Deleted message, suspicious or not?

My DP and I haven't been good recently. Just alot of bickering and arguing. DP text me and then sent another couple texts. I opened WhatsApp and saw the top message and then the bottom 2 were deleted. DP then starts typing and says I deleted the message it was about a holiday I found a deal for but it's actually more expensive than booking through the website.
I said why delete they couldn't you just have told me that without deleting it. Then I'm sent screenshots of these holidays. I asked again why delete? Reply was I was writing a message but thought it would be easier to delete.

Is this suspicious? Aibu for being suspicious?

Suspicious of what sorry?

I don't think I understand

Is the holiday a cover for something else? Why would anybody this be suspicious?

RazzberryGem · 09/04/2024 21:43

I'm forever deleting and editing my sent messages.
I get too excited and trigger happy and just press send but I'm too much of a perfectionist to leave any mistakes in there 😂

It sounds to me like you're overthinking this 100%. What do you think your partner said and then deleted?

KrisAkabusi · 09/04/2024 21:46

They were messages to you that he deleted? What exactly are you suspicious about?

DonnyBurrito · 09/04/2024 21:46

Overthinking. Sounds like you need this holiday!

BettyShagter · 09/04/2024 21:47

You've forgotten to tell us what you're suspicious of??

Mellowmallow201 · 09/04/2024 21:47

We did split up briefing a few weeks back but managed to talk things through. Just wondered if perhaps they sent a text to the wrong person, hence deleting

You're unreasonable for wasting your time in a shit relationship.

WigglyVonWaggly · 09/04/2024 21:48

I delete messages all the time if I no longer need to refer to them. I’d be seriously miffed if my husband thought I might be a cheat.

BettyShagter · 09/04/2024 21:48

As an aside, if I delete a message I hate it when the other person asks me what it was. It means I end up explaining it was sent in error or whatever and then that normally prompts a conversation.

My DS does this a lot and I wish he'd just ignore it.

Tandora · 09/04/2024 21:49

You are massively overthinking and reaching. I delete messages all the time if I realise what I said was wrong/ irrelevant. Nothing suspicious about it,

I'm sorry, but if he can't even delete a message to you without it making you 'suspicious', your relationship is pretty dysfunctional. He sent you a link to a holiday, realised it wasn't actually relevant, and deleted it. That's completely normal.

Are you just searching for stuff to argue about? Because this is definitely a reach... Just end the relationship if you are that unhappy.

BobbyBiscuits · 10/04/2024 13:41

He started writing you a message then changed his mind. It could have been about axe murder, it could've been about a massive lottery win...who knows. My DH sent me a mean text yesterday then it showed it sent to me again with a thumbs down and 'retracted' written on front. Lol. I just laughed. He was just moaning and didn't mean it.
What is suspicious about it?
You may not like him right now but there's bigger fish to fry surely.

PenelopeTitsdrop1990 · 10/04/2024 13:53

You're probably feeling suspicious because things aren't great between you two.

jengachampion · 10/04/2024 13:59

Splitting up for a while is important context!
why do you think he’s cheating?
on its own I wouldn’t but why did you split up?

wearasuitornothing · 10/04/2024 15:43

Sounds like you already have no trust so it doesn't rly matter

BeachBeerBbq · 10/04/2024 15:46

Yeah. You should stay split. You will drive each other crazy with lack of trust
