to think this is suspicious

[justamum]

DH's mobile just rang and as it was a local number I presumed it must be family or something so I took it into the lounge to him. He listened to the voicemail and said it was a wrong number but wanted me to leave the phone with him instead of putting it back on charge.
Am I being unreasonable to think that it is slightly unlikely that a genuine wrong number to a mobile would come from a local number. After all mobile numbers are completly random and there is no correlation between their location and land line std codes is there? which suggests to me that a wrong number from a landline is more likely to come from a different std code?
Am I over thinking this? its just he had to go out for a "business meal" unexpectedly tonight but came home with chinese which he ate like a dog, surely even dh can't manage two evening meals in one night!

rather odd, can you get the number and call it back sometime, it'll be on history somewhere unless he deletes it.

hmmmmmmmmmmm slightly suspicious. Maybe just ask why they didn't eat at the business meal, and see what he says? Try not to over think tho, these things are usually completely innocent.

uh oh

a bit odd I think too. If it were dh I would just say that I was feeling all suspicious now and could he put my fears at rest. If you don't ask him, presumably it will just prey on your mind.

I would ask too, would drive me crazy otherwise. Good luck x

it sounds slightly suspicious but there could well be a perfectly rational explaination.

my dp got a missed call from a number he didnt recognise and i said 'are you not going to phone back?' he said 'its probably just a wrong number' then he realised i was getting worried and said 'phone it back if youre that bothered'.

it was a wrong number.from a landline,to a mobile

Talk to him, ask him about it - surely the worst that can happen if you ask him is that he will be upset. Whereas the worst that will happen if you don't say anything is that you will go out of your mind thinking aobut it!

It could easily be someone local who has called him in the past and accidently pressed the wrong number. Ie. a local tradesperson who dh once spoke to, long since forgotten.

I'd ask if it were my dh.

Can't you listen to the message on the quiet as it were? See what it said?

I'd be suspicious, but that could just be because I've broken up with the biggest cheating asshat in the world this year.

Tell your partner that you are a paranoid person and that you're sorry but you'd like an explanation.

He can only say no, at which point you get to kick him in the balls

I'd call the number myself if i were you.

def ask him

Do you have any reason to not trust him>

if you;re that worried I would listen to the message and/or phone the number form his phone.

Hope its all innocent

all OK?

I'd be very suspicious.

The phone call business wouldn't make me suspicious. Someone could very easily mis-dial a mobile number.

Did you ask him why he was tucking into a chinese when he'd already been out for a meal?

How will he take it if he catches you poking about on his phone and he is entirely innocent?
Just ask him.
Wondering how many people on this thread would like their partners to go through their handbag, purses etc without being asked first.

I've done stuff like the OP's DH myself, and since I've never had an affair, can safely say it proves very little.
Also, being a clumsy git, the phone in my pocket occasionally rings people at random. OK these are people I know, but it is a "wrong number".
Sometimes getting the phone prompts me to make a call, so I don't see why keeping it is susp

Part of my life involves "business meals", and occasionally the client wants to eat at a place where there's nothing I can stomach, doesn't help that I'm allergic to eggs and despise highly spiced food.

But the chances of a local number randomly ringing DH isn't that high, unless you live in one of the mega "local" areas of a city.

I answer my DH's phone went it rings - could you not do that in future - I also look if I know there is a missed call - it's usually one of his mates (my mates DH's) about footie or something - he does the same with me. I'm not suspicious of him - just nosey

Can you not encourage that sort of thing so in future you can pick it up - you could always say I did'nt want you to miss it

Despite DC's explanation I would query the two meals thing though!
