I always wondered why my DH had a snap chat account he claims never to use,so I decided to hack into it. Password was relatively easy to guess...

Nothing suspicious, in fact nothing at all. So I logged out and went back in on my phone and I got an alert sent to my email saying login at x time from location from handset!!!! WTF he will know I am on to him now 🤦‍♀️ what do I say?
I think he's cheating but I don't want him to know that until I have more evidence!

If his score is zero.. then he really doesnt use it.
I dont get it?

BunnytheBee · 09/03/2020 18:50

I agree don’t tell him your suspicion as he will just be better at hiding it

WhatHappenedThen · 09/03/2020 18:54

Oh dear. I’m not sure how you can get out of that OP. ☹️

mrsBtheparker · 09/03/2020 19:05

You're happy to snoop but don't like the consequences? Tough!

tolerable · 09/03/2020 19:18

so change your password to his easy guess one..that'll explain it
sortof

Good lord, the hypocrisy of Mumsnet.

Branster · 09/03/2020 19:21

Unless... he signs in to snapchat using a different pet email address you don’t know about.
Just tell him, say you had a fit of irrational suspicion against the world at large and his device was the starting point. If I were you I’d also tell him that you’re only admitting to this because you know there’s a very high chance he got a notification email, otherwise you’d have never told him.
Lay your cards on the table. He’s your husband.

Crystal87 · 09/03/2020 19:26

Just tell him the truth. You scooped because you're worried he's cheating. If you think he's cheating anyway then you've got nothing to lose as either he is cheating, or he isn't but you don't trust him.

WestCountryLady · 09/03/2020 19:36

He might not have got the email and you're worried over nothing, I'd just carry on as normal and if he says anything then discuss it but if not save the Afro.

WestCountryLady · 09/03/2020 19:37

AGRO

DingleberryRose · 09/03/2020 19:42

If it gets to the point where you’re going behind someone’s back to snoop on them it’s already over.

supersop60 · 09/03/2020 19:47

I'm guessing that all the people who disapprove of the OP snooping have never been cheated on.
'Just ask him' - yeah right - he'll definitely admit to everything then.
OP - move this to Relationships.

cordeliavorkosigan · 09/03/2020 19:54

how about "i tried to get into yours after i got an email saying there'd been someone trying to get in to mine"

longcoffee · 09/03/2020 19:58

I don't think I have ever heard a positive story about sodding bloody Snapchat

UntamedWisteria · 09/03/2020 20:12

We discovered that if you take a screenshot on Snapchat it sends a message to the person you have screenshotted.

Which happened to be DS's drug-dealing mate.

Bodule · 09/03/2020 20:23

I don't think I have ever heard a positive story about sodding bloody Snapchat

This, in spades.

Toria70 · 09/03/2020 20:29

I thought Snapchat was for teenagers............ Hmm

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 09/03/2020 20:32

Snap chat is definitely for kids

Zombiemum1946 · 09/03/2020 20:41

No you shouldn't have gone on to his account. If you think he's cheating then you've got bigger fish to fry than snooping on his Snapchat account. Have you got grounds to think he's cheating or are you paranoid/jealous ? Either way you've got a big conversation to have.

Kinraddie · 09/03/2020 20:47

As someone else said - you're not going to find anything on Snapchat; that's the whole point of it - the photos disappear. All you can see is his "friends" and anything that's been saved.

crustycrab · 09/03/2020 20:53

You can see how many snaps he's sent. Zero in this case.

I bet he doesn't bring it up and that will tell you all you need to know

LifeImplosionImminent · 09/03/2020 20:54

You could get yourself an account and follow him - there's this feature called a snap map - it will show your exact location (if you allow it)

If he's up to no good he will absolutely be against allowing you access, if he does, you'll get peace of mind (unless he gets his mate to sign on as him and go sit in a library...)

FortunesFave · 09/03/2020 20:58

If you DO have suspicions then tell him!

Kraejka · 09/03/2020 21:03

I tend to think when a relationship has got to the stage of someone snooping like that, it's over. The trust has gone.
If you trusted him you wouldn't have hacked into his snapchat.

If you think he is cheating leave him. Don't wait to collect more evidence.

FortunesFave · 09/03/2020 21:13

Kraejka I know what you mean...I couldn't live like that but I know many people who do! My best friend has spent twenty years stalking her DH's online activities and phone because he had an affair years ago.

She's not trusted him since. They've almost split over it so many times...it's like a form of torture to stay with him but she does!
