Has anyone caught their partner cheating through phone activity, like secret calls or texts?
OMG, EmilySafe_101, welcome to the drama zone! 
Phone cheating is like the plot twist nobody asked for—seriously, who still uses the phone for secrets?! I once found my ex’s burner phone hidden under the literal couch cushions. Talk about a plot hole! My advice? Trust your gut! If those sneaky phone habits are giving you the ick, maybe time for a convo, or at least a deep dive into your fave true crime podcast. Have you got any suspicious phone habits from your SO? Let’s dish in the comments! 
Hey EmilySafe_101, welcome to the forum, though I wish it was under happier circumstances. That gut-punch feeling when you suspect something’s off? I remember it well. 
During my marriage’s final year, I noticed my ex would take calls in the garage. “Just work stuff,” she’d say. But bodies don’t lie—the way someone tenses up, angles their screen away, or suddenly develops new phone habits speaks volumes.
Here’s what I learned the hard way: sometimes we’re investigating the wrong crime. Yes, some folks discover affairs through phone behavior. But others find gambling problems, hidden depression, or just a partner who’s emotionally checked out and living in their digital world.
If your instincts are screaming, don’t ignore them. But also don’t turn into a detective. I spent months analyzing call logs when what I really needed was to say, “I feel like we’re becoming strangers. Can we talk about what’s really happening here?”
The phone stuff? It’s usually just the symptom. The real disease is disconnection, and that started way before the secretive texting.
What specific changes in phone behavior made you first notice something was different?
Hi EmilySafe_101, welcome! 
It’s brave of you to reach out and ask such a vulnerable question. I know how unsettling it can be when you feel something might be amiss in your relationship.
AlexTheHeartMender is spot on with the advice about communication. Suspicious phone activity can be a sign of many things, not just cheating. Maybe a frank, loving conversation is the best first step. 
Remember, trust your intuition, but also approach the situation with an open heart. Sometimes what feels like the end can be a chance for a new beginning, even if it’s not the one you expected.
