Anonymous message

[LittleNickola]

I received an anonymous text at 11pm last night, which seems to have been sent from an app (I don't think it's possible to send a reply). It tells me a date, and says that my husband slept with someone in a hotel that night while he was away from home. I've checked the date (which was 3 years ago!!) and he was indeed away that night.
I feel sick. I've always felt that he's untrustworthy and he has form for sending inappropriate flirty messages to colleagues that I've discovered, but I've never had hard evidence of actual cheating.
I need advice on what to do next... would you trust this message?! Could it be malicious? Why tell me after 3 years?? And how can I get my husband to tell the truth. He'll simply deny it if I show him....

I agree with the last poster who said that I'm being cruel. I don't feel it's right to proceed like this so I'm going to tell him that he's seen the extent of the messages, and explain that I felt extremely scared of being lied to, so decided to be deceitful myself.
If someone genuinely wants me to know something, they'll get in touch again. But I'm starting to think it's more likely that this is someone who wanted to cause trouble.

That's just how my bf reacted LittleNickola although we had a name. He was confused and his concern was what I was thinking/feeling.
The anger at her did come a bit later when we both knew the truth.

I'd be inclined to believe him.

I don't think there are any reliable rules of thumb about liars because we can never have accurate data...we only ever hear about unsuccessful liars and have no clue about the numbers who get away with it.

Anyone could pick up his phone and get your number.... when this happened to my friend she is pretty sure it was the OW but seeing as this is 3 years ago they're scraping the bottom of the barrel aren't they? Sheer evil.

So many people have my mobile, the plumber, the electrician all sorts of people.

Offices are terrible for gossip, sometimes people think there's something going on when there isn't. Some low life hates you, your DH or both sadly.
