Carpet burns

Hi guys just wanting some advice my partner has been acting weird and secretive just a lately and he's come home with a nasty carpet burn on his knee he tried telling me he got it from kneeling down on the carpet at his mum's to change our babies bottom,now I'm not buying that story or excuse because as far as I'm aware to cause a carpet burn you need friction and he was also wearing trousers im really confused as to wot to think he then changed his story slightly and said he got the burn coz of how he went down on the carpet he slightly scraped it but in my eyes this still wouldn't cause a nasty burn to the point his skin had come of and bareing in mind he never told me about this burn until I seen it for myself one night

I got carpet burn from holding plank position so I guess it's possible

It takes a lot to get a friction burn. When I was younger I would always have them from having sex on the carpet 😆

Listen to your gut instinct if it’s all adding up to make you suspicious.

Is this all you have or has anything else happened?

Does he have form?

No there's a few things unfortunately 😔 he never has his phone in my eye sight it's always face down whenever I do see it which is rare and I also found cable ties in our son's nappy bag. To be blunt I think he's sleeping with someone on his mum's street they slept together before we got bk together she lives a few doors down from his mum and he goes to his mum's nearly everyday and he used to stay there for the full day every Saturday

He also has come home and got a shower straight away and come home once and had a wash in the sink coz henleft the sponge and soap in the sink but lied and said he had used it in the morning to have a wash but the sink was wet and the sponge was soaking

So deliberately run your phone out of battery mid call to your mum and ask to borrow his to call your mum back or something. If he is reluctant to hand it over then you have your answer.
