DH looking at a dating channel, bit weird, what do I do?

Namechanged because I'm ashamed, shouldn't be but there you go.

DH works funny hours so spends time alone downstairs watching tv before/after work while I'm in bed. A few weeks ago I came downstairs later on and when I switched the TV on it was on a channel called 'Rabbit' (freeview 202 if anyone feels like looking) I didn't even wait for the screen to pop up before turning it onto what I wanted to watch so I never saw what it was.

It's been playing on my mind so I just had a look at it, it's some kind of dating tv channel where you text in, it all looks a bit like something a 15 year old would do, or one of those weird ads in the back of magazines.

It was weeks ago now and I'm not sure what he did, if he did anything, if anything comes of that sort of thing ie. would he have swapped numbers of pictures or anything, I really don't know what it's all about.

Due a baby any day now and he hasn't been very interested in me lately unless I initiate it, so I am feeling unattractive and fat. Really don't want to find out that he's looking at other women.

Background, he's never ever done anything like this before, to my knowledge. He is affectionate even though sex isn't very frequent at the moment. He never goes out without me, other than work or shopping. He's fine with me touching his phone, I've never snooped through it but he's happy to leave it laying around in my presence.

Would you confront him or leave it?

Personally I would confront him - but not in an aggressive way. He was probably just curious about the various smutty channels available. If he was seriously swapping numbers with women, surely he would be a bit more discreet?

Oh, one other weird thing, a woman keeps calling the house and just saying 'Hiiiiiiiiii' might be random and unrelated because it'd be weird to cheat and give the house phone number wouldn't it.

That's what I thought, just curiosity. But it was anfew weeks ago so if nothing happened Ill look crazy bringing it up
now wont I?

Does the random woman say anything other than hi? She may be a cold caller trying to flog you double glazing, a conservatory or a new kitchen.

Are you sure your husband has just the one phone? I very much doubt any man cheating on his wife would hand out his home phone number.

Rabbit is strangely hypnotic. If we are flicking past the channel DH and can get stuck very easily, and neither of us are remotely interested in dating anyone else.
If this is in isolation I would be very surprised if there was anything in it.

Oh and you won't look crazy bringing up the fact he has been watching/participating in some sort of dating TV (sounds very old-fashioned) - you need to know for your own peace of mind.

Definitely only has one phone, we're on a very tight budget and all finances controlled by me - Id know if he bought another one.

She says hi, I ask who she is, she hangs up. She has a local accent and is calling from a local number.

I might just leave it on the channel for when he comes in later and watch his reaction. If he was only looking out of curiosity he should laugh about it with me, if he looks shocked or anything I think that will tell me.

Have you tried ringing the local number back and asking what the woman who keeps ringing your home number actually wants?

Good idea about putting the Rabbit channel on and see what he says - hopefully he will laugh and it will all be out in the open. I'm sure he would be a lot more circumspect if he was even thinking about contacting other women.
