What does it mean when a person gets defensive after being asked a question about why three text messages received after midnight were deleted but none others around that time?

Answer 1

• The reason this person has gotten defensive when you asked why three text messages received were deleted after midnight when others weren't is an invasion of privacy and everyone has a right to privacy. Because they did this is not proof enough they could be cheating or gossiping about you or doing anything wrong. Many people delete certain messages that may be personal in nature such as one of their friends having a problem and the wise after answering such a text message would delete it. Instead of condemning the person for deleting three messages and if you are worried they are cheating on you or talking about you then you are going to have to accept the fact their text messaging is their private affair and not meant to be discussed with you. Curiosity killed the cat.
