Emotional affair? Cheating? Or am I paranoid?

Hi,

I will try keep this as brief as possible. Been with DH since we were teenagers. We are now early 30's with 2 DC's. I felt he has been distant for a few months, to the point where I broke down last week, cried and told him. He said nothing is wrong, and the day to day is tiring, but that is all. We both work full time, both earn the same money (both on 50k), but obviously when you're trying to work, run a household (cooking/cleaning/washing), and the never ending extra circular activities for the children it does wear us out.

When we were younger (24), he had an affair with a work colleague, eventually came back to me. I forgive him because we were so young, and I know no different. He swore to me nothing like this would happen again, and he has no time for it to happen again in all honesty. He fell asleep last night and I had this urge to check his phone. I couldn't find anything, so I checked his blocked contacts in WhatsApp. Low and behold, there is a number blocked from 3rd July. I've checked the photo and it's a woman (

Could be innocent like a pp I had some recruitment women message me recently and i blocked her and I've had other random even try calling me too. I'd just tell him what you saw if it was me.

All the best op

He thinks I've been through his phone because he fell asleep downstairs, and I took the phone upstairs and left it there. When he went on it, all the apps were closed. So he knows I went on it. I haven't been happy for around 6 months

Ring the number or ask him and tell him you looked as he's been so off recently. You need to be clear to him you'd like the truth.
