Is this out of order?

I was mid convo with someone yesterday and they just disappeared, which isn't unusual ... When they finally came back they said they'd been on the phone (2 hours and for someone who hates the phone seemed a little weird).

((Let me just say briefly - 99% of my friendships if someone had been gone for a length of time mid convo, they would have naturally said (as would I) 'oh, just been chatting to my son/friend/mum/daughter'.))

Anyway, will we call them Miss Shifty, they just said 'been on the phone' to which I didn't even think and said 'oh to who?' Not dreaming that this would be a problem.... Then they replied xxxxx.

There's a problem with the name they said. Firstly it was really late and only a few days previous they'd said this person likes to go to bed early, also, if it was said person they were speaking to, why not just say .. no big deal.

It's the whole shifty/sneaky behaviour that I think is weird... This person is a compulsive liar and in the time I've known them have lied about stuff constantly ...

I don't get why not just be honest at the beginning .... This person also loves to gaslight ... and then blame me for the reaction they've caused!

Anyway - because I asked the horrific question of 'to who' and then questioned they're authenticity (obviously due to the lying I've experienced in the past)... I was blocked....

Some people are just oddballs... in all my friendships I don't feel the need to be dishonest, gaslight or hide shit ..... It might not be 'any of their business' which is what was said to me - but it's just respectful ...

Anyway .. that's all.

Sorry but it's you who doesn't come off too well in this one.
Whether this person is a compulsive liar or not, they behaved the way most people would in response to your questioning and accusations afterwards.

@felulageller

I think that's normal in texts?
Yeah exactly, you don’t have to reply immediately to a text at all.

How bizarre.
