My wife suddently distanced herself

Hi Everyone,

Lately my wife has been distant with me and not showing as much affection towards me. We used to do everything together and now all of a sudden she's going out by herself and to hang out with people I don't know. Also she keeps her cell phone by her side 24/7 except when she's charging it. Another thing is her phone is password protected and I do not know the password but she knows mine?!?. If I even go near her phone she freaks out. Anyone here with a similar case as mine with experience please share. I have a bad feeling here...

The good thing here is that it could be nothing. The bad thing here is that it could be a matter of a few things. She could be having an affair...the worst case scenario, or she may want to feel more independent with her friends. She may be going through some type of stress that she is not telling you about. I have not had this happen to me personally but I would change your password on your phone to keep things fair. I really think that this may bring some things to light. This would not be done to be mean just to put things on a more even field. It is worth a try along with asking her what she is feeling about your relationship. Good luck and I hope things get sorted out for you.

Thanks for the input I really appreciate it. Going out with friends I'm ok with as long as I know who they are at the very least. When I go out I tell her exactly whom I'm with and where I'm going which is the proper way to go about things. We are both in our early 30's with no kids which makes things easier if things go south. Do you think as a husband I have the right to ask her to look into her phone just to see her response?

Have you asked her why the sudden changes in habits?

But if your feeling the need to check her phone? then follow that feeling and ask.

I hope things work out for you

Why not just ask her what is going on? Asking to see her phone is indirect. Tell her she has been acting weird, period.
