To think that you can’t sign up for FIVE dating sites accidentally?

Found old emails from 7 years ago spanning 4 years in DH’s inbox when I was trying to find an old receipt. I have always known his password.

He insists that one of them he knew about as he accidentally joined it via Facebook and the others must have taken his details from that. Lo and behold I then found that he had 4 dating apps in his expired apps on Facebook.

I do remember finding an email saying he had messages in his inbox from a dating site around 4/5 years ago but he insisted it must have been spam, although I have seen that he joined that site from Facebook 2 years earlier than that!

Also the first site one he had emails from wasn’t on there so he didn’t join that one through Facebook and one of the emails from a different site said that it had got his details from the first dating site due to a ’transaction’ he made on it.

He insists he’s never heard of the other dating sites although he had the apps on his Facebook for some of them and he had tons of emails which he couldn’t have missed surely! He has said that he didn’t open them as proof that he didn’t sign up to them.

Is it really possible that he was ‘accidentally’ signed up to 5 of these sites?

We have had problems in our marriage for many years due to financial and child rearing stress and were just starting to get back on track! The first dating site emails are from when our youngest was less than a year old and I was carrying a lot of extra weight. We’ve also had a very up and down sex life without sex for months at a time as he hasn’t been interested and I never understood how he could go that long without it.

I can’t check bank statements as too far back to see if he paid to subscribe.

He has been very defensive and angry as I won’t just let it goShock. I mean really!

He told if he wanted another woman he wouldn’t have to go on a dating siteHmm.

I am questioning stuff from years ago now and don’t know what to think. Help!

@FreedomBird

Come on... five separate sites, with pictures, correct specific location, using his existing password across accounts, notification settings amended from default, his old and rare nickname used as the email address to sign up...

Do you honestly think there is anything close to an innocent explanation?

I know you are probably trying to be nice but encouraging OP to stick her head in the sand about this is false hope.

If he has a gmail address, then his google history is probably available for you to look at. Even if he clears the normal history, Google records all your searches, pages visited etc. back for years.
Just google for "Check Google History", and it'll take you through the process.

It gets worse. I remembered I posted a thread last year and thought I’d read it to remind myself how things were. I found out about the porn from his google history months after posting it. He was looking at it at home which I had no idea about. Also now that I can see the date I posted it, I can see that he googled super strength condoms during the period we weren’t having sex!

He was on the dating sites years before this period.

So I suppose I should take it that he’s been cheating for many years then. Honestly I cannot reconcile the guy I thought I knew to this. I called him a SOfAB last night and he was absolutely furious that I called his mother a bitch.

Fuck me, OP. This would be hilarious if it wasn't so cuntish.

Honestly that's the most amazing almost impressive example of DARVO I have ever heard.

You're always the bad guy no matter what aren't you?

I think you need to start looking for another phone of his. It will probably be hidden in his car or somewhere among his possessions turned off but charged.

If he is being secretive, he is full of shit. Sorry OP.

Sadly it appears that way

Hmm don't let him distract you with THAT argument.

What do you want to see happen next? Counselling? Trial separation? Divorce? You don't have to decide right now.
