Aibu to overthink WhatsApp?

So last night I was supposed to stay with my partner and his son was coming over (I was supposed to go with partner and pick him up together). But I had a really bad stomach so I ended up going round home. Really felt ill. So I went home around 4.40 and I never got a single message from my boyfriend the whole night until 2.30am in the mornin and he messaged saying he had just woke up from 7pm? But could anyone really sleep on the sofa that long and would you really sleep that long if your son was sittin beside you when ur meant to be spending time with them? But that’s fine but when I was messaging him on WhatsApp 2 ticks where sending (meaning delivered) but then around midnight only one tick sent? Does this not mean ur out of the house and lost signal? This morning I asked him about it and he said he’s not sure. This usually happens me in work when I have no signal in my work.

Sorry, but my husband and I were sitting next to each other on the sofa the other night and he sent me a video on WhatsApp and I never received it until I actively opened WhatsApp. I don’t think the ticks are overly reliable.

Why do you care?

Do you think hes lying?
Or are you annoyed at the lack of attention because you were ill and he showed no concern?

If my husband didnt text me for an eveninga, i dont stress if he says he fell asleep i'd believe him. What is it youre annoyed at?

If you dont trust him why are you with him?
