To cut my husband's ****edited by MNHQ**** with blunt scissors?

So my husband works shifts and this week it is his early shift - he is gone from the house by 5am. I came down this morning to find he had left his iPhone on the worktop. As I was making breakfast for DC's I pressed the home button on his phone to check the time and saw an unread message from my best friend of 27 years saying "is she in bed yet?".

Now, it's my birthday next week so I thought they were arranging some special surprise for me. So left it as that. Dropped the kids off at school but something was niggling at me, I just had this feeling in my gut. His iPhone has got a passcode which I don't know. On my third attempt, by pure and utter luck, I managed to guess it right and get into his phone. What I have seen has made me sick to my stomach. My "friend" has been sending my husband dirty naked pics of herself - full on legs spread and sex toys involved. There are no replies or conversation from him but then I guess these can be deleted??? I noticed he's saved the pictures to his camera roll also - presumably for quick access. I have no idea if they have met - I can't think straight at the moment it feels like everything is in slow motion

My husband NEVER leaves his phone at home so I suspect this was a mistake. I've currently packed all his bags and I am just about to post the pictures of my "friend" on Facebook with a tag saying "you are welcome to him"

I don't know what to do

Can you and your kids stay with your parents tonight? Or can he stay somehwre else? The chances are things are going to kick off big time whenever he shows his face and you don't want the kids being frightened.

The urge to do it is totally understandable, the fact that you didn't do it straight away says I think that you aren't going to go through it you're just hurt and angry and lashing out.

I would reply 'why, how many possible suitors are there that I could have got them from?'

He doesn't have a work phone as far as I'm aware but who knows? He's still not home, but without his phone I have no way of contacting him to find out where he is

If you really can't resist replying I'd simply say:

I'll let your husband fill you in on all the details.

Then leave her to do the shit-herself boogie. I'm so sorry this has happened to you, OP. Sending strenth and solidarity for the days ahead x

hippydippybaloney · 28/09/2016 14:39

She has probably emailed him/facebooked him. Is he logged onto Facebook on his phone? Can you check that before he remotely signs out? I would check all apps asap before he locks them all out.

Is your husband home yet? You say he's not that smart, but he may have another phone and been pre-warned. Sorry op Flowers.

DigestiveMuncher · 28/09/2016 14:40

Hmm that's very true pink what does he do? Does he have access to computers? Is he normally home on time?

WiddlinDiddlin · 28/09/2016 14:40

I would be tempted to respond..

"You mean there are MULTIPLE places I could have got these photos from?"

OP - did you fb message the pics to her husband or just gave him a heads up?

Her husband has just replied to my Facebook message with "I'm so sorry". Wtf does that mean? I don't know how to respond to that?

SuperFlyHigh · 28/09/2016 14:41

he's definitely been pre-warned and perhaps has met up with your 'friend' to discuss damage limitation. in many ways that is worse, if he'd come home and fessed up then perhaps you could have worked through this maybe not

pictish · 28/09/2016 14:41

Oh no! What an absolute shocker! I'm so sorry OP.

MyBreadIsEggy · 28/09/2016 14:41

Hmm her husband is so sorry??

JesusDontWantMeForASunbeam · 28/09/2016 14:42

Do you think her husband knew/ suspected?

Flowers OP. They sound like a pair of cunts.

SuperFlyHigh · 28/09/2016 14:42

OP - her husband knows...

god knows what he is planning to do.

justilou · 28/09/2016 14:42

Sounds like he knows, OP..... I have a feeling that you might be the last one to discover this.

Mumofazoo · 28/09/2016 14:42

I'm so sorry this has happened to you op, some friend she is Flowers

BalloonSlayer · 28/09/2016 14:42

He might not know what to say Pink.

hippydippybaloney · 28/09/2016 14:42

That he's sorry his wife has hurt you. At least he's not lashing out at you for it. He must be in bits himself, it's kind that he's sympathetic to how it's impacting you as well.
