Was that text for me?

[Kennycalmit]

Name changed.

Over my partners house, I’ve come upstairs to make a phone call. Literally only been up here 30 seconds when I get a text

“I could do you a very fun swap”.

Then straight after “sorry, wasn’t for you”

I’m now in the bathroom wondering what it meant and who it was for

Obviously I’m gunna ask him once he comes up.

I feel like I read this forum too much. I have no reason to not trust him but I’ve read too many posts on here about similar circumstances to know what this sometimes means

Why, NotMy? He presumably needed to send the text this evening if he was making arrangements for tomorrow, and he also needed not to delay too long. It could well be that OP talking about her call reminded him that he needed to send it. What difference would it have made if he'd sent the text 10 minutes later?

I'd still LTB lol

What is suspect is the very second your back is turned, he's firing off a text to someone... That would make me a bit suspicious.

Or perhaps he was using his manners and not texting while he was spending time with his girlfriend. She went to make a call, he used the opportunity to sort his arrangements.

You both make a good point and it probably is nothing. However, it is enough to bother the OP (and she knows him best). It's the contents/context of the text combined with doing it the second she turns her back that would make me possibly wonder. If as previously suggested, she could see the text msg exchange between her DP/DH and the original intended recipient that would probably clear things up.

not - i suggest you read her update. she did see the conversation between them. all above board.

Great!

I also didn't think there was anything suspicious, as he immediately sent "sorry, wasn’t for you”.

If he was up to something good, he wouldn't have sent that.

My first thought was swapping players in fantasy football lol!

That’s made me laugh

Thanks guys. Goes to show sometimes there really are genuine explanations for things

This has made me happy. SO many MN posts end up awful and this has raised my spirits! Thanks for posting! xx

Pleased it was all innocent

I had something similar a few days ago, DP was showing me something on their phone and a message from the best friend came up "so are you going to meet her???"

I didn't mention anything at the time for some reason.

Panicked all day then snuck a look on the phone and it was totally innocent and about a cousin DP had fallen out with.

Felt guilty for feeling suspicious then!

Aha! I was completely stuck as the sentence he texted made no sense to me whatsoever!

@CrispsAndDip

Glad it was all innocent for you too! I can totally understand why you thought the worst though I 100% would have as well in that situation!

It crossed my mind to snoop but I really didn’t want to. That’s why I’m glad he showed me the text last night as it meant my mind was at ease without having to look at his phone. I reckon he sensed I was a little bit suspicious that’s why he showed me.
