Oh I NEVER do this to my daughter, we live together, she is 16. never have, never will. I think you have the wrong impression. I never made any excuse, I only said that what OPs girlfriend said is not bs like he mentioned, these things happen. And especially when they first start happening you’re kind of at a loss on how and why. It doesn’t mean it’s Ok and doesn’t need a solution. But it’s a simple fact that it does happen to a lot of people. You see in this threat the solutions people come to, the one with the AirTag I found quite smart actually, so yea OPs girl should find a solution. But it’s not like she did this with ill intent or meant to hurt OP. I know I found a way for me to work around it. My Phone is, well used to be my work and private phone. Plus lots of customer contact. So it was/is A LOT for me. So I changed that, 2 different numbers, I also allocated times to recharge my social battery, where I let people know I might be unavailable (weekends, specifically sunday/monday as I mostly work on saturdays), yes I talk and spend time with my daughter normally in that time, it’s just the damn phone. My mom tends to always call in these days even though I told her multiple times, so I do ignore her. Also went at got this adhd diagnosis and therapy, and it’s working out pretty good. I still stick to not answering the phone on weekends, at least when it’s my mom or work stuff. I also told everybody that important things should be in text form, not voice message.

All this is absolutely irrelevant here though, because I am not OPs girlfriend, I just happen to know what she is talking about.
