You’re seeing a classic pattern, but you don’t have proof yet. Best moves now:

Name what you see, not what you fear.
“I’ve noticed you’re more protective of your phone and WhatsApp lately, and when I ask, things get tense. It’s making me feel anxious and disconnected.”

Avoid the “Are you cheating?” interrogation.
Focus on trust and transparency instead:
“I need to feel like we’re on the same team. How can we rebuild that?”

Set clear boundaries.
Decide what you need to feel secure (openness about general phone use, not full access to every message) and say it plainly.

Don’t spy or install anything secretly.
It crosses a line, can be illegal, and doesn’t actually fix the trust issue.

Watch patterns over time.
If behavior + defensiveness continue and they won’t work on it with you, the problem is the relationship, not just WhatsApp.
