Aibu to overthink WhatsApp?

So last night I was at my boyfriend’s house and his son was coming over but I had a really bad stomach and felt really sick. So I just wanted to go round to my house. This was around 4.40. So I went and I never heard a thing from him.. until 2.30am and he messaged me and said I’m only wakened up on the sofa I fell asleep around 7pm. But whenever I was messaging him on WhatsApp 2 ticks where sending (meaning delivered) but then around midnight I sent a message and only one tick sent? Which usually means you have to be out of your house somewhere cause I know this happens me when I’m at work with awful signal. So I asked him this morning why only one tick sent and he said he doesn’t know? But he couldn’t have been in the house then if only one tick sent. I asked him did his phone die and he said when he woke up it was 8 percent. Can this happen on WhatsApp even when in the house.

Of course it can happen, signal dips in and out all the time for all sorts of reasons.

Why don't you trust him?

Sometimes I get one tick messaging dh but I know he’s in the house, signal dips all the time.

I think you are asking the wrong questions. What I mean by that is you clearly don’t trust him. You may have good reason idk 🤷‍♀️.
He could have lost signal, he could have been out cheating on you and turned his phone off incase you called. No way of us knowing.
My point is, in a healthy relationship with a man (or woman) with integrity and value, this type of worry isn’t created for the other person. If you don’t fully trust him the question really should be “why do I value my self so little to put up with being with someone who makes me worry about where they are and what they are doing”. Said in kindness, I used to have a nervous attachment style too when I was younger
