Do you trust your sixth sense?

DPs phone rang earlier...there followed a very quiet 5 second convo following which he never mentioned the call.

I wasnt in the room at the time but usually he would say "oh that say so n so calling about whatever"...he never, and he also seemed rather flustered...I was tempted to casually ask who that was on the phone but tbh I didnt want to put him on the spot..god knows why

I am not a suspicious person generally but for some reason my radar was on for this call....I have just managed to check his phone and have noted the mobile number....am tempted to call it...faking a wrong number...

Tell me to farking stop...or not

We have been together 14 years and things are pretty good...no big issues really so no reason to be suspicious...

Simple. I would ask him outright. You'll be able to tell a lot by his body language and reactions and you never know, it may actually be nothing. Hope so.

For some reason I dont want to ask him...I think amybe because I feel stupid for feeling suspicious...

the call was 2 hours ago..why would I suddenly ask him now who had called.

I promise..he usually tells me the minute he gets off the phone...who he was talking to and what they wanted...not that I am always listening you understand :)...but for some reason this time he didnt

I would investigate more sixthsense, before I confront/talk to him. It might be something and nothing.

Amiapayne...my thought and hence my taking the opportunity to get the number from his phone..I had all intentions of ringing it but now Ive run out of courage..

He keeps his phone with him all the time which is normal and it has taken me 2 hours to get the opportunity to find it...I told him to get a shower as he was smelly :D

Diggs..Im afraid to...because I am a person who although completely trusting...will drop someone in a hearbeat if there is a sniff of infidelity...

I ditched a fiance of 5 years when I found out he had a drunken snog with some work colleague...

No second chance no discussion....If I found out ANYTHING was going on his feet wouldnt touch the ground....

I dont tolerate cheats,,,can you tell :)

Sixth tread carefully. Don't ring, don't do anything yet.

It could be a surprise party or something :)

No way a surpise party :D...I would bet my house on it :D

I know my own instincts very well and I have not had this feeling for over 20 years...as I said I dropped a past fiance...and my instinct were bang on then.

I am not going to ring just yet....I will do it tomorrow from work....where I can use a number that bears no resemblence to any other number I would use....once I have done that the action will go one of 2 ways.....I am however not one to confront until I have all the facts....I have to be dead sure of myself and that I am right...other wise it could be a massive mistake

I do trust instincts, and think you're really brave to confront it.
I really hope this comes to nothing though.

So do I carly...for his sake really.....he would absolutely shit himself if he thought I had found out he had been carrying on behind my back....because he knows how much of a show stopper that is with me..

Dont get me wrong, he isnt some quiverring 7 stone wimp but I know he would be gutted if I found anything Like that out

Hope it turns out to be nothing, but sixth sense exists for a reason

I can read him like a book ...every expression, every bit of body language. I can almost predict what his nest words will be...but I dont mean to make it sound boring...it is comfortable and safe iykwim

You just know when something doesnt site right in his ways....I just didnt see the reaction (when his phone rang) coming...well I was in the hall so obviously i didnt see it...but usually he tells me all aobut his convo...

and he isnt a planner so there is no big surprise...fark me I get money for my birthdya...that is about as far as his forward planning goes!!

I do love hime dearly...I do hope when I ring this number tomorrow some "tart" doesnt answer the phone :D.....or it will be phase 2 of my plan...which I havent quite worked out yet.. :S

What will you say to whoever it is?

I think I would just ask him tonight. I'd say "Was that your mum ringing you earlier?" And watch with a very beady eye.

Any news, sixth sense?

If you don't want to ask him and intend to phone the number instead, you'd learn far more from his phone bills.

For all you lovely ladies who listened to my suspicious ramblings yesterday...I rang the number this afternoon and a Man answered...

I am much happier and can only think that Im a bit neurotic and maybe my sixth sense is rather sensitive atm.....

Thankyou again my lovelies

As you were SS xxxxx
