If my boyfriend texts me but doesn’t want to talk over the phone with me does it mean he is cheating on me?

[Anonymous]

Probably

Can’t tell

O. The fact that you assumed that is probably one of the reasons he doesn’t want to talk to you. Because chances are you’re going to bring this up, you’re going to nag him about. You’re going to make nothing into something. Look at these questions women write. Whole smokes Batman like an entire book she wrote. Imagine talking to her on the phone, non stop talking mostly about nothing.

Nowadays we live in a texting world where everyone is always on their phones especially the younger generations & although people have phones they don’t use them for talking & if they attempt to talk it causes anxiety & all kinds of other shit.

i only call my partner if its a time sensitive issue i need an answer on. i get phone call related anxieties so prefer texts over calls any day

Texting doesn’t mean he’s cheating. That’s ridiculous.

[OlderAndWiser]

It most likely means he is preoccupied with something else, but not necessarily someone else.

[Somoneelse]

Most people, especcially gen-Z, don't want to talk over the phone or are even anxious/afraid of calls. Assuming he is cheating on you is very wrong and makes me wonder if the problem is not his behaviour of not wanting to call, but your insecurities about him "cheating".

No. I don't answer my phone. It's a huge imposition. Why should I drop everything I'm doing to hear that you had a turkey sandwich for lunch? I'm being totally honest. He's not cheating. He's a jerk like me. That's all

[beautyqueen985]

Why won’t you want to hear all of that

[Peridot25]

@madpete1111 Great that you’re honest 😂

[Peridot25]

@beautyqueen985 He did admit he’s a jerk. So there’s that 🤷‍♀️

[OfMiceandMen]

It could be a number of things, quite often it just means he'd rather text at his own leisure than discuss things over the phone. I think it's more a sign of laziness in the relationship.

[Lionman95]

Not necessarily it could also mean he's at a place where talking on the phone isn't comfortable like at work or in a crowded place. Maybe he doesn't like talking on the phone in general.

[spartan55]

How are you connecting the dots to cheating here? I am always amazed at the completely illogical theories women come up with.

[Aubrey97]

Well, that's definitely one possibility but there are plenty of legitimate reasons too. So, not really enough info, sorry.

[LiZiqiLiZiqi]

This is normal. In fact, text messages are better for communication. Long phone calls are not necessarily good.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Maybe he isn't big on calling and prefers to text. Maybe calling would be too obnoxious for his surroundings.

[Fireguy17]

I'm older so I would way rather talk on the phone vs texting.
You can say more in a short time and can easily Guage the other person's reaction.

[Sugar100]

I’ve never talked to a Guy on the phone , I’m really awkward & I prefer texting , you can call on phone and still cheat.

[Nikki1989]

If your communication skills are that bad, you might as well end it now.

[Kit_Kat88]

It can mean he’s not a situation where he can talk on the phone like a busy or loud place

[RingOfFire]

Not necessarily. That fact alone really means nothing about cheating.

[FuqUFggt]

No it means you talk too much about stupid shit and his time is more valuable then yours.

[MrNoCap]

Myself I just hate speaking on the phone, I dont cheat though

[sultry_ayumi]

He may be with someone else (Karen of his office) and hence does not want to talk. Why don't you surprise him sometime and see what he is upto?

[Anonymous]

No, me and my boyfriend mostly text or be in person. It's a preference of communication method.

[SotiCoto]

No. That is just stupid.

[KrakenAttackin]

He may not like taking on the phone
