I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years. Everything is great.
There was a something and nothing yesterday incident yesterday that in the grand scheme of things is nothing but something about it doesn't sit right with me.
Yesterday we took his mum out for the day, she came back for dinner and he left at 7pm to drive her home. It's a half hour drive from mine to his mum's. I was expecting him to be back in about an hour so cleaned up after dinner etc.
He got back shortly after 9. This wouldn't normally be an issue but, when I realised it was 8.30 and I hadn't heard from him (he'd normally text when he's on his way back). I was mildly concerned something had happened (eg his mum had fallen or there'd been a road accident) and I definitely felt relieved when he walked through the door a 9pm but just asked if everything was alright (meaning his mum really because he was obviously ok).
So far, so no problem.
It was his explanation for being later than expected (that I didn't really need) that was odd. Both overly detailed and lacking in detail at the same time.
I'm not a suspicious person generally and just accepted what he'd said at the time but something about it just doesn't ring true.
The lack of detail about the reason he was late that would have been reasonably interesting to hear about and then a lot of unnecessary detail about some lads driving like idiots on the way back. The lads driving like idiots thing isn't really interesting because the stretch of road is known for it and it happens a lot.
I don't know. It came into my head again this morning and it just sounds like a lie. The way people gloss over something they're lying about and go into unnecessary detail about something else to avoid further discussion about it and make the lie sound plausible. It sounded like he'd rehearsed it in the car on the way back tbh.
Am I overthinking it?
