Boyfriend deleted messages

So my boyfriend came home from work earlier. He laid on the bed while using his phone and got a text message. I was already looking at him because I was talking to him and when he got the text he hurry and slanted his phone away from me a little. I thought it was a little odd because he has NEVER done this before. I didn’t ask who it was and just went on with my conversation.

Just a little bit ago I was sitting in my bed watching tv because I can’t sleep. He’s passed out. And when I go to take my phone off the charger and put his on, I just got a gut feeling to look at his phone. So I go into the messages and nothing. There were no messages. The only most recent message was from me that I texted him BEFORE he even got home from work. All the others were from family members EARLIER THIS WEEK. I don’t really think he’s cheating but like why would he have to delete something..

I know he’s not gonna propose or anything like that because well he’s not even sure he wants to get married. Also he’s the type of person that won’t surprise anyone with anything. He just doesn’t care enough. So idk what it could be.

And please don’t comment “you shouldn’t have gone through his phone”. You’re right, I shouldn’t have..but I did....and it’s done and over with. So no need to state the obvious. I know that sounds rude but I hate when I see people comment on other people’s post stuff like that.

Anyways HELP!
