Partner of 2 years (we don't live together by mutual agreement, but are in an "exclusive" relationship) spends weekends at my house when my children are with their dad. Friday was his last day at work due to a job change. He went out after work for a few drinks, said he'd be a couple of hours. Came back to mine very pissed at 2am. I was a bit annoyed but let it go.
Today, I needed to text from his phone because my battery was dead. In the box at the bottom of the new, blank text, were the words "sexy" "pictures" "send". Am I right in thinking these are words which have been recently typed? He was next to me when I saw this and I pointed it out - he said they're not words he's typed and phones just display random words. I think this is bollocks. Opinions, please?

Mine are "I, Thank, You".

I don't think this is random. You're right to be suspicious.

I don't get random words on my phone. Is this an iPhone thing? (Android household here)

Charley50 · 26/07/2017 07:14

I don't get random words on my old iPhone either.

What is it with men telling flimsy lie after lie?
Well done on acting so decisively. If only more on here followed your example.

Stormwhale · 26/07/2017 07:40

Yea, because when a man wants to watch porn, they always search 'sexy pictures. Obviously. Hmm

juliasalinger · 26/07/2017 07:41

Well done for dumping his arse! You deserve better!

MudGolum · 26/07/2017 07:59

Well done OP! You took no shit.

I The You

I The You

Ok so my little experiment was what I my three words before google "send naked pictures" and what are they afterwards

I clearly made no difference

SpottedGingham · 26/07/2017 08:07

I the my.

Glad you didn't let him gaslight you, OP!

Veronicat · 26/07/2017 08:13

Scotland Rainy day, in mine. You can guess where I live! I obviously whinge about the weather far too much.

I love the iPod revenge. That's beautiful.

rightsofwomen · 26/07/2017 08:14

OK
Thanks
Talk later

Oh, I sound really nice and amenable.

minerva85 · 26/07/2017 08:20

Just check mine...

Definitely words I've recently typed/type a lot.

"I", "the", "OK"

What I will say, is when I started this post on mumsnet, using the app, the same words came up.

So could it be possible that he has an app?

janthea · 26/07/2017 08:27

What does 'gaslight' mean

StormFrontage · 26/07/2017 08:33

Calling you 'fucking crazy' is horrible enough.

Flyinggeese · 26/07/2017 08:35

You've done the right thing.

But the way, hair creme?!

supersop60 · 26/07/2017 08:40

Well done OP.
Lying and gaslighting are enough reasons to dump.

janthea - the term comes from an old film called Gaslight where a man makes a woman think she is going mad by making her doubt herself - it starts with him fiddling with the gas lights, but denying it, when she wonders why the lights are changing.

IHeartDodo · 26/07/2017 08:46

Aw op I'm sorry.
FWIW my words are "Sat, Moss, Rib1" (last 2 are Knitting ones, I keep track of numbers of rows on my phone!).
Love the iPod revenge!

babybubblescomingsoon · 26/07/2017 08:48

Mine are 'that's' , 'yeah' and DP's first name.

So I would suggest it is indeed tailored to the personal phone. Unless everyone's boxes display a spectacularly French name randomly too?

Hope you're ok DP, Flowers

Bananamama1213 · 26/07/2017 08:50

Husband has a Samsung and he has recently used words come up on his - I went on it once to look at something and saw pornhub BUT I was on the internet rather than text.
