What reason could a man have for not being on WhatsApp after 8pm on a Saturday night ?? Been messaging someone for a while (we can't meet due to lockdown! ) but I've noticed that for the last three weeks he disappears off WhatsApp after 8pm on a Saturday night, the rest of the time he is on WhatsApp regularly. Just curious !!

But why would it only ever be Sat nights if it was another woman? I’d assume lockdown would mean it doesn’t need to be scheduled into a set night as everyone has a lot of time on their hands now.

My ex has a virtual D&D group on Sat nights now / started about 3 weeks ago. Is he part of that?

Willowmartha1 · 03/05/2020 20:52

@rrocket I initially thought virtual pub quiz but I'm surprised he isn't online after that he has many, many friends seems odd that he wouldn't be on there at some point later in the evening!

Gaming?

Zoom pub with mates? We do virtual pub every Saturday night.

TheHighestSardine · 03/05/2020 20:17

Haha! I still think he's just gaming with the lads, I don't think you can derive anything relationship-breaking from an 8pm saturday evening regular event. Particularly at the moment when we're in lockdown.

Willowmartha1 · 03/05/2020 17:33

@thehighestsardine playing on his 'ex' box seems the likeliest scenario !!

OP posts:

TheHighestSardine · 03/05/2020 17:29

ex box.

Willowmartha1 · 03/05/2020 17:08

Yeah think it's the ex for sure ! Thanks everyone x

yes I did message last week but he didn't respond until the next morning

Was his phone off / only one grey tick?

If he’s with someone could be putting your thread on ignore when the ex is around or uninstall whatsapp....

Pub quiz, he would reply or read the message afterwards...

Willowmartha1 · 03/05/2020 01:11

@priya38 yes I am inclined to agree sadly, he mentioned a while ago that he was still in touch with his ex so I wonder if it's her...

OP posts:

priya38 · 03/05/2020 01:00

He must be seeing someone else but they're not living together. He only sees her on a Saturday night.

For it being any other reason surely he would text you back.

Willowmartha1 · 03/05/2020 00:57

@flamingiris yes

OP posts:

FlamingIris · 03/05/2020 00:52

Is he available later on other nights of the week?

@Willowmartha1 - what's worse is your FIL's wife trying to FaceTime you while you're mid nookie

Willowmartha1 · 03/05/2020 00:45

Maybe he's on a tag/curfew !!

@priya38 yes I did message last week but he didn't respond until the next morning

OP posts:

Willowmartha1 · 03/05/2020 00:43

@surlycurly yes it could be that he did one last Friday night.

OP posts:

priya38 · 03/05/2020 00:39

Saturday nights after 8pm he's not on WhatsApp 🤔
Have you tried messaging him during this time on Saturday night to see if he responds? I think that's what I'd first do.

surlycurly · 03/05/2020 00:39

Zoom pub type quizzes. I know load of people doing that sort of thing in a Friday or Saturday.

Sorry @Willowmartha1 - totally misread the tone of your post. I didn't mean to offend you.

@iklboo calm down !! I haven't been messaging him and expecting a reply !! I've just noticed that when I check WhatsApp he isn't online after 8pm I thought it was a one off but it's been the same for the last three weeks just find it odd that's all as he is constantly on line at all times of the day/evening the rest of the week.

OP posts:

iklboo · 03/05/2020 00:30

WhatsApp is not a summons. I often don't reply because I'm doing something else - watching a film, reading, chilling, phoning my folks, having a drink in peace. If you expected an immediate reply I'd remove you as a contact.

Focussing on Britain’s got talent 🤷🏼‍♀️
