Wwyd if your partner/husband had this on his phone?

Probably be flamed for going through search history but here goes...

Wwyd or think ? If you saw this on your DH phone history, baring in mind your already married.

Search history for 18ct gold engagement ring? At a cost £££! as well. And also not in my size😒.

Not quite sure what to say or think tbh, as we are already married so not sure how to have the chat I need to with him? Otherwise my mind will go crazy if I don't speak up.

I know I am being unreasonable for looking through his search history but something was on my mind so I had to have a look.
Btw he can go through my phone anytime knows passcode etc not Normally no issues in that respect of relationship.

I'd think he'd probably clicked on an ad or he was talking to someone about rings so googled it.

Unless there is more going on I'd say totally not suspicious.

I think I am just over thinking things. My first thought was a ad on social media but then my mind started thinking other things. was just so out of the blue.

I would be quietly sorting my finances out, just in case.
If there's no anniversary or birthday coming up that could explain it? Then I would assume it was for someone else.
The danger is, the second he knows that you know, be will show his hand.
Protect yourself!

Hopefully it's for you and he doesn't know your ring size.....but this seems very very suspicious.
Any way you can get into his emails and texts?

underneaththeash · 14/07/2021 21:06

I'd assume he didn't realise that rings have sizes and I would mention it (in a few days).

AOwlAOwlAOwl · 14/07/2021 21:08

I wouldn't think anything of it. I google all kinds of things that pop into my head - some quite embarrassing if other people saw them probably. Does he know anyone that got engaged recently? He might have been trying to work out how much their ring cost, it's the kind of nosey thing I might do

No 😔 birthdays or anniversary's are ages away. I think I'm just being a bit insecure. Hopefully when I do get round to speaking to him, it was a accident or something he just clicked on but if not then there is clearly deeper stuff going on in his mind.

I would assume that he’s accidentally clicked on an ad, or that he was helping a friend choose and engagement ring. I would absolutely not assume that he’s about to propose to another woman.

But I don’t have any reason to mistrust my DH. I’m assuming that you do based on your reaction. What made you look at his search history in the first place?

Defiantly41 · 14/07/2021 21:11

My guess would be that an ex has just got engaged!

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 14/07/2021 21:12

I'd just ask him. Quite likely it's something stupid and random like an accidental click or checking what someone told him about the cost or something. And if it isn't you will get clues from the response.

It seems juuuuuust a touch unlikely he's planning on dropping £££££ on a ring to propose to someone else while already married, don't you think?

stealthninjamum · 14/07/2021 21:12

Op is there something that’s made you distrust your dh?

I would assume someone else was talking about rings and he googled them. What’s your engagement ring like? Did he buy it when he didn’t have much money and he now wants to replace it?

Kezzie200 · 14/07/2021 21:13

I'm another that Googles allsorts. I just love information. Maybe someone mentioned buying an engagement ring for 10 grand or something and he thought, no way...and checked it out. Sort of thing I'd do! It's not nosy I just devour information even if it's a waste of time knowing it.

Today we were looking at work at ju jitsu for the local guys number. You can't even imagine what our search brought up!! Completely innocent check.

Plus I often click ads I don't want because my fingers move to fast (or maybe its too slow).

So if that's simply one link amongst a whole.load of ordinary stuff. I'd not worry.

Cooldryplace · 14/07/2021 21:14

If I thought anything at all, I'd think he'd been doing some idle browsing, maybe looking at prices, but wasn't planning to buy anything (yet) or a friend had been considering a purchase and they had a browse together in the pub.

But I've never had the kind of relationship where it would occur to me to look at their search history.

I'm not really sure why. Curiosity go the better of me I suppose.

Are you sure he hasn't got a mate who's thinking of proposing, who's sent him a link to a ring?

No nothing really to distrust him. He was with a friend the other day so i suppose I was just being nosey, he most probably was talking about engagements and things, there is probably nothing more to it. 🤞🏼

Possibly 🤷🏼‍♀️ will have to wait and see what he says most probably he was just having a look on the internet or scrolling through whatever rubbish was on social media 😂.

Now I've read everyone's responses my mind is a bit clearer is nice to see things from someone else's prospective, I was just having a panic moment thinking what on earth is this 😂🙈

CarnationCat · 14/07/2021 21:22

He's probably got a friend/seen on social media, someone bought this ring and he wanted to see how much it costs.

You clearly don't trust him to have gone into his search history. I think you've got bigger problems that this ring.

SilverOak · 14/07/2021 21:23

Someone on Facebook got engaged and he was being nosy about how much the ring cost. Or he was advising a friend. Or he was planning to buy it for you. I certainly wouldn’t think he was planning to propose to a mistress! If that’s what you think then you have bigger trust issues.

Standrewsschool · 14/07/2021 21:25

I’d probably feel a bit puzzled as well, but then try to rationalise it for the reasons posted above.

I do trust him, we use each other's phone a lot , know the passwords etc. We don't have anything to hide, well I certainly don't 😂 I think I was just having a rash moment as not having a great day today x

Christ if I'm judged on the things I google people would think all sorts. So far this evening I've googled

Rightmove - I've no intention of moving
Door knockers
Ddos attacks
What does a saying mean
Marine biologist requirements - I've no desire to be a marine biologist

This inane list goes on

I think you're overthinking
