Hi ladies, just looking for some advice as to whether or not you feel I have totally overreacted to a situation that occured last night with my partner of around 8 months.
So we were sat watching a Youtube video on his phone when a Tinder notification with a pink heart and some text popped up on the top bar of his phone. Before I had chance to read the text, he swiped it from the screen in a panic. Initially I tried to ignore it but after observing his behaviour recently and noting that his phone is pretty much glued to him most of the time, I asked what it was. He claimed he didn't know. Visibly panicking, he started scrolling aimlessly through hs emails then went to review a solicitors in his area (which if not for the fact my gut was going loony was actually hilarious).
I stated that it clearly wasn't an email, so where had the notificatuon gone and what was it. Asked him to show me his Tinder account (we met on POF so knew he'd likely had one at some point. He complained that he'd have to download the app, to which I asked him to do. He then went up to the toilet and was in there for a stupidly long period of time.
At this point I lost my temper and asked him to leave, which he did with no issue.
This morning, once I'd calmed down, I rang and asked for the truth, saying that as far as I'm aware if a user had been inactive for 8 months he should not still be receiving notifications. He responded that he had the app installed until around a month of us seeing each other but then deleted it. Went on to say that he had received 2-3 notifications since then saying 'new activity', but had only opened one of them 2 weeks ago out of curiosity, saw he had a few likes then came off it.
I call bullshit (and consequently was actually incredibly nasty before I hung up, which with hindsight was shit). Am I wrong? Have I been played for a fool here?
Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me decipher this mess.
