New partner looking at 'singles online'

I've just started a new relationship with someone i've known for about 20 years. It's all going really well... Last night when my computer done it's usual security scan it came up with four suspicious web sites. They're all for those dodgy local single sites, with plenty of pornographic pics and vids. I've been thinkng about what to say to him for hours now! So I thought i'd ask peoples opinions on here....

Can you clarify: are the 'four dodgy sites' coming up in the scan because someone used your computer to visit those sites?

Does anyone else have access to your computer besides you and your new partner?

He may not have been looking for singles but it looks like he was looking at porn, those sites come up when you look at regular porn sites

Good luck, I do hope he hasn't been up to anything Sad

Yes, to clarify, he's the only other person to use this laptop.

dreamdating.com
mybestprivatevidoez.com
quickchickfind.com
sweetsinglesonline.com

Hmmm - you have to address it with him then.

Doesn't sound good.

How long has he been single?
How long have you been a couple?

Will be interesting to hear how he explains/defends himself.

It may be that you are lucky to have found out early on in the relationship.

He's been single for a while now. We've only been a couple for three weeks. We've been friends since I was fifteen.
All our mutual friends have been really happy about it. Even his ex wife has been encouraging. If you knew him you wouldn't think he'd be interested in stuff like this..

Maybe he's got into those sites while he was single, and is now in the habit. Clearly, not OK now that he's in a relationship.

I'd find it worrying that he's 'looking' so early in the relationship, and that he has done it on your computer (surely he knew you'd find out?).

Let us know what he says when you speak to him.

Dred · 11/12/2011 14:58

I will let you know what he says.

I get ads from those sites on the sites I use to download tv programmes could it be that?

He may just have been curious about who locally was on it - I've had a good look at some just to see if I know anyone (and did see a few). Nothing suspicious, just interested, so it could be completely innocent.
