DH took woman's number

Am I being overly dramatic?
DH went out with work colleagues this afternoon to watch the football and have a meal, and then went to the local pub when he got back for one final beer while I was travelling back from seeing family.
He was pretty drunk when he got home, told me a bit about his evening with his colleagues and then fell asleep on the sofa.
He's lied to me previously about stuff but he's never cheated. I had a weird gut feeling, something was off, so I decided to have a look at his phone. Nothing untoward aside from a phone number in the Notes section with a woman's name, time stamped at the time he was at the local pub this evening.
What am I meant to do with this info? Confront him? If I confront him then I'm telling him I looked at his phone, which I'm now severely regretting!!

I would have took a pic of the number and texted them off my phone and seen who it was

This is where we find out she gave him the wrong number with one digit changed, and you just changed it back 😀

Delete it you daft mare; he’s not going to remember where he stored it he will just think he did save it properly without it he can’t call her; just check he’s not already called the number if he has block it & delete it if he hasn’t briefly call it then block it & delete don’t let it ring though just let it register;

I would change the number to one of my friends numbers and see if he contacts her.

Do this!

Thanks for a bit of solidarity! Was thinking I may get jumped on for snooping.

I changed one digit when I saw the number, but now worried that if I've jumped to the wrong conclusion and it's actually an important phone number then I've cocked something up! Oh lordie, I'm in a spiral!

I would have changed the name to George.

@Barleysugar86 exactly. Your story reminds me of the time I came home and found my partner in bed with the lady next door. Her boiler had broken and she then fell into her pond and got very cold. DH immediately got her into bed and they shared body heat as any good neighbour would.
As soon as they'd finished dressing we all had a good laugh.

Add the number to your saved contacts then you can check the WhatsApp profile picture?

YukoandHiro · 28/03/2023 23:29

@Barleysugar86 In your situation I would have at least checked the expiry date to check that story was accurate

Cantthinkof1rightnow · 03/06/2023 10:43

@stripytiger09 did you speak to your dh? What was the outcome?

It’s not irrelevant what’s on the phone. He’s cheating on OP.

She snooped for a reason and thank god she did - so weird you think that’s worse than cheating. Have you cheated and got caught out and done that “OMG you’ve invaded my pRIvaCy” nonsense that cheater alive to do to gaslight their poor other halves?

If he’s cheating why did he just get the woman’s number tonight? Surely he’d already have the number?
