A few weeks ago my wife and I got in a fight and she swore that she would break off contact with the other guy. Then I noticed blocked numbers appearing the same time of day. When confronted she admitted that it was the other guy. Again a big argument occurred. She sent him a text asking that he never text her or call her ever again. For a couple of weeks things seem to be going good. Then today I see another blocked call. It was a mobile to mobile charge, but she claims it was a telemarketer. The call lasted 7 minutes. The telemarketer was supposedly selling magazine subscriptions, and something about a free watch. Usually she gets really short and annoyed when people call her at work. For some reason this one telemarketer was the exception. I can't seem to make it fit but I don't want to believe she is lying to me again. I think I'm going to try to maintain. If I see another blocked call then I know I won't be able to.

Sorry you are in this situation..
Maybe she was telling the truth? Try to trust her if you can as it is an important part of a marriage.

Sometimes I get blocked calls. At first I didn't answer them but now I do. My ISP, Suddenlink, has called with blocked call and the IRS did also.

After much consideration it is my own paranoia. I could not maintain and went off the deep end. How do you deal with all the paranoia. Sometimes it feels everyone is out to get me.

I'm not entirely sure what a "blocked" call is; I'm guessing it's when a caller's number doesn't show up on caller ID but, later, when one gets a phone bill, the number is on there.

I don't have caller ID, just answer the phone when it rings and deal with whomever is on the phone. I don't care who my husband talks to when he calls/is called by someone, anymore than I care about what websites he visits.

That being so, if I were in your position, I would try to put all the information I had together so it makes positive sense to me rather than negative. I would deliberately put a "happy" spin on things until reality made it impossible to do that anymore.

A phone call is a phone call. If I told my husband I didn't want some woman calling him anymore and he said he had told the woman not to call, I would believe him, flat out. If I saw blocked numbers then appearing, that they were the "same time" each day, would be a clue that they are probably not from the same woman; as that woman, if my husband lied to me/was still talking to her, would be clued to "not call the same time but mix it up so he doesn't notice". But, if I were still not convinced by that thought, thought perhaps they were "stupid" and still carrying on at the same time, I would answer one/several/all of the calls!

Test your paranoid thoughts with something reality-based. They can't stand that!

don't be so sensitive about blocked numbers....I get them all the time....some of my friends have blocked caller ids from home....and most of telemarketers....
you will kill yourself if you get so emotional for every single blocked number on the list.....

The OP's situation is the reason I don't have a cell phone. I was getting calls from a woman that had some issues with her husband and my DW thought I was having an affair. I felt sorry for the woman but admittedly it was too much. It didn't look good. Now, shoe on the other foot.....I wouldn't care if she was getting calls from a guy. Weird right? No, it's just that I don't have a jealous bone in my body. Never did and she knows that.
