The guy I’m seeing deletes my whats apps

Am I being unreasonable that I find it weird that the guy I’m seeing deletes some of our whats apps?

I realised this the other day when he accidentally deleted one of his messages he’d sent for me and him instead of just him. He immediately said sorry didn’t mean to delete for me as well. I asked why he was deleting messages as I thought it was strange and his response was he liked to scroll up our conversations and deleting some meant he could get to the more fun texts quicker, so basically in my eyes saying he likes to delete the boring texts. I still found this weird but it really played to a paranoia I have that he’s only really wants to talk to me for the flirty texts and doesn’t actually value me for me etc. I raised this and he said he keeps the flirty ones and the fun bantery ones we have. I obviously haven’t asked to see which he’s kept as that feels crazy. But I just can’t decide if this is seriously weird behaviour and if i’m over reacting by feeling really disrespected. I don’t know anyone else who goes through what’s apps and deletes messages.

To be fair @Anon12986 I've just checked my storage at 2GB of it is WhatsApp and most of that is data like photos and videos. Is he deleting GIFs or memes?

It's still pretty neurotic even if he is though Grin

Haha! It did make me look at my storage too lol. It’s apparently individual messages which just feels like the most inefficient way to manage memory.

I used to "star" some of my now husband's messages when we started going out so I could read all the really sweet ones and forget the rest. Not done that for ages now. He didn't even delete old girlfriends and people he was chatting to from his contacts. He said he never looks back just forward so it didn't matter.

I would find this a bit strange, but couldnt' be offended (or assume he only wanted me for sex) because he didn't keep every single "What time are we meeting" text.
