Should I trust her

I’m in a long distance relationship. The other day I was on a video call with my girlfriend. Mid conversation she suddenly puts her hand over her mouth like she’s trying to hush someone off camera. Not a casual “one sec” it was clearly directed at someone in the room.

I asked her about it straight away.

She tells me it was her neighbour apparently a married guy who “came to check on her.”

Okay.

Now maybe I’m insecure, but why would you need to hush a neighbour? And why would he just casually be in your place during a video call with your boyfriend?

Fast forward two days later. I FaceTimed her again. My phone shows the call connected. Not ringing. Connected. I waited. No answer. Later she says she “never got the call.”

How does that even happen? If it connected on my end, doesn’t that mean it went through?

Now I’m stuck between:

Trust her and assume it was just awkward timing and some kind of tech glitch.

Or accept that something feels off and I’m ignoring red flags.

For context:

She says the neighbour is married.

She says he was just checking on her.

She denies getting the FaceTime even though it shows connected on my phone.

I don’t want to be paranoid, but I also don’t want to be naïve.

Am I overthinking this or does this sound sketchy to you?
