I think my husband has blocked me?!

He’s not been responding to WhatsApp messages today but has definitely been reading them. I messaged him again about 30 mins ago and it’s staying on one grey tick and his profile pic has disappeared.

He could be on the train so it could be that he has no signal but that doesn’t explain why his profile pic has gone.

Maybe he doesn't want to be in constant contact?

WandaWonder · 03/03/2023 20:47

Or having technical issues, doesn't have to be some thing against you regardless

DaltWisney · 03/03/2023 20:49

More context needed

What have your texts been about?

Have you been hounding him with a multitude of texts all day?

Has he had important clients/meetings today?

Have you had a row?

Is he under a lot of stress/pressure at the moment?

Could his phone have been stolen or lost so he's been in touch with the phone provider to block the device?

If the profile picture has disappeared then you could be blocked. That's nothing to do with bad signal.

Chikapu · 03/03/2023 21:03

What reason would he have to block you?

passtheolives · 03/03/2023 21:05

Why would be block you?

purplediscolove · 03/03/2023 21:06

if their profile pic has disappeared and your only getting 1 tick he’s either delete what’s app or blocked you. No two ways about it

Zola1 · 03/03/2023 21:07

Or taken his pic down and battery gone or something

Greensleevevssnotnose · 03/03/2023 21:08

Why are you hounding him. I last messaged my partner 18 months ago before yesterday

That’s not normal either 😂

Starlightstarbright1 · 03/03/2023 21:12

Maybe he doesn’t want constant messages

Emmamoo89 · 03/03/2023 21:19

He's blocked you

Cheshiremamalife · 03/03/2023 21:43

All OK OP? Did you manage to get hold of him??

LaughingCat · 03/03/2023 21:48

I might, potentially send my other half a message while we’re apart. If I needed to, like ‘could you pick up milk on your way home’. Maybe a meme if I saw something that made me chuckle. If he didn’t get back to them, I probably wouldn’t notice.

What the flippety fuck have you been messaging him about all day? The way your post is written, it sounds like you’ve sent multiple Whatsapp messages, but with no response. What were the messages?

GoodChat · 03/03/2023 22:10

You've been messaging him and he hasn't responded for a reason. Leave him alone.

IhearyouClemFandango · 03/03/2023 22:12

It’s not that odd for couples to message through the day surely?

FrostyFifi · 03/03/2023 22:12

Why are you hounding him. I last messaged my partner 18 months ago before yesterday

That's certainly the other extreme 😂

Hawkins003 · 03/03/2023 22:14

Seems possible he's blocked you

MyLittlePonyWellies · 03/03/2023 22:15

My phone was doing this recently and it wasn't that I'd been blocked. That genuinely hadn't even occurred to me! People were responding but the tick was just one. I don't know why it was doing it. It was group chats and also my husband and sister (who I would message fairly regularly and never had it before). So it could just be a tech issue

Timetochangetheoil · 03/03/2023 22:17

🤣 burst out laughing at this!

Yellowdays · 03/03/2023 22:22

It's not though!

Greensleevevssnotnose · 03/03/2023 22:26

We live together work together and call if there is a need.

MyBloodyBrother · 03/03/2023 22:27

He works away during the week. He was supposed to come home last night but messaged me after 11pm to tell me he wasn’t coming which pissed me off. I messaged this morning to say I was upset that he didn’t tell me until hours after he knew he’d have missed the last train and that DC were upset he wasn’t home but we’re super looking forward to seeing him tonight. He read it but didn’t reply. I messaged earlier this evening to check he was on and still coming home as very out of character for him to not reply to me. That message is still one grey tick and profile pic has gone on WhatsApp. I’ve tried calling but going straight to answerphone.

FrostyFifi · 03/03/2023 22:28

OP yes that's out of order then.

KnownByAssociation · 03/03/2023 22:28

Well he sounds like an absolute arsehole. I hope you're ok OP, you must be stressed and worried. Is there a back story here?
