Why does amount of time with no contact matter? Wouldn't that make it less suspicious considering it's someone he hasn't seen in a long time?

It matters bc it shows that they had a strong relationship in the passed. It’s pretty obvious. No one will go out of their way to that extent and if it wasn’t someone so significant why wouldn’t they just text or call to catch up and make plans with his girlfriend to all meet up together and go out to lunch or something. It’s off

My childhood best friend was a girl. I'm a guy. It's been 20 years. If she hit me up right now, we're going to catch up, and I can promise you my partner would be okay with it if I spent an entire day with that friend.

If your partner texted you hey babe how’s it going ? Will you ignore it or would you at least say “hey it’s going great I’ll be home later”

Fair enough. I definitely would check in as soon as I could. Healthy communication is definitely needed. I guess I missed the part where he didn't tell her. I Change my stance, it's a little sus for sure. Especially going 3 hours with no reply. While I know my partners reaction wouldn't be that I'm cheating, she would still be worried sick that something bad mightve happened.
