My assistant called a person to come in and sign papers to purchase property. The number we were given for him by our client was wrong. My assistant called it yesterday at the end of the day, got "Bob" not "Jim" so she assumed she had the wrong number and would call today.
She called again today, got "Bob" and realized it was the wrong number, so called our client to get the correct number.
Bob's wife called because she saw the same number twice on her husband's cell phone. Even though my assistant told her the name of the firm that was calling, she picked up on my name and wanted to know why I was calling her husband.
Relax, lady.
And do you guys actually check your spouse's cell phone call logs?

Did you tell her you were wearing khakis and a red shirt?

I think you should have told her you called him because he's cute

Would I call a number that I found on my DH's cell phone because I saw it called him twice? Hell no! I think she has some trust issues.

Since you are a lawyer, maybe she should have jumped to the conclusion that he was looking at divorcing her!

NO, I do not check DH's cell phone. That sounds exhausting. High-schoolish behavior belongs in high school.
Lots of people do it, though.

I don't, but I'm also not married to "Bob". If I was married to him I probably would.

Oh, and if my DH EVER picked up my phone to look through calls I would be calling a divorce attorney. I certainly don't have anything to hide but life is too short to spend time in a relationship where there is no trust.

A bunch of years ago, I had a somewhat muffled difficult to understand message on my landline answering machine from someone I didn't know wanting to talk to Betty Jo. He knew she was there and really needed to talk to her and would she please call 'Gary' back. No number. I said "Sorry Gary, you got the wrong number." to my answering machine as I deleted the message. About 3 nights later after midnight I get a call from a somewhat hysterical woman who insists I know "Gary" and wants to know where he is. I say something like 'you got the wrong number!' and hang up. Woman calls back again. Insists I know 'Gary' - I try to reason with her - she sez she got my number off his phone. Um, ok, it's the WRONG number! She then insists I'm "Barbara" and that I know where Gary is because why else would my phone number be on UM HELLO! - because Gary misdialed. I hang up. Calls a third time I tell her she's got the wrong number - because Gary misdialed my number. He did leave a message for Betty Jo - and there is no one named Betty Jo OR Barbara at this number. Maybe she knows a Betty Jo. Silence on the end of the line. I hang up and unplug the phone from the wall jack (it's my land line - I've only got 1 phone hooked up to the landline). A handful of nights later I get another late night call from this woman less hysterical but insisting I'm Barabara and begging me to let her talk to Gary - she's knows his there with me. I tell her again "no Gary here." She then begs me to tell her where Gary is. I repeat Gary misdialed - she's calling the wrong number! I hang up and unplugged the phone for a week. I hope Gary, Betty Jo, Barabara and the caller all eventually got together. That's my 'crazy person spending too much time obsessing about someone's cell phone call log' story.

OMG, I just remembered once when I jumped to Conclusions! Way back in the pager days, I called back an out of town number. A guy answered "<Some County> Sheriff's". I said "I just got paged with this number", so the guy says "Let me let you talk to your husband." and puts me on hold. WTF. So I start to think and I had just called DH at work and it didn't seem like he had enough time to go to another county and get in trouble, so after a minute I was pretty sure it was not him. So I got connected to some guy, and I told him "I think you have the wrong number" and he agreed. But for that 1 minute I had quite of few conclusions jumped to!

Years ago I had a woman call me & accuse me of having an affair with her husband because he had called my number so many times over the past couple of months & it would seem I had called him just as many. I had no idea what she was talking about since I was single. Well it ends up her husband was best firends with my male roommate who had recently moved in. Unfortunately for her the husband was having an affair but it was some girl he worked with. I did not tell her that though.

No, I don't go through DH's cell.
I did go through his computer activities for a long while, though. Maybe about a year. Trust but verify.
I personally wouldn't jump to conclusions that no one has ever experienced a break in trust in there marriage or has experienced infidelity. I didn't even jump to that conclusion before I discovered DH's addiction.
Call me jaded, but I have begun to think it's more the norm for couples to deal with a break in trust than not.

Did you tell her you were wearing khakis and a red shirt? I sound hideous. LMAO! And no, I don't care who my husband talks to. He will check the phone bill and if anything looks odd, he'll ask. If I don't know the number, I'll research it. Just to make sure one of us made that call. He knows where my cell phone is, and if he's really interested, he can have a looky. Also knows my gmail login. He's welcome to look there, too. If I was cheating, I sure as hell would not make it that easy for him to find out.

I don't even check my own phone, I have even less interest in my husband's.
As far as jumping to conclusions in general - well, according to that same husband - I do it all the time. In reality, I just form conclusions on the things I see and information I have. Obviously, there are times when I am wrong, but a lot of times I end up being right.

I never checked pockets (except before washing, if I did), wallets etc. And I wouldn't check a cell phone either. Not my style. If you can't trust, then get out, is how I think. (your voice may sound hideous, but you look great in those khakis! )

I used to work for a doctors' office. We had to call our patients on a regular basis- to remind them of appointments or reschedule appointments. There was one day when one of my docs had had a death in the family, so I had to call every patient he had scheduled for the next week (my docs saw about 30 patients a day, each) and reschedule. This combined with all my regular phone duties, since I was at the phone station.
Most of the time, my spiel went like this "Hello, this is Shanendoah from Dr P's office, may I speak to John Doe?". Toward the end of this day, I was tired, had made a lot of phone calls, and forgot my spiel on one call. A woman answered. I said "Hello, may I speak to John Doe, please?" And immediately got a response of "who are you? why are you calling my husband?" It took me five minutes to calm her down enough to hand the phone to her husband so that I could reschedule the appointment.
I don't check C's phone looking to see who called him (unless I'm trying specifically to find someone's number), but I will often clear the missed calls or incoming text logs because he doesn't. He'll let the battery run out, then it gets plugged in next to me. Within moments, it starts buzzing with reminders, so I clear things out. If the voicemail reminder is there, I will listen to the VM. Most of the time, its one I left him that just needs to be deleted. And no, I don't think anything about doing that. For a long time, we did not have a home phone, so depending on who was giving out information, lots of different places have one of our numbers. So listening to VM on his phone is the same to me as listening to VM on the now home phone. He also has full access to my phone, and I wouldn't think anything of it if he were looking through it.
But I also don't think of my phone as being "mine". Same with the laptop I use and the tablet, or the pc he regularly uses. He also knows what my email password is.

I've never checked DH's phone or computer. And as far as I know he has never checked mine. Nothing to hide on either side.
I'm a very trusting person and try not to jump to conclusions. When I do I'm usually wrong.

No, I would rather spend my time doing something else. If DH is that desperate to have a relationship with someone else, (as in romantic ), then we'd just sit down, pencil out our assets, divide everything up, and file for divorce. I already went through a marriage with a man who really considered himself to be an alpha male, although he wasn't , and I used to get a little upset at the hints he was dropping, but even then, I just didn't care about it, since he had gotten so weird.
