Should I Be Suspicious Of These Messages

[user1485389288]

DW and I have been together about 20 years since we were 19/20. Last night she was showing me how to archive WhatsApp messages and I saw a glimpse of some odd ones. Rightly or wrongly I had a look while she was sleeping; about 6 years ago she received 1 message saying;
‘Hey beautiful did you get home OK?Lol’ from 1 number, and another saying
’Heyyyyy 😘😘 Remember me🙊’
from another one.
there are no replies to either and they were archived in 2020.

we’re going though a bit of a rocky patch, neither of us are great communicators, do I just leave it or should I ask her? If I ask her any advice on how to ask, she’s quite fiery, doesn’t like being confronted or disagreeing with

I don’t think I could know that and not ask. I’d need to know

yes, it’s eating me away a bit

I would ask OP, you were shown the messages so it’s not even like you were snooping, you couldn’t help but notice.

I would need to ask and I agree with the others that you should, just say you saw them when she showed you her phone.
The only thing I will say though is I have a couple of friends who are so over friendly in messages etc loads of emojis and pet names but we've known each other years and it's just how they are. It may be innocent 😊 good luck

Well, she didn’t reply, that’s a good thing

As they were never answered or deleted for a number of years I would think there was an innocent explanation. I received a couple of messages years ago thanking me for a fantastic night which I know weren't intended for me.

Difficult to 'unsee' those messages now. Think I'd throw caution to the wind and ask. Try and Prepare yourself though, you probably won't relish what you hear.

Apologies for the slight drip feed, the one with the emoji’s was definitely a man as his profile picture was still showing on the WhatsApp

Agree a possibility

Agree a possibility sent in error

Single messages from 6 years ago that she never replied to,
Seriously?
it’s clearly nothing. Most likely just wrong number. Happens occasionally.

If you are going through a rough patch - deal with issues you actually have in the relationship right now. There is no need to make up more ‘issues’.

They are 6 years old and she never replied.

The one asking her if she got home okay in reality is probably a friend;maybe after a night out;my friends do this to me.

The one asking her if she remembers them;could be a wrong number or someone she knew previously and doesn't want to engage with;you'll be surprised at how many men proposition attached women;it's also happened to me and I've either ignored them or told them to get lost.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

No I would not query my husband over six year old messages that he never replied to and which I found after I had been trawling through his phone whilst he slept. (And I am not saying I wouldn’t have looked through the phone if I had suspicions about something).

How do you know she didn't reply? Maybe she just deleted the replies but kept those as a 'reminder'.
Also, why would you archive mistakenly sent messages instead of deleting them.?
I'd be suspicious and I'm not particularly suspicious in general.

I only archive because I'm not sure how to permanently delete and it's just done with a swipe
Suspicious of what?
Sorry darling I'm concerned that 6 years ago you showed no interest at all in conversing with two people that messaged you.

If someone posted here saying a weirdo messaged them even from the past they would be told delet and forget, this woman has done that and that's it

She didn't reply but she archived...

I once got a slightly risqué message from a boyfriend of my daughters. These things happen. I didn’t embarrass the poor boy by mentioning it but my husband and I had a good chuckle over it.

The first one: "Hey beautiful did you get home OK?Lol’" is something one of my close female would say, that or hello gorgeous. The second message sounds like a chancer, to whom you say she didn't reply.

So no, I wouldn't be worried.
