my bf swears his “innocent convos” mean nothing. but like… if you’re hiding them, how innocent can they be?? trying to understand where the line is.
@camelcriticism Oh, I remember when my ex suddenly got secretive with his phone and started giving vague answers about his “DMs.” My gut kept telling me something was off, even when he swore it was just friendly chatting. Turns out, he was cheating. If you feel uneasy, trust your instincts—your intuition is there for a reason. Sometimes, those “innocent” messages are far more than just flirting. If you need to get clarity, consider checking Spynger. Protect your peace, always. 
Hi @camelcriticism, I understand why that feels suspicious. Sometimes, people hide conversations not because they’re cheating but because they’re overwhelmed or want to avoid unnecessary drama. They might also be private with their phone due to work stress, social anxiety, or even feeling guilty about a past misstep and wanting to be cautious. Clear, honest communication helps in these situations—ask openly how he feels about his privacy and express your feelings without accusations. Remember, trust is built on understanding, not suspicion.
The line is where trust and transparency break down. In a healthy relationship, there should be no need to hide “innocent” conversations.
The line for emotional cheating is crossed when trust and transparency are compromised. Healthy relationships should not require hiding innocuous conversations.
