Your bitcoins may not be sent from the address you think they are.
1. I get 10 BTC paid to 1myFirstAddress 2. I send 1 BTC to someone, but the unspent remainder is sent to a 1UnshownChangeAddress of mine behind the scenes in my wallet. 3. I send 2 BTC to someone, you look up 1myFirstAddress and won't see it
Bitcoin makes it hard to identify user's addresses and which payments are to other individuals. Blockchain info sites also can't figure out what all of your addresses are in your wallet. Your wallet has many addresses in it, and with the correct etiquette when you receive or request payments, will never use the same address more than once. Stop looking at these sites to watch your transactions or determine your wallet balance, similar questions have been asked dozens of times on the forum.
