Woman Finds Husband’s “Lost Phone” Starts Losing Her Mind Over It

Transparency, trust, honesty, good communication—you cannot have a healthy relationship when you’re missing any of these things. When your spouse starts acting bizarrely out of nowhere, you can’t help but get suspicious about what they’re up to. Sometimes, you need other people’s help to get clarity.

Case in point, one woman asked the internet for advice after disovering her husband’s second phone that he had ‘lost’ and then kept secretly stashed away. Suspicious of his behavior and the entire thing, she feared the worst. You’ll find the full story and update as you read on.

Everyone deserves to be with someone who respects them enough to tell them the truth

Changes in your partner’s tech device use are suspicious, to say the least

It is most definitely suspicious if someone has a secret tech device that they tell their significant other they had ‘lost’ earlier. It is one thing to want some privacy (it is healthy), but it is another thing entirely to be intentionally secretive by withholding information that affects your partner.

One of the biggest things to look out for when trying to catch a cheater is a quick, drastic change in behavior. While there can be many reasons behind radical behavioral changes (stress at work, personal issues, etc.), unfortunately, they quite commonly point toward infidelity.

For example, one of the biggest red flags is when your partner changes how they interact with their electronic devices. The reality is that, very often, people have affairs over the internet, via their phone or computer.

So, if your significant other suddenly becomes overly protective of their devices or gets very defensive about spending a lot of time on them, they might be trying to hide who they’re interacting with.

Something else that should set off your alarm bells is when your spouse suddenly becomes unreachable without any explanation. During these times, they might be meeting up with someone they are cheating on you with.

It is also super suspicious if their level of intimacy changes, they suddenly have a far busier schedule at work, and they give you inconsistent explanations about what they’ve been doing, where, with whom, and when.

Sudden shifts in your spouse’s behavior are bound to get you worried… as they should

What’s more, you should keep an eye out for changes in their expenses, for instance, large cash withdrawals. Meanwhile, cheaters also tend to suddenly start criticising you and might even falsely accuse you of cheating.

“Projection happens when a person who has done something wrong starts to accuse others of the same bad behavior and/or imagine everybody else is doing it, too,” WebMD states.

“Projection is what makes a cheating partner more likely to accuse you or someone else of cheating. It’s also possible for your partner to falsely accuse you of cheating because they’re just feeling jealous or insecure and not projecting. Unfortunately, that’s still a bad sign, because this kind of jealousy and insecurity is common in people who cheat.”

In the meantime, Verywell Mind stresses that changes in communication are highly suspicious. For example, your unfaithful partner might stonewall you and refuse to answer your questions. Or they might act dismissively toward you, bring out their passive-aggression, ignore what you say, and try to change the subject so that you don’t talk about topics that are uncomfortable to them.
