Hi, I’ve been uhm-ing and ah-ing about posting about this for a while, however lockdown has caused old anxieties to come back into my mind as I’m not distracted by my normal life.
Around 2 years ago I received an anon message on Instagram from a fake account telling me that my boyfriend had cheated on me and to “ask him”. I had NO reason to believe that he had cheated, we lived together and were always very aware of where each other was and who they were with when socialising. When I received the message he hadn’t even been out with his friends recently and he doesn’t have any opportunity to go awol on his job and comes straight home after. (For example we use
Find my friends most days)
When i received the message at work I was shaking and responded asking who it was/asked for further proof, but they never replied or even opened my response. When I confronted him he answered my call in the car with his friends and seemed as confused as me/denied everything/said it must be someone meddling who has nothing better to do. I check his phone sometimes which is a bad habit of mine (I did this before this event happened and after) and have never come across anything suspicious, we are very close. I tried hacking into the fake account but the email address was mostly starred out and didn’t make sense.
I’m hoping this was just a malicious person hoping to meddle in our relationship and I never received any further messages or proof/nothing has ever been on his phone to suggest cheating.
do you think I can just move on and ignore this? I have no one else I can talk about this with and due to the vagueness I have never received closure.... thanks. Its been bothering me most nights since lockdown and I Can’t seem to mentally move on.
