Taking phone into bathroom

sorry for name change
would you be suspicious if your oh took his mobile into the bathroom with him when he went for a bath or shower? he never leaves it lying around unless he's nearby and when he gets a bath he takes it in there with him. Tonight I saw the outline of the phone in his dressing gown pocket as he was going into the bathroom so said "why do you always take your phone in the bathroom??" and he got quite defensive and said "I don't, my wallet is my pocket too because I have nowhere else to put them" Hmm in an entire house he has nowhere else to put a wallet and a phone while he gets a bath??
so as he was getting ready for his bath I noticed he put his wallet on the mantelpience but not his phone so I said "remember your phone when you get in the bath" a little sarcastically and he said "actually I'm taking it in there to play games on" Hmm
so should I be suspicuous then? I have looked on it before and there was never anything dodgy but why is he so protective over it? I know he deletes messages and texts at wierd times (like when he's on toilet, door locked etc).
But I never find anything incriminating. Maybe he's TRYING to make me paranoid??

RawDEal - hope this turns out to be nothing but my X took second phone into toilet on one particular occasion. I knew he was textin/facebookin OW so went to check he was ok. He pretended he had bad stomach so I left him. I remained in bedroom until he came out WITHOUT PHONE. I went into bathroom after and found phone in waste bin. He used to leave all sent/received history but then started deleting recent txts but not ones months old from mates/me. Needless to say my heart dropped to the floor when I did find odd texts from OW he had not deleted and it all became real. Check the phone,the suspicion will torture you more and more. So sorry for you. x

This has been bothering me a lot
My boyfriend almost every time will bring his phone to the bathroom with him

A while back I looked through his phone and found something I didn't want to and I addressed it with him
And we have been working on trust
He promises me that nothing would ever happen again that he loves me too much and he actually cried hard

But he still brings his phone to the bathroom but not his speaker so I know it's not music

I want to straight up ask him why but I don't want to create an argument
I don't want to leave him but it's starting to really upset me

ZOMBIE ALERT!

maybe start your own thread about this issue?

I've recently started carrying mine everywhere... I have a v young baby and if I'm welded to the sofa feeding him it's good to have the web. And whatsapp so I can talk to dh and ask for more tea... ;)
I'm absolutely not having an affair :)

I don't think carrying it everywhere is an issue, but being secretive is.

I'm like this. I play with my phone on the loo and in the bath. I also sleep with my phone under my pillow.I literally don't even talk to other men and I'd be seriously pissed off if my OH suspected me based on that alone.

It could be something, it could be nothing. Check his phone if you feel you must but just be mindful that you could find something you don't want to see. Ignorance is bliss unfortunately :(
I do hope it's nothing Flowers

Sounds dodgy. He may be deleting the msgs as soon as he has read them.

If you looked thru his contacts, could you spot any suspicious persons?

I thought for a moment that WWIFN had come back. Bugger.

dementedma · 31/12/2015 22:19

I delete all my messages. Hate a cluttered in box or loads of texts and whatsapps. Doesn't mean I'm having an affair though

Zombie thread from 2010, then resurrected in 2015. I didn't check the dates either. 😕
