so a man called "adam" text me today while i was hanging out my washing to clarify i don't know an adam and my husband picked up the text which said hiya babe x he text back who is this "its adam x" so he texts a few more times asking who are you why the flip are you texting my wife no answer then he rings he gets hung up on then he texts again saying someone is giving out my wifes number without her permission who gave you her number? the guy is panicked by now and tells him he is driving and ends the call

my husband has just started work after nearly two years of being unemployed he has just worked 4 12 hour shifts in a row (day/day to night and two night shifts) his car is dodgy and he is not seeing us much or sleeping he is now upset/angry and thinks ive cheated on him in the two weeks he has been working (i have not) it doesn't help that he is spending his one day off with his brother fixing his car

im at a loss as to how to reassure him i'm not doing anything i've told him to get me a new sim card while he is out tried to talk to him (he really didn't want to talk to me) i've dismissed it as a wrong number but im afraid he can't

his ex wife cheated on him while he was at work this is probably looking too familier a scenario

apart from re-stating i don't cheat (which he knows) pointing out logistically i don't have time to (three kids two in two separate schools one at home who is a limpet) i do everything at home and kids related ive even been washing drying and ironing his clothes for work staying up late and getting up excruciatingly early with him i can't seem to do/say anything

i've just watched all the trust in my marriage blow out the door

DH once phoned one of DS's friends (they would've been about 16 at the time) in this mien. We laugh about it now. Some men just get more worked up about this kind of thing than others. Given time it will settle down, when your DH realises it was a genuine mistake. Poor Adam's probably changed his number by now! Congratulations on your DH getting a job, btw. It's been 15months without work for my DH and that eats away at self esteem too.

Why should Adam be left alone? Sure, he's made an innocent mistake. We all make mistakes, and then we have to live with the consequences of having made them.
