Wow, really hoped this one was going to work :(

Boyfriend of 3 years, moved in 12 months ago (no kids, my house), thought things were going really well, certainly no problems i am aware of.

Tonight when using his tablet (with permission) i found out he has had tinder and match installed. They were in his googles app store, they had been deleted from the device, but still show under the All Apps menu. They were not there 4 months ago.

I have to end it. He is out working and will be home after 11. i'm just so so sad. My last relationship wasn't great, really thought i had a good one this time.

i'm feeling really sad and really... i don't even know. just looking for a bit of support really, and strength to do this.

Well until the OP reappears and clears that up, ellisandre we don't know enough.

As I said, in my past my ex used dating apps. I wasn't happy, and I'd thought we were having a difficulty, not enough to go out and try to meet new people. She thought differently. She didn't mention it at the time, I only found out later that she'd rejoined and paid for it. If I'd found out, she may have lied. Who can say?

To my mind it wasn't unfaithful though, or underhanded. It was a complication in a complex relationship.

If now I discovered that she had the apps on her iTunes, I probably wouldn't worry about it. Especially given what user says about the way they work

And if she made a joke, I'd think it was a bit dickish and insensitive, but not worth shouting about.

Possibly they're in the exact same situation, possibly it's very different, no point arguing about it though unless there's enough information from the op to say which of us is right.

OP, have the dating apps been reinstalled on his phone or are they in his App Store history because at one point he did install them?

User's first post was helpful and informative. Then he told the op to massage her boyfriend's ego and have sex with him to make up for mistrusting him. Sorry, s*x. Women can be forgiven for thinking there is something off about the man...

I've just read the last pars of user's last rant post and I've just been a bit sick in the back of my throat Grin

Op I hope you're ok. Flowers

User184.. obviously set this thread up so he could have a rant.

Gallavich I agree the first list was ok apart from the need he felt to give us all his stellar credentials. But several women had already posted similar things, without the cv listing, and been pretty much ignored.

It all went downhill from there with user when he started telling the OP how sorry she should be for doubting her Man

Bottom line: apps do not install if you have never installed them. They just don't. I am not an IT person, I cannot cite anything, but it doesn't happen. Otherwise we would all have loads of random apps on our devices. That is just common sense.

OP's DP has, at some point in the recent past, installed the apps. The OP said she had checked and there were no dating app installed.
