To confront DH over unfaithfulness?

Ok, I'm an idiot and am regretting my actions hugely.
I have been married to DH for 6 years, love him to death and am pretty sure that he feels the same and we have two great kids. Today I stupidly decided to log in to his facebook account and see who he's been chatting too. It's not a trust issue, I was genuinely just being nosy. Anyway, I found an old email between him and a mate when they were both in the US on business arranging to meet up etc. In the email there is banter about a prostitute that DH booked.
I feel sick, humiliated and violated and am going to have to confront him about it as I cannot get it out of my head.
Funnily enough we had a drunken conversation last night about being unfaithful, him swearing blind that he has never cheated on me.
I know I am totally unreasonable for checking his FB messages, and I genuinely regret doing it now, so I know I can't tell him that I have done this. I can make up a story about hints being dropped that he might have been unfaithful by mutual friends etc. But do you think I'm being unreasonable in confronting him over it, or do you think I should just let it go.
By the way, I hate this friend of his and know that he is constantly unfaithful to his wife and DH knows I hate them hanging around together as I feel he's a bad influence.
It could be that this was just a case of boys banter and that he didn't really sleep with her, but I need to know either way.
So go on...give it to me...

Printererror - so pleased you have had a conversation with him that has answered your questions and left you feeling that the issue has been resolved.

I've been watching this thread but said nothing as everyone else has said it much better than I could.
BUT I'm very glad you have resolved this and had an open honest conversation with him.

Glad this has been resolved, talking to him was the right thing to do and as always when you don't know the whole story your brain makes upmuch worse suggestions!

i am so pleased this has worked out well and that you were able to openly discuss it all with your dh

i sincerely apologise that i jumped to conclusions - probably reflects on my own experiences in the past, I am relieved that my own dh is not like others that have oreceeded him and this thread has made me realise i should be a bit nicer to him - sorry hijack over printerror

brilliant outcome

It sounds as if he was able to prove the truth, which is fantastic news. I know you probably know this now, but don't read his stuff in future

HolyGuacamole · 04/08/2009 09:31

Fantastic printererror, that is really good news. I was a doubter and am really glad that you have sorted it out. It seems like you had a really good talk too and he has given you loads of reassurance and a new level of trust.

Well done and best wishes.

Good news! I have been reading this and am really glad its all good. Now this is a lesson not to jump to conclusions or read his emails - although I bet you do. I read my boyfriend's all the time, and read his texts ha ha!

Delighted to hear that all is fine - so much better to vent on here to us, than in real life to family or friends who tend to remember this sort of thing, whether it's real or not. Particularly pleased he's not changing his passwords - sounds like he trusts you and also wants you to trust him.

Hurrah!

MotherPi · 04/08/2009 18:07

yy KiwiKat - this sort of thing stays in the minds of friends and family.

AM so pleased that there was a (very) reasonable explanation printerrrror

Excellent ending to a fascinating story. Are you going to show DH the thread? Or have already??
