Dh has been secretly recording me help

Shit, total shock here.
I've just been onto a hard drive my DH bought a while ago for us to share as last pc crashed and I lost all my spreadsheets I use for tax return,

I created a new folder for each of us and dragged all his stuff into his folder. He had loads of MP3 files and assumed it was music so I've opened one up to play as if it is current music I was going to delete it as its on iTunes. But the MP3 recordings weren't music they were recordings of me. The first one I opened was of Big Bang theory from last night and had me talking to my dog. The next one was the tv I was watching again last night.
WTF is he playing at, I just don't understand it. 22 mp3 recordings lasting about 5 mins each.

How is he doing this? Can anyone tell me if its the ps4 that's recording me?

He's gone to work so I can't have this out until late tonight.

It all just seems very odd still. Why would he do this?
I hope you get answeres soon OP

rainbowstardrops · 07/10/2015 17:50

answers. Trying to multitask Confused

ValancyJane · 07/10/2015 17:51

Sorry, just saw that you've got a friend coming round, it's good that you are telling someone in real life and sorting out copies of the files!

DoreenLethal · 07/10/2015 17:52

If you are being recorded, he will no doubt hear you telling your friend and have heard you listening to the recordings...

SmokingGun · 07/10/2015 17:54

Just a thought, but too be totally sure it's your phone he's recording from could you leave your phone in the bedroom, shut the door and go and do something noisy in another room? Use the blender or something? Then move your phone closer as its running. The recording should show if it's def your phone and not some other recording device in the house or your handbag or something

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 07/10/2015 17:55

I agree. You need to finish this relationship ASAP.

This is creepy as anything.

Has he ever accused you of having an affair?

My dad put key logging software on my mums pc and monitored her via that. He was rightly suspicious she was having an affair and got the evidence.

lunar1 · 07/10/2015 17:56

This is honestly the creepiest thing I've read on here. Can your friend be with you when you confront him?

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 07/10/2015 18:00

looks like there are such apps

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 07/10/2015 18:02

If he's been doing it for so long then surely he will have realised by now that you're not seeing anyone?

So why keep doing it? Makes me wonder if he has some sort of serious control thing going on?

RedMapleLeaf · 07/10/2015 18:06

I hope he realises how serious this is and why you're right to be concerned by his behaviour.

Cel982 · 07/10/2015 18:08

He may not be acting rationally at all, this could be an early manifestation of a psychotic illness.

OP, please don't be alone with him at all until you've sorted this out.

YouBastardSockBalls · 07/10/2015 18:11

Simon that app is scary! Surely it can't be legal!??

RustyParker · 07/10/2015 18:16

Creepy as fuck.

Please either get out of there or definitely get your friend over so you aren't alone.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 07/10/2015 18:18

I don't think it is legal. The govt is not allowed to do this so can't imagine a persons husband is. Id be going to the police once I inew I was safe.

LadyLonely1 · 07/10/2015 18:18

This is really scary and creepy op. I agree you need to get someone around with you when you confront him for your own safety. I really hope there is somehow a reasonable explanation for this, can't imagine what he hopes to achieve.

Asteria36 · 07/10/2015 18:20

Bloody hell daisy- just read the whole thread. How creepy for you. I do hope that you get to the bottom of this. Obviously it would be fab if there was a totally simple explanation, but it really doesn't look good. Kinda takes the wonder out of the wonders of modern technology

MerdeAlor · 07/10/2015 18:46

Wow this is moving fast OP, I can hardly keep up.

When are you thinking of confronting him?

phoenixfox · 07/10/2015 19:03

Simon I can't believe that app!

I'm another that thought it was happening accidentally but now there really is no explanation that isn't sinister. Hope you are ok op.

SoozeyHoozey · 07/10/2015 19:29

Very bizarre!

DolphinsPlayground · 07/10/2015 19:33

Please tells you aren't mm ing from your phone?

How awful for you OP. I can't think of any rational, acceptable explanation for any of this. I'm so sorry. What an awful situation for you to be in

stuckinahole · 07/10/2015 20:27

Hope everything ok OP?

PipersOrange · 07/10/2015 20:30

Thinking of you OP. Hope everything is okay and you have your friend with you if you do confront him

HaloEveSteve · 07/10/2015 20:33

Omg op I really didn't want to jump to conclusions, that's why I said it's probably a mistake unless there's a back story. I don't think that now. Stay safe op, this is scary and hard to realise this is real life not aa TVdrama. I'm glad you've got a friend coming round.
