DP lying about messages?

[GenUnsure]

DP was away this weekend and I sent some messages on Friday night which registered as delivered (full coloured box with tick). He didn't read them for about 24 hours and when he came back he claimed that he hadn't seen them because he had no reception. But they were delivered???? Just not opened?

He was somewhere remote so it's plausible he had no reception but I'm confused as to how these msgs registered as delivered but yet he says he didn't see them because no reception?

He's got form for lying and this could well be the death of the relationship so any knowledge would be appreciated.

Ps. NC for this but long time member.

Hi op this is a message that I have sent to a friend last night , this shows the message has been delivered and it's on their phone as a notification but she's not yet opened it x

On FB messenger the tick turns to a little version of their profile picture once they've read it.

Sorry but this is why I would never use this method of messaging. I reply my to people when I choose to, regardless of when I read the message. I HATE the thought of people knowing if I've read it or not.

I have a somewhat embarrassing update. So it turns out the messages HAD delivered so he would have them - but to his iPad that was upstairs in our bedroom 😂

It has at least given us the chance to talk sensibly about my issues with trust. He knows he's caused them and his acceptance of that is very reassuring.

Thanks all for the advice.

It doesnt matter. You dont trust him. Move on.

But he read them when he got to his car? I'm confused!

I wouldn't bother being in a relationship with him if an issue as small as this was grounds to end the relationship

I had a connectivity issue recently. This applies only to my (work) email, but may be similar to your issue.

My connection was going up and down like a trampolinist on acid. I could see my inbox and every time the internet connected, it would refresh and more emails would drop in (so they were delivered) but opening them was a nightmare - the connection would cut and it would not load. If I did manage to get the email to load and type a reply, I could not send it.

I just gave up and didn't even try checking my inbox after that. Too depressing. Got it sorted in the end, but was practically chewing the laptop in frustration.
