I’ve been set up: Ex husband text my partner from a fake number

I went on a hen do this weekend. I had to tell my ex husband to ensure he was ok to standby on Friday afternoon, in the unlikely event the school called if the children were unwell and needed collecting. (As I wasn’t going to be in the area as I was travelling to the hen do)

My current partner received a text from a random number Saturday morning (see the screenshot) to “alert him” that I had been unfaithful that night.

I came home today with my partner very upset and confused who showed me the message.

I spent the entire hendo with my girlfriends and didn’t even look or speak to another man.

I have been set up. And the only person it could be, is my ex.

Reasons I believe it to be my ex:

-The phone has no trace on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram etc which makes me think it’s a “throw away sim” he has bought for the purpose of sending this message.

-It does however link to Snapchat (with a username that suspiciously sounding user name- it’s the name of his dead dog).

-The phone is an android (ex only ever had android and hated apple)

-We called the number and it goes straight through to voicemail each time

-It’s Giffgaff. A network my ex used to use and encouraged me to use when we were together.

-The person hasn’t replied to his messages asking for more info.

Please help: is there anyway we can trace the numbers IP location or any other way I can prove it is my ex trying to set me up?

My partner believes me. But I still feel I want to give him some solid evidence.

Whoever did this is trying to break up your relationship.

It’s good to hear your partner believes you and trusts you.

Carry on and never mention it. He will feel more defeat from that and if you react with emotion he will eat it up and try to hurt you further.

Limit any contact with him and don’t give any details about your life. All he needs to know is things about the kids.

He has proven himself to be incapable of being on civil terms.

My only advice would be to let him stew if he thinks it has worked he will be happy but the not knowing would be harder for him.

Time will tell, as everything comes out, as long as your partner understands you did nothing, there is no reason to bother about the other clown.

If your BF believes you then don't say anything to your ex about any of it. The silence will bug him as he's not getting a reaction form either of you which is what he'll be wanting. Laugh about it with your partner & don't let it come between you or give it a second thought.

He's looking for drama and a reaction, you'll annoy him more by pretending it didn't happen. What a sad bastard.

I agree with Sparrowball. You don’t need this in your life. This whole scene is bizarre soap opera. You and the partner have Better things to do. Rise above. You will be able to prove by other means that you were innocently at the hen do.
