen and it was a mobile number i.e. no name attached to it.
I've got a niggling doubt about this as:
- He has kids and therefore never turns his phone off in case of some child-related emergency. In which case surely you'd answer an unexpected call?
- Do people really get calls like that so late in the evening? He showed me some PPI related text to prove his point - well yes I get texts like that but not late night phone calls so I didn't see how that helped explain things.
- He cheated on me in the early days of our relationship - I forgave him because we were going through a rocky patch, and I'm a bloody doormat
I wish I could talk it through with a friend but don't really want to sour their opinions of him if it's just a daft paranoia trip
