Mobile phones - DH is such a fuckwit

Some time ago DH had an affair that I found out about through his phone bill (by accident, same initial, I opened it)

So, we get over it, we move on together.

Then two weeks ago, he goes out on the Friday night to a works do, and on the Saturday get's a text. I jokingly say "who loves you?" and he said "oh, it's Stuart asking how I am".

He was at work on the Sunday, and things begin to niggle, so as I go to bed I sent him a text asking to see the message from Stuart when he gets home (we have an agreement that no text messages are deleted from our phones).

I get a long message after I am asleep, admitting that the message was from Z (female) saying Hiya, and that he had been speaking to her at the do the night before, and that she and her boyfriend had subsequently had an argument.

He then had a whole text message conversation with her over the course of the Sunday (before I sent my text) which he has now deleted. He was "helping her with her problems with her boyfriend as her self esteem is low and she is too good for him"

She works in the next office to him, is younger than him, he admits that he finds her attractive, but would never do anything because he loves me.

I am not really coping with this. I have explained to him that loving me means trusting me if there was nothing in the text messages that was untowards, that he is a fuckwit of the highest order and that he has taken the trust issue from me back 10 steps. He has reactivated my online access to his online billing. He admits that deleting them was an error of judgement.

Any advice on how to handle this? Because I am not handling it very well at the moment.

Cervical cancer? Or abnormal smear? Usually cervical changes are slow (hence the decision that it is safe to not offer smears routinely before age 25 because even if there are some changes, it takes a long time for them to become dangerous - I don't agree with this by the way and think all sexually active women should be offered smears as we were back in the dark ages when I was a teen).

Wasn't there something on the other thread about him having unprotected anal sex with the OW? If that's true and you have had abnormal smears now I actually think the decent thing, hard as it may be, is to let her know that. I'm sure you must resent her but he probably gave her all sorts of sweet talk and promises to keep her in his bed night after night at the base. He may be a carrier (given he is in the forces and has been away a lot I'm sorry to say that there could have been other sexual encounters here and there)and at least we get checked with cervical smears regularly but the same virus gives rise to anal cancer and that is so often only found when it is too late.

Meanwhile, it sounds like he was positioning himself to possibly be in the situation of rescuer of this new young girl, probably deleted the texts as they were very complimentary to her. Can you persuade him to go to therapy so he can do some soul searching about why he feels the need to get validation from conquering women? If he can't change this behaviour I fear you will be leading a life of checking up on him.

TBH, with his track record he shouldn´t be giving out his number.

I´d tell him to piss off tbh.

Anal cancer? oh fuck.

I don't doubt he wants you as his life partner with your ever so understanding attitude to infidelity and lies.
