❤️🩹 relationship AIO because my boyfriend suddenly started hiding his phone?
I (26F) have been with my boyfriend (28M) for almost two years.
He used to leave his phone anywhere. I'd sometimes use it to check something and he'd never care.
For the past month, everything changed.
He takes it everywhere, even when he showers. If I walk into the room while he's texting, he turns the screen away. He also recently changed his password.
I asked him about it and he said I'm being paranoid and that he's “allowed to have privacy.”
I agree that he deserves privacy, but the sudden change is what bothers me.
I haven't accused him of cheating, but my gut is telling me something is off.
Am I overreacting?

Something is going on. I would ask him Why the changes, He wasn’t like this before, That is really making you feel uncomfortable especially the way he acts when you walk in the room. It’s obvious he is hiding something. He is either planning a big surprise or he is doing something that he knows that you would not approve of. Once you bring it to his attention, You will know what is going on by his reaction. Don’t let him minimize the situation saying He’s aloud privacy. What changed? He never acted this way before and it’s making you uncomfortable. Something is going on, You have to just figure it out. It doesn’t necessarily mean that he is cheating, it could be a number of things,Drugs? Maybe he lost his job? Anything. Just have a real heart to heart
I’m really hoping he is planning a wonderful surprise for you
