Arre, why am I checking the phone again
Arre, why am I checking the phone again? One old acquaintance from Prayagraj saw a family photo in a WhatsApp group and started messaging. First it was normal, then compliments about how well I manage home and all. And I am replying also, waiting for his replies, feeling pleased. Very irritating, honestly. At home everyone needs something from me, but nobody asks how I am feeling. Maybe I like it because my husband has stopped giving this kind of attention. Writing this sounds so petty and bad, but hiding the chat feels wrong too. He knows I am married, so why start talking like this? But I cannot blame only him when I am enjoying it. Should I quietly reduce replies or send one clear message that this is not okay? I don’t want drama or gossip in both families, and I definitely don’t want him to misunderstand friendly replies. Is emotional texting already betrayal, or am I making a small thing too big?
