to think dh is lying

[User20000]

I’ve called him twice to pick up something on his way back from work as he comes home for lunch. He didn’t answer the phone however it rung once on both occasions. He’s saying his phone has no battery. I’ve told him that it’s not possible as his phone rung.

So I did, I generally do before replying.

What's your point specifically?

No he’s never lied before that I’m aware of.

It sounds as though your bad experiences in the past are making you anxious. Do you think you could be jumping to conclusions and assuming he’s lying when he’s very possibly telling the truth?

Yes I feel I could be but I’ve never heard of a phone ringing with no battery.

It's not the phone itself - in the individual handset - it's the provider's call handling system. Even if the phone handset itself is dead the call handling system will give you, the caller, a single ringtone and then default to voicemail.

Happens all the time when I call my DM's mobile as she's rubbish at keeping it charged. And she isn't avoiding my calls, trust me. I get told off for not calling.

I think you are jumping to conclusions based on past experiences. And just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it can't happen.

@SnottyNosedSheila Perfectly put.

Ta chuck. I get where the OP is coming from but the uninformed jealousy and accusations, without actually understanding how mobile phone providers work, would be a deal breaker for me.

Jealousy is a truly horrible thing and often leads to ill informed paranoia. Don't be that person OP. You will regret it.

OP, honestly you’re being really unreasonable. Try and imagine what the responses would be like if you’d posted “DH is accusing me of lying and won’t believe me because my phone was dead”...

Jealousy is a horrible feeling and I feel for you but I think the issue here is you.
