Why isn't he thoughtful or considerate of your feelings? Give you a chance to say, Hey I know what it seems like, but this is what happened. I have others who can verify where I was the entire time.

I don't know. I feel like I deserve the benefit of the doubt because I have never cheated and I'm not in the habit of letting my phone die or coming home late. I'm good about keeping in touch usually but I got caught up with this one friend I haven't seen in awhile.

I suggest ignoring this until such a time that he can talk like an adult. You did NOTHING wrong, even sitting in the car a few minutes catching up on texts is NOT WRONG. Perhaps have a serious talk about this control problem of his, otherwise you might have to end up validating and explaining every time you are a minute late or unexplained purchase that he didn't approve - and he would lay hands/blame it on you. Sweet Songs, please think about if you want to live like that?

I think you're right about waiting to discuss it further until more time has passed. It's just killing me to live with this tension, and knowing he's suspicious of me kind of breaks my heart. I would never cheat on him.

This is the first time I've had both my phone die and arrived home late. I'm a little worried about it happening again, honestly. I bought a portable charger earlier today and almost purchased two just in case. I hate the way I've felt since this happened.
