I was going to use the phone, switched off, so I turned on and looked in his inbox - have found two recent messages from a woman - don't know who, only identified as 'S'.

Shit shit shit
Now what? he's out at the moment and will probably be half pissed when he comes in

send a text to his phone now and sign it 'from your little tiger' and see his reactio nwhen he comes in?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 05/01/2007 22:37

Hunker [hurt]

It doesnt mean anything?????

I thought you loved me.....???

littlemissbossy · 05/01/2007 22:38

Get a sausgage- jumbo or chipolata your call

Draw orange and black stripes on it

Take a photo and send it to her

If she growls back in a seductive manor the game is up

welshboris · 05/01/2007 22:39

If she calls the police for harassment do not incriminate me in any way. I have friends in very high places

littlemissbossy · 05/01/2007 22:39

send it where - do you think she lives at the nearest zoo???

OP posts:
welshboris · 05/01/2007 22:39

littlemissbossy · 05/01/2007 22:39

well if you have friends in high places, they'll be able to get us both out of the shit won't they, if I'm going down, you're coming with me

Boris! PMSL!!!!!!!!!!

I sent out a general "Happy Christmas darling" text. I kinda live under the assumption that everyone has my name in their phones and so they'll know it's me. Was proved wrong when one of my salsa buddies said his wife wanted to know exactly who darling was lol (though I can see why people wouldn't laugh!) Fret not readers, all is well in the world as she knows who I am and he's now put my name in his phone.

littlemissbossy · 05/01/2007 22:50

Actually I think she's kinda sad if the first thing she does as the big ben chimes are ringing out is send everyone a text - doesn't the woman have a life??
or a life with my DH perhaps?

I think you are being over paranoid. I put kisses on all my texts, to male and female, and I have several guys' mobile numbers in my phone, most of whom are school friends of mine from South Africa. In fact one of them is married so I guess it could be said that i send kisses to someone else's husband. But he's a friend and nothing more - I've known him since I was 13.

Ask your dh about it, you don't actually even know it's a woman - it could be a gay male friend who sends out happy new year sweety messages to everyone.

Skribble · 05/01/2007 23:02

Dh got loads on Christmas bay from men and woman at work who just do send to all, and a few more personal messages but just from collegues. Sam at New Year. Total pain when having dinner and his mobile bleeps the whole time, then he sits for ages replying.

fireflyfairy2 · 05/01/2007 23:02

Forget about it. If he was having an affair he wouldn't have her under tiger in his phone!! If it were me having an affair I would have my lovers name under a womans name in my phone book! Not that I am having an affair.

When his phone beeped on NYE didn't he say who it was from? If one of us are in the room & the other gets a text we usually say who it's from [Royle family stylee]

littlemissbossy · 05/01/2007 23:06

LOL do you also ask each other "what did you have for tea?"

we were at a party of NYE so probably didn't have his phone with him - I never noticed

dreamteamgirl · 05/01/2007 23:07

Hmmmm, well as someone whose partner WAS getting texts from another woman I say you have every right to be suspicious.

The 'Tiger' bit is a little odd to me too.

Either send her a 'Hi, how you doin?' text and see what and if she replies or ask him, rationally, who Tiger is. The not knowing is almost worse than the knowing

fireflyfairy2 · 05/01/2007 23:22

No, we usually ask "what you want for tea" & then make something else entirely.

Suppose it would be an odd thing to sk in the middle of conversation would it? "Do you know anyone with the initial S?"

Ahh how about when he comes in, ask him if you can borrow his phone..make a big deal when it goes on about how it's different from yours etc...then say "Oops.. your inbox is where my compose msgs are...Oh Who's S?" Very innocently

littlemissbossy · 05/01/2007 23:24

Have also found the number in his filofax, conveniently, under the name of Tiger - what a tosser

OP posts:
fireflyfairy2 · 05/01/2007 23:25

Yes.. I would be livid.

Why did you look in his filofax?

littlemissbossy · 05/01/2007 23:27

because I'm nosey

I feel like some serious retail therapy, think I'll drag DH along, what do you reckon?

OP posts:
colditz · 05/01/2007 23:36

dp often speaks to someone clled Fluff on the phone, you would think it's a girl but it's a bloke.

skibump · 05/01/2007 23:37

Maybe s/he's actually called Tiger (Woods for instance haha)
Skribble, I'm with you REALLY irritating

pandagirl03 · 05/01/2007 23:39

Well if you wanna know wjat and if hes texting her, change the name under your number to tiger and see if you get any text messages. But this is a very dangerous thing to do and beware it could ruin your relationship with dh. What does your gut feeling tell you??

dreamteamgirl · 05/01/2007 23:44

Oooh I LIKE Pandagirls idea... very crafty.

It IS like eavesdropping tho isnt it, you have to be prepared for what you might hear
