hi guys....

this dilema is for a friend of mine, unfortunately she isnt on internet for her to do herself so thought i'd ask for your advice ....

my friend is with a guy, ups and downs like always in relationships however she texd him sunday eve i believe around 6pm, and the tex came back as pending, she called me few hours after, as this is apparently totally out of character that hes phone was off hence she thought something was wrong,i told her to ring him which she did and it went onto voicemail.. my advice at the time was chill sit back and wait

however the tex didnt get delivered till 11am the next morning and he didnt reply to her,so she texd him again yesterday evening{personally i would of called}it got delivered and he replied saying he's phone was playing up and couldnt receive incoming calls, she texd him bac stating she didnt call she texd and that the tex was delivered at 11am and since she sent that he hasnt replied or phoned her

i no my opinion and shes so upset as she doesnt no whether to believe he was having probs with the phone or whether it was switched off and up to no good

does anyone have any idea on PHONES...

i so want to give her my advice but dont want to put my foot in it incase im wrong and my advice wud be...hun the phone was switched off cos for a tex to be delivered the following morning shows no prob with the phone/network

wiggles is verified as being by the original poster of the question

wiggles agony auntthanx for your reply mitch and fully appreciate your comments, however im not in there relationship to no the full ups and downs and ins and outs but what i do no from being told is that the battery wasnt dead and he just ,alledgely, said there was a problem but the phone seems perfectly in good working order after her tex was delivered,

i just wanted a bit of advice as its so easy to give it to an outsider however harsh and to the point but when its a friend its slightly harder as i can see it in a way differently to her

so i think i'll step back from her dilema and say what you suggested you need to talk to him, thanx

I think you're over reacting here. For a start, it depends on how serious your friend is with this guy.

So what if the text didn't get through and he didn't reply? Always give someone *at least* 24 hours to reply you start suspecting anything.

And so what if his phone was off? perhaps the battery went down and he couldn't be bothered to charge it? I'm like that.

And phones don't have a very long lifespan (hence why you get upgrades every year on contract phones) so they do have a habit of going wrong quite often (at least in my experience).

I think you all need to chill, your friend needs to speak to the guy, and trust him when he says his phone is broke. If you doesn't trust him over such a simple matter as this then theres probably not much hope for the relationship!
