IMessage switch to sms messages

Hello, So this is very sad question but I want to know the truth, a person I loved for many years has always in one way or another completely scared me to death with the degree of education they have which is in the “tech world”. Extremely sad but I’ve given this person my passwords to everything and so on. During our relationship this person literally could or would shut this conversation or manipulate somehow and it may end up that way but I’m going to cross my fingers and hope I can get an answer about this simple situation. We are separated. Although this person says they want nothing to do with me my “technical life” proves different. Today I was texting this person and all the sudden knowing they were in the same spot they have been texting me from all morning all of the sudden my text to them turned into an sms instead of an IMessage. This has happened for years but today I asked Google and below is what came up. My question to the “Apple Community” is am I just being played a fool AGAIN?

Yes I understand that part but under this circumstance this person was sitting in the same spot so was I and we had an argument and then her bubble turned green. No one else’s text thread does this like this persons has ever. It’s been an ongoing thought so I asked Google (this person is very controlling and careful with me and their comments) and that is what Google told me. I just saw this community. I wasn’t aware of it until today and I e been an iPhone user since 2000😳. I just am trying to figure out ONE of the many things that’s happened to my phone when I left my phone unattended.

Apparently I am not explaining myself very well! I checked that link way before I started to dig further into why it would be happening after I had proven non of that stuff on that Apple link you sent me was happening. That sventech person is like repeating himself! The situation is My phone was broken into, passwords were given out and my digital or technical life has been **** ever since. I’ll try to go to a different category and ask theee.
