The phone doesn't say anything when you turn it upside down

My spouse has recently been putting their phone either in their pocket or turning it face down on the table when they come home. The other evening, I asked, ‘Is something going on, is there a problem?’ but they said, ‘No, no, I just feel comfortable that way.’ It wasn’t like this before; we used to read WhatsApp groups together. Now it feels like they are constantly acting evasively. Am I overthinking this? Or should I just ask directly?

Well, I’ve heard about this phone flipping thing before. They say that those who do this have another woman on their WhatsApp. I hope you don’t have that situation, but it happened to quite a girl. Be careful.

@mahrem_saf this is completely false information. Some people put the phone upside down to avoid distraction. And immediately saying ‘there’s another woman’ is a serious accusation. I think you’ve misunderstood the situation.

I think there’s another issue here. The phrase “no, no, I’m fine” is very vague. You used to read WhatsApp together, but now this seems like evasive behavior. If I were you, I would investigate, you never know what might come out of it.

@dedikoducu actually, this isn’t the first time; he used to go out frequently at night on the phone, saying he was ‘talking to someone from the company.’ Recently, he seems to have calmed down, but then this reversal issue started.

If I look at it from a man’s perspective, let me say this: sometimes we change our behavior just so we don’t have a headache. I mean, we have no intention of bringing up the topic; it’s purely for comfort. But, talking on the phone outside does attract a bit of attention, so it needs to be connected and questioned.

It seems like you asked the guy there, but you didn’t follow up much; these things can’t be solved easily without talking. If he even shared those WhatsApp issues, you should appreciate it. Speak openly; sacrifice is reciprocal.
