Have I done something stupid?

Hi everyone.
Need some advice, 3 years ago my husband was always talking and texting a female colleague out of work hours and not regarding work, I checked his phone and saw the messages ,anyway we had massive arguments over this and he stopped and it took a good while for things to settle and for us to move on. 3 years ago when I checked his phone I saved this colleagues
Number thinking I could see on WhatsApp when they were talking to each other, stupid I know.
Anyway fast forward to yesterday I saw her WhatsApp status a her number was still saved on my phone, I was at a party today and my husband called me to say if I had her number saved and I blatantly denied it and he said she told him i checked her status🙈 and he said that I wouldn't buy she showed him
My number at which point again I stupidly denied, apparently she has my number as with all his colleagues in case if work alarm contact which he only told me today 🙈
Anyway there was loud music and kids running around at the party so I didn't say much apart from I don't have her number and didn't check nothing, he obviously didn't believe me so just said check
My contacts and deletes her number if I have it.
I don't know why I denied it coz now I look stupid, what can I do now, how can I save myself from this humiliation especially after denying it. It's so embarrassing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just to back up op. You can see who has seen your status

Angelf1sh · 02/04/2018 18:59

That symbol only appears for my own page, not for any of my contacts. I still don’t understand how she could have done this. But anyway as I said sometime ago, this isn’t the issue. The issue to be worried about is why she told him and why he sided with her. There’s something going on op.

MoreMoneyMoreProblems · 02/04/2018 18:59

This is what comes up. You can check who's viewed it

RebelRogue · 02/04/2018 18:59

Did you check if she looked at yours?Grin

Thing is 1. He can't demand you delete it 2. If she has yours,you can have hers 3. If she has yours in case of emergency,then you're keeping hers because you don't answer unknownnumbers.

Samsan1 · 02/04/2018 18:59

Hecticlife
I'm thinking I may have to say that as I guess I could say I've had her number since 3 years and never checked before so why would I check yesterday

I've just looked into this. Where op has highlighted the status symbol in red, if you click on that you can add a status update which stays on for 24 hours. There is a thing that shows you how many people view the status. I'm guessing when the status is viewed it shows who has viewed it. Never looked at it before! I've posted a status on mine and waiting to see what happens!

MoreMoneyMoreProblems · 02/04/2018 19:00

If you click into it. It'll show you who viewed (obviously no one likes me enough to view mine! Blush).

Moremoneymorwproblems thanks for clarifying

RebelliousStarrChild · 02/04/2018 19:01

say you reset you phone and it must have downloaded her details from 3 years ago. If you did check the status by accident you didn't realise it was hers as you were not paying attention, then move on to why she is making an issue out of this and trying to make it a big deal. That's what I would do anyway Wink

Samsan1 · 02/04/2018 19:03

Thanks rebellious, will definitely have to come up
With something

Flyingpompom · 02/04/2018 19:04

Ok, I've found it, sorry for being snippy. However, I can see all my WhatsApp contacts' statuses by scrolling through, I don't have to click on them individually.

Something is off here, OP, and it's not you.

OnionKnight · 02/04/2018 19:04

You fucked up, own your mistake.

Denying it again and again makes you look like an idiot.

Samsan1 · 02/04/2018 19:05

Flying pompom yes but once you click on it your contact can see you checked their status

OP posts:
Samsan1 · 02/04/2018 19:06

Onion hold my
Hands up there

OP posts:
Flyingpompom · 02/04/2018 19:09

Click on what? The status? I'm just saying you can read it without clicking on it. So does it show up as viewed every time someone scrolls through their contact list?

She is very, very paranoid to be checking this. I'm sorry to say this but I would not rule out that she is shagging your husband!

RebelRogue · 02/04/2018 19:10

Write her number down,delete her and say you have no idea what's going on and you had more important things to do at the party than check for numbers,contacts and statuses.

Gemini69 · 02/04/2018 19:12

It's interesting that she also 'stored' your number... and she grasses you up to your DH.. Big CLIPE ... instead of simply Blocking you.. which would be a normal response to someone unwanted looking at your Status .. I use Whatsapp Status most days.. it's fun and yes I can see who looks at my Status.. your not the bad guy.. tell them both to piss off with their conspiracy theories.. and you're explaining yourself to nobody.... afterall He started this Crap... Flowers

Flyingpompom · 02/04/2018 19:15

To bring it up in front of others is very odd.

OnionKnight · 02/04/2018 19:15

Write her number down,delete her and say you have no idea what's going on and you had more important things to do at the party than check for numbers,contacts and statuses.

But the work colleague has it in black and white that the OP checked her status, if the OP deletes her number and lies she's digging a bigger hole.

Bufferingkisses · 02/04/2018 19:16

Or say "hang on, she's got my number wtf am I not allowed hers? She can control who sees her social media if she wants to. This has come about because of the actions of you two not me now get off my back and speak to your unprofessional colleague about her behaviour" Hmm

Samsan1 · 02/04/2018 19:16

Rebel yes I already deleted her number that's what I will do,
Gemini yes well said 👌🏻she decided shouldn't have told him or anions day rather blocked me

TatianaLarina · 02/04/2018 19:19

Thing is I do believe you when you say you’d forgotten you even had her number, it’s the kind of thing you could have been doing absent mindedly or mistaken her for someone else - depending on whether you’ve saved her number or her name. The fact you were intentionally looking is not that important in the general scheme of things because it was quite random.

Very unprofessional of her to bring something up so minor yet personal in a meeting.

Samsan1 · 02/04/2018 19:20

Tatiana absolutely very unprofessional can you imagine what the whole management team are thinking

Apparently you can see who has viewed, but she is weird to bring it up in a meeting
