OP I'm concerned that given the right circumstances, you might buy some magic beans.
Don't let him insult your intelligence, because that's what's he's doing right now. No one has two personal phones for the dumb ass reasons he's feeding you.

Answer those damn phones

He is apparently also switching from two work phones to one while they work out contract stuff I think.

What do you mean by "he uses it for internet"? Does he actually surf the web on the phone itself, or does he use the phone as a hotspot for wifi? If the latter, I might believe it because using your phone as a hotspot drains the battery very quickly. That's a really expensive hotspot, though.

Not true I do this all the time and battery life (of my 6) last for hours and hours and hours even on the hotspot

My point was that it drains the battery quite quickly compared to when not using it as a hot spot, leaving you with a low battery while out and about. I know because I use my phone as a hot spot sometimes.

I'm sorry, OP. You're not crazy.

Damn, we came this close to getting past 2 pages without a gaslight. I knew it was too good to be true.

Seriously, what is wrong with you people suggesting she pick up his phone and answer it herself, or go snooping? Because his phone rang and he apparently wants to ignore it? BtW, if it was a call, it would keep ringing. One ring or vibrate is just a pesky notification. When you buy a new phone, ALL the damn notifications are enabled by default.

My phone would sound off all day long if I let it with notifications from e-mail to Facebook to pending weather and all kinds of crap. And yes, it even rings, and sometimes, I ignore it. There is no obligation to respond to every call or text. If the guy has a secret lover, I'm sure he knows how to be discreet, including silencing his phone.

The phrase gaslighting is so overused in this forum. I think you can set an email tone to be whatever you want--like my dad's text tone is one that most people use as a ringer so that part could be true. But I am a PP and I agree that having all these phones is HIGHLY suspicious.

But it was a constant vibrating. Emails would make the ringtone sound once or vibrate once. They don't vibrate over and over like a phone call does. That's why he's gaslighting her.

Okay, I'm trying to work with you on this.

Phone One: Personal for family who hounds him all the time. He doesn't want them having his "real" personal number. A way of avoiding direct contact with tiresome family members. Or, the opposite? Like in Love Actually, he needs a line that his troubled brother can call him on and he treats it as an emergency line?
Phone Two: His "real" phone. The one you and all his friends call him on.
Phone Three: The first phone he got at or for work. Congressman needs direct line. Patient line? Something.
Phone Four: Actually the new "office phone" and they really are working on the contract issue. Bought/issued phone number three before release from contract because it was on sale (despite being the newest iPhone 7).

Sure. That's it exactly. Right, OP?

A second phone just for internet??? Come ON OP.

I agree with PP that this thread has significant bobcat-level potential. Keep us posted OP!

I don't know if he's cheating, but he is certainly blowing smoke up your ass about something. And many things I'm willing to bet bc you sound incredibly gullible

Girl... GIRL. You know he's lying. You don't need us to tell you that.

Normally I think the people of DCUM are too quick to jump to a "he's cheating!" conclusion, but in this case I have to concur. No normal person has two "personal cell phones." And no normal person actually believes one is "just for internet."

LOL

I see a lot of potential in this thread, could it be the next bobcat, or hairbrush thread? Only time will tell!
