Rang my boyf - a woman answered

LegacyUser

i just rang my boyf on the number i have saved on my phone, so it couldnt be a wrong number. A woman answered and when i asked for my boyf she told me i had the wrong number, then hung up. Im so confused...is he cheating on me? I would never thought he would do that, i trust him 100% and i generally know where he is most of the time (or at least i thought i did) - he's not secretive, he doesnt go out to clubs or pubs and we spend a lot of time together.

I dont know what to do, how do i confront him on this?

I know my phone at times has rang the wrong number despite me ringing the saved number, so it's possible this happened with you. Couldn't be sure. Ask him about it, I guess.

Um ... surely a good start would be to tell him what happened?!

Calm down! Take a deep breath! It's far, far more likely that it is indeed a wrong number, either dialled or just a dodgy connection or some other innocent explanation. Either way it's a huge leap from someone saying you have a wrong number to your boyfriend cheating - tell him about it, get him to check the received calls to see if your call went awol.

There could be innumerable innocent explanations before jumping to the conclusion that he must be cheating.

I rarely let others answer my phone and I certainly wouldn't leave my girl on the side answer my phone! I really think if he was cheating he wouldn't allow this happen.

Talk to him.
I know that in 2010 we are not used to crossed lines - but a few years ago 1 time in 20 or 30 the number you rang would be incorrect - our technology would end up getting a different number for you.

It does sound dodgy right now though - but every few weeks I get calls on my mobile asking me to deliver gas for some folks down the country...

There could be 101 things behind this
a) crossed line
b) a friend messing about
c) a family member messing about
d) lost/stolen mobile
e) another woman

Just talk to him and ask who answered his phone on x-date. Take it from there and don't accuse out of the blue - unless you already know something is going on...

This happened to me with a text message where my bf received a message from a stranger and my message went God knows where, lines can get crossed or the signal can get confused. Why ask here instead of asking your boyfriend directly? Communication is key...

An ex and I had come back from a holiday a few years ago. I rang his phone and some completely different guy answered. Rang a few times, same wrong number despite dialling the correct number. Turns out his phone company had redirected his phone by accident or something !! The poor guy on the wrong number had ex's family and friends ringing him all day lol

Texts got through though - text him and see if he can ring you or whatever

Yep this crossed line stuff still happens. Not as much as in the past mind, but enough to cause issues like this. Because it doesnt happen that often nowadays we all assume the system is 100%. Its still very fancy tech going on and that tech can fail. Like bluewolf said texts usually get through(though I've had them go astray too).

Did you try ringing him again?

Write down the number from your phone and ring from a landline.

Seiously don't let something as silly as this give you doubts.

One if my friends was trying to ring me lately and some guy answered the phone. It happened a couple of times before. Crossed network or something.

If something like this happens it's a good idea to ask is this 08x xxxxxxx?

That way if you dialed a wrong number or there is some mix up with the network you will know.

A girl got really stroppy with me one day! She rang my number and asked for "Michael". I told her she had the wrong number, she said "I don't", I said "You do", she said.....

you get the message.

So I hung up and my phone rang again. Same girl.. "Can I speak to Michael please?" - "You have the wrong number.." "I don't have the wrong number I can see the number I rang in front of me and it's the right number!" "Well you've been given the wrong number then" "I KNOW the number I need..."
(She never called out the number she was looking for and I never volunteered mine!)

So SHE hung up. Once more my phone rang, and it was a fella.. "Hello, is Michael there?" "No, I told that girl that you have the wrong number" "Oh, I'm really sorry about that, I don't know what's going on. Sorry"

That was it!

Have you any reason to doubt your bf?

Lost count of the number of wrong number calls I've had, also had people call, tell me the number they want (which is my number) and insist it's the right number and basically it's not my phone?

It happens, for whatever reason. Also had texts not meant for me, same deal where they insist it's the right number. Even had one where it was a girl (I'm a guy by the way) saying she'd had an excellent night last night, would love to see me again xxx.

That could have been the end of my relationship as my girlfriend was sitting beside me, phone was on the table in front of us and the message was plainly visible.

Thankfully we'd stayed in the night before so obviously a wrong number. Wouldn't be surprised though if a lot of relationships break up over this type of thing!
