Is OH cheating?? Acting suspicious?

So me and my OH have a 11 week old baby, been together 2 years.

Now I saw the other night he had been messaging one of his "clients". He is an estate agent. There were a lot of wink emojis and stuff in the messaging but from what I could see there was nothing overly bad in the context. I also know he searched this women on FB too. Yesterday he had an appointment at her house to put it on the market. It was a late appointment and said he would be home by 7. Got to seven and still weren't home so rang to ask when he would be home for tea. When we went to bed at 9 he complained on feeling really ill but had an email to send so I said ok and went to sleep next to him. Woke up at 1 as LO was jiggling around, I know this is bad but I did have a look at his phone and saw all messages with this client had been deleted apart from one message saying "it's time I was sleeping now :)" this was at 11pm!
I'm not going crazy am I, this does look suspicious??!

Before people say that I shouldn't have looked at his phone, I know I was wrong but in the past he has lied too. I found out he had been messaging a few girls in the past and that time I didn't look through his phone. Never any evidence of physical cheating. We have been arguing more since I've given birth.

What are people's opinions from an outside perspective? I am getting sick of the lies now, I guess I've stayed so far because of our little boy.

He seems to be trying to throw you off the scent. you want to go away with such a young baby

MintCooler · 07/09/2016 05:23

It's just for me and him as its a long way to go for a baby. Our parents said to him they will look after our LO. Surely this should have been a secret but like you said he's clearly trying to deflect my attention elsewhere! What an arse!

I think he's sensing your suspicions, and is now trying to over compensate with the affection, and booking the break away. He wants you back in your place as happy, dutiful wife.

He isn't acting professionally, and the buying and selling of houses doesn't warrant the estate agent sending messages late at night to clients. Regardless of the content, it just doesn't.

You say that he is able to twist things...he sounds a bit of a player.

I think you should give him the rope and see if he hangs himself.

Act normal, just carry on as usual. If there is anything to worry about, he will slip up.

If you have a chat now, he might get very clever and cover his tracks even more.

Bide your time, if you find out anything more, then is the time to confront, when you are certain, and he can't wriggle out of it.

Sorry this is happening, but enjoy your baby, and focus on him.

Yea I agree, he is being overly nice now! It's so obvious but he probably doesn't think so because he thinks I don't know he's messaging her! I'm going to try and collect evidence, so mentally draining though :(

Really struggling this morning with this all mentally :( I just feel like why is he acting like this? He just straight lies to my face. I feel all of this holiday rubbish is to try cover his guilt. I have a strong gut feeling he's done something but have no evidence. It's driving me insane!!

He's now changed his passcode on his phone! It's been the same one for almost a year now! He just picked up his phone and went to put in his code saw I was facing his way so pretended to fall asleep! Quite comical really!!

Thattimeofyearagain · 08/09/2016 04:32

Did you manage to see the new passcode?

MintCooler · 08/09/2016 04:38

No I didn't as he pretended to fall asleep and pretended to jump and wake up then put his phone down. Swear he thinks I'm stupid!

Oh love, he WILL slip up at some point. Using his phone at 4am is quite suspicious in itself- I'm only awake because I buggered my leg yesterday and cant sleep as I'm uncomfortable. Try to get some rest for now.Flowers

MintCooler · 08/09/2016 04:44

He was awake as LO wanted a feed and he saw he had notifications on his phone. Can't believe how comical it was! Idiot! I'm sure he will slip up soon enough too. Hope your leg gets better soon!

oh this is just awful, but as the others say gather evidence, hes not as smart as he thinks he is! He most definitely cant keep up the overly nice facade either! Get all your ducks in a row and when ready throw them at him Halo aha!

I hope you are coping ok with newborn just concentrate on him now! x

MintCooler · 12/09/2016 08:05

Update - so this OW has added him on FB now. I had a look at her profile. He told me she was married yet her profile says single and no pics with other men. Another lie! Also found he's been texting his friends gf (she's his employee too) they've been slagging so called friend/boyfriend off. He then also said to her that she missed a trick when he liked her nude pics on insta years ago. Think he fancies her but don't think she would reciprocate. Going to citizens advice today and get things started. I'm so scared but I know this is for the best

It is for the vet. He's a sleaze bag.
Well done for starting to sort out a plan.

VioletBam · 12/09/2016 08:09

Poor you OP! What a wanker he is! Did he just leave his FB open?? He's not even very good at being unfaithful!

IreallyKNOWiamright · 12/09/2016 09:12

Think you should keep a watch and take photos for evidence if the apts get outside of work time then definitely start to worry

MintCooler · 12/09/2016 12:51

No violetbam he actually mentioned his password once haha. Not very clever!! I also guessed his new passcode in 1 attempt. Was very easy. I'm certainly taking photo evidence so he can't gaslight me

OP posts:
VioletBam · 12/09/2016 13:50

Good! Record it all! Do you share a bank account?

MintCooler · 12/09/2016 15:26

No we don't share one! Thank god! When we moved in together he changed his banking from paper statements to online
