Xantham, there is NO WAY it was not deliberate, sorry.

Mozilla search bars would never show sex and porn sites as suggestions. I'm actually really good friends with a guy who is very high up in Mozilla and he said someone typed it.

I'm guessing it was your dh. Sorry.

Shame he lied to you. My partner would just be a man and tell me he fancied looking at a spot of porno. Tell yours to grow a pair.

Also - freesexdates?! I would be having serious words as that sounds like looking for hook ups.

I don't know what to say. I really don't think he would have done it. I have just done an update on Mozilla and am wondering if that is why as have never had this problem before. It wasn't in the suggestions box but in the top section. Surely that means that he would have had to type it in exactly as it was shown, ie "freesexdates". Why would he do that?

I don't think I can take it if I am wrong. I can't, I just can't - not again.

He's probably visited it before and just typed it straight in. He knows he did it. Sorry Sad

Has he agreed to not look at porn?

loserface · 06/12/2011 19:43

Just asked DP and he said the pornhub one is a genuine porn website, quite popular apparently. The freesex dates could be a pop up that has come along with the pornhub. It sounds as if he was just having a harmless wank but I dont know your relationship background so it's hard to say.

But yes, if it has been written in the top section it has been actively searched for.

Hope you're ok OP

tabulahrasa · 06/12/2011 19:46

well I've just searched vanquotedirect as one word because I was looking for that particular website not random van quote ones

No I'm not ok. Feel sick actually.

Is it the porn or the dating site? Both? I'm going to have a look at the latter now..

KissMyA · 06/12/2011 19:53

Ok it's definitely a hook up site. Do you have access to his email to see if he's registered? Or do you know a regular password he uses to check if he's messages anyone?

He may have wandered on there from a porn site so you may not need to worry, but I would need to know seeing as he's capable of lying to you

ameliagrey · 06/12/2011 19:55

I use mozilla/firefox. On the far right is the google box and to the left is the long space where you type the http/www....whatever.

if it's the long box and it's coming up once you start typing the first few letters, then he has forgotten to delete the history. if it's the google box the yes it throws up suggestions- recently searched first then other options.

you need the chat.

DonInKillerHeels · 06/12/2011 20:02

Not sure about mozilla, but itunes app store has recently been pushing a gay dating app onto DH's phone - and it's definitely itunes because DH is definitely not gay.

Technology is incredibly complicated these days. I'd give your DH the benefit of the doubt for now - but keep one eye open just in case.

I wouldn't really mind the porn, it's the Freesexdates and the Adults4Fun ones that I object to.

DonInKillerHeels · 06/12/2011 20:08

It's quite possible that if he's searched for porn, google is now pushing hookup sites at him IYSWIM, and he hasn't actively searched for them. Just a thought.

loserface · 06/12/2011 20:10

Just searched adults4fun and it has no website so I'm not sure what thats about really.
You need to talk

May have got the name of that one wrong Loserface. May have been adultdates4fun?

OP posts:
Bogeyface · 06/12/2011 20:46

Oh, its not looking good is it?

It wont show in your history if he cleared it but alot of people dont realise that it doesnt always delete the search history.

Have you tried looking on these sites to see what happens if you put in his email to log on? If it auto completes then there is a good chance he has registered there.

loserface · 06/12/2011 20:50

adultdates4fun is basically a no strings attached dating site. You can search for women wanting a 1 night stand in your area, it's all free as far as I can tell. Have you got his email address? If you have you can type it into here and see if it recognises his address. If it does then it means he has signed up to the site.

loserface · 06/12/2011 20:51

Cross post Bogeyface!

You can also go into tools / internet options/ settings/ view files, that gives all websites visited, that's if cookies and cache haven't been cleared.

ameliagrey · 06/12/2011 21:16

Om Mozilla Mal, the Tools gives you a tick box option of clearning all history/browsing etc simply by clicking the list then "delete all history"- which includes everything you mention- i think

bubblechristmaspop · 06/12/2011 21:50

He's made the rookie error of clearing search and suggestion history. You can clear your actual history and your cookies.

It won't remove your search history, from the drop down bars.

Can't sleep. Talked to him again about it tonight. He is very very upset and keeps saying that it was not him. He was cheated on previously and took it very badly and is horrified that I might think he would do the same to me. He is not angry with me by the way because he knows how he would feel if he found the same.

What do I do now? I really want to believe him and mostly I do because this just isn't his style at all. I feel so crap.

loserface · 07/12/2011 08:19

It's up to you xanthum, the pornhub isn't that bad depending on your views of porn. But the adults4fun and freesexdates is not good. Did you try his email address in the page I linked?

fiventhree · 07/12/2011 08:21

Xanthum, have to go out for day now, but you poor woman. Dont end up like me. These ladies told me in spetember that my h was lying about similar things, and he was. He had me fooled for 5 years, and I simply couldnt believe it, he was so convincing and so 'not that kind of man'.

But he was. Oh, he was. He was able to convince me time after time, but finally he admited all, under pressure of me leaving. We are at Relate.

fiventhree · 07/12/2011 08:25

I used to imagine the type of men who would do this thing, and then think of my h with his great politics, great attitude to women, good father, against men having affairs (very vocally), and think, no, just not likely at all. His face was so innocent as he lied.
