TheGagagirl1234 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 My mother's boyfriend has been acting strange lately. He doesn't ask me and my siblings about our lives anymore. He has been more distant, and he has got new smart clothes. Yesterday he went to a christmas lunch with his ex and his mother. When he returned he had a huge spot on his shirt, and he didn't even clean it. He normally always does that when his clothes are dirty. It was like he didn't care if the spot was there or not. It is not possible that he didn't know it was there. Someone at the christmas lunch would definitely notice the spot and tell him. Yesterday evening when he was about to go to bed, I noticed that he used his phone, which he has been doing much more lately. I politely asked him what he was doing, and he quickly put his phone on the table with the screen downwards. He has never done that before, and that made me very suspicious because he's not the type who plays online games, and he doesn't even use Facebook and other social media websites. He just told me that he was checking the news, but why should he hide it? I'm really worried right now. What should I do? Sorry for grammar mistakes if there are some.
d0nnivain Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 While some of that sounds like stuff that can be evidence of an affair (the new clothes & the hiding the phone) it's all in your mind at this point. All of it has reasonable explanations. The spot on his shirt means nothing. Keep your eyes & ears open but don't share your suspicions with anyone at this point.
Beach Guy Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Maybe your mother and boyfriend have entered the more relaxed phase of dating (in which little things like spots don't matter so much). But not asking you and your siblings about your daily lives is a flag... unless replies he's gotten in the past from you are eyerolls and other evasive answers.

That's exactly why I got this horrible feeling. My mother and him live together so I don't know why he acts this way.
Anderlie Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I would stay out of your mother's business. She's an adult, let her handle it. For all you know he's given her a perfectly reasonable explanation for his behaviour in private.
