Default confused and hurt

so we have really been working on things and it has been going a lot better. This morning he got a text but he was asleep and the phone was in the living room. It was a number that was not saved and i did not know who it was. It said i am horny and need some d*ck. He swears he doesnt know who it is. He tried to call and no one answered and they would not text back. I dont know what to believe. It really hurts to think that he may be seeing someone else.

Look up your cell phone records to see if that number has been texted to/from before. If your phone company doesn't provide those details, call them and say that you need to get your account's call details for your personal records and need the last 3 months' worth.

We don't have a phone plan. We have straight talk. We buy our cards monthly.

Do you have the nr from where the text was sent? In his text/phone history on the phone does it show any other texts/phones from that nr? If you have the nr try a reverse phone lookup website such as Switchboard or whitepages and get details about the phone nr. It might cost couple of dollars to get the details. I dont know if there are free websites?

Since I do not know your whole story, has he cheated emotionally or physically in the past? Did he used to be private about his phone, for example, when it rang would he leave the room, did he get nervous when you asked to see who he was texting?

Cheaters have a mantra - DENY DENY UNTIL YOU DIE. Do you believe what he tells you? Mistakes can be made. It could just be someone texted the wrong number, but if he has participated in this kind of behavior in the past, you may have to come to grips with the fact that he is lying to you.

The trouble is, WHO WANTS TO BE A PRIVATE DETECTIVE? You didn't sign up for that job. Sometimes when we try to be sneaky and look for clues of bad things, we often find bad things we wish we didn't know. What does your gut tell you? What advice would YOU give someone who wrote exactly what you wrote in your post?

I would not be surprised if this is possible. I know phone calls can be mixed up as it's happened to me. I called a friend but was connected to someone else while my friend was connected to the person who was trying to reach the person I was talking to... Make sense? Lol That happened multiple times but only when I would try to reach that same friend.

It may be a wrong number because when he called, no one answered..A relationship is about trust and if you will doubtful then it can't survive for long time. You can't doubt your relation on one wrong call.

I'mmmm back!!!

My motto... trust... but verify!!!

If he has never given you a reason to suspect him of cheating, i would not lose my mind over this. It very well could be wrong number. But if i were you i'd keep that number. Call it yourself, at a later date, just to see what happens. But as it stands, the text didn't mention him by name, not already saved, and if his phone didn't show prior logs of this as in incoming or outgoing number. I'd leave it alone.

Agree with Dave. Relationships completely lie on trust. Without having trust relationship cannot go for a longer time. That is my opinion. If you really trust him then just forget about that call or message and happily lead your life.

I have had people text me that were for the old owner of my number and I have had my phone for ten years. So it could have been a mistake or may be not.

Do a reverse check on the number and then write it down and stash it away (to check out if it happens again).

Once is a mistake, twice might be a coincident, the third time is a problem. You don't want to ignore this kind of text. But it is not enough to build a life destroying reaction on.
Keep your eyes open.

But I'd go a little farther... once is a mistake and twice is a problem.
