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.

Another random googler here!

Today I googled "how to breathe" Grin not because I don't know how to breathe but I've got covid and want be make sure I'm breathing correctly to use up as much lung capacity as I can.

I've also clicked on a few wedding dresses - no intentions of getting married and I'll admit I have in the past googled the price of someone's engagement ring just purely idle curiosity/nosiness on my part.

I wouldn't worry that dh is planning a few "Sister wives" for you Grin

Just for interest, OP, what were the search terms?

If 18ct gold engagement ring 1ct brilliant cut VS1 diamond then I suspect he's trying to find out how much someone he knows spent on an engagement ring.

If '18ct gold ring size J next day delivery romantic break gretna green new identity' then I'd be worried.

I suspect the former. Ask him and try to be less anxious in the future.

Good luck.

I would assume he'd read Reddit. There was an AITA the other week that talked about not giving their engagement ring back to their deceased fiance's family and it had a link to the ring. It could be that thread it could be another.

I mean we click on random links on Mumsnet all the time.

If he's searching up rings genuinely and it's for another person, then their relationship would be at an extremely serious level, had he had the time or opportunity to get it there?
That's a massive step to start thinking about proposing when he's still married so I think unless he's been spending huge amounts of time away... It's unlikely anything suspicious

Unsoliciteddeckpic · 15/07/2021 07:04

So there's nothing else that makes you think he is untrust worthy?

If I found this on dps phone, I would be baffled as I don't want to get married.

However, after a thread here at the weekend I was googling engagement rings, for prices. On some sites the ring size is ore populated with a ring size and then, I guess, you change it to the one you want. The fact that the ring size wasn't yours, unless he actually ordered it, doesn't mean anything.

I am certainly not thinking of buying a womans engagement ring for my dp or anyone else. I click on ads by accident all the time, especially on mn. Or sometimes I am just having a nosey at stuff.

Checking my own search history there one that says 'change my booking/planyournight' or similar. Looks like a hotel booking of some sort. It's not. I went to Yo! Yesterday with dd, had a booking and we were ready early so I tried to bring it forward. Had nothing to do with hotels or night times. Must be just whatever they are using to run their website. If someone looked, without context it looks like I may have stayed in or booked a hotel. But I haven't.

You don't have context here.

Also sometime I click on ads, click back straight away, before it even opens and it can be sat on another tab for ages. There's so many possibilities here.

I looked up wedding dresses the other day as I find them so pretty but I have no intention of getting re-married Blush

I wouldn’t worry - he is probably looking after a chum got engaged and seeing how much the ring cost!!

If no other matters worrying you I wouldn’t be concerned!

donquixotedelamancha · 15/07/2021 07:06

I do trust him, we use each other's phone a lot , know the passwords etc. We don't have anything to hide

You went through his phone history, that is not trust or respect- it's abusive. If you want a long and happy marriage then openness and trust are key.

When you speak to him, be honest about your worries and apologise for what you did. Don't be tempted to avoid the awkward conversation- love doesn't keep score.

OhGiveUp · 15/07/2021 08:35

My phone/tablet history would fry your brain.
That said, I once saw an expensive pair of earrings on my DH phone, we had no birthdays etc coming up. I didn't mention it, I forgot about it if I'm honest, and a few days later he presented me with the same earrings as a random gift.
I wouldn't worry too it op.

Youdiditanyway · 15/07/2021 09:52

As others have said, possibly clicked on an ad my mistake which I’ve done plenty of times. Maybe someone he knows recently got engaged and he was curious about how much the ring cost? I do things like that sometimes.
