Suspect DH has used Tinder

12 replies

Keepingcoolwhenitshot · 09/01/2018 13:37

In his phone history is a search for 'how do I add a line on tinder' I have no idea what this even means but suspect he must have been on it. Why else would he google that? He has a history of being dishonest about things unless I catch him out so doubt he will tell me the truth. Any advice?

Can you access his phone?
Is it an iphone?
If so then go into settings then Baterry.
Wait about 30 secs and cursor down.
It will show which apps he has been on and for what % of time.
That's always the best way.
So for me I have Tinder at 24% - a game at 17% - Waze at 13% - etc....
It's a real eye opener, let me tell you!

Do you know anyone on Tinder who he doesn't know who can have a browse for you?
She may have already swiped left on him but worth a shot?

I mean he could be doing it for a friend. I problem solve all sorts for friends and family.

I’m afraid I’ve never used it so don’t know what it means. I’d assume it was about editing a profile.

I don't know about him being on Tinder he probably has but how do you stay with someone who you say you don't trust?

Missonihoni · 09/01/2018 13:54

Do you check his phone history or was it by mistake this came up.

IntoTheFloodAgain · 09/01/2018 14:00

Just for a different point of view.. When I’m googling something on my phone, sometimes the suggestions change as I type quicker than they load so instead of clicking the first one I click the second one. This happens to me quite regularly, so my search history would be full of things my dh would probably find weird.

I’m not sure how/if tinder related suggestions would come up however.

Can you do more snooping before you bring it up?

What about registering yourself to see if you can find him.

furryous · 09/01/2018 14:05

Google swipe buster. You have to pay but it's not much. It searches the database and if he's on there it'll come up.

Keepingcoolwhenitshot · 09/01/2018 14:40

I found it by mistake. He's admitted it. Said it was a bit of fun. We have very recently decided to separate. Well, I have said I can't take living with him anymore. Can't believe it really. He's tried to suggest we don't separate and I give him ANOTHER chance. Then behind my back ...... guess my gut feeling about our marriage being over was right . Still not easy to stomach . 😢

Sorry Keepingcool :(

It's likely more a distraction thing for him than actually wanting to replace you so fast. Though does sound like it's over as you want.

Hope you find happiness soon xx

You're so better off without someone who lies to you and who you have to "catch out" before you can know the truth.

I know it hurts now, but he's done you a favour, shown you his colours and now you know you're better off not giving him more chances.

It doesn't make it hurt less though, and for that I'm sorry.

Keepingcoolwhenitshot · 09/01/2018 20:04

Thank you grunkle It's hard to believe he can be so flippant saying oh it's just a bit of fun. I was bored. Nice. When I'm bored I watch a bit of tv or read. I told him it was over last month as he has lied to me about so much and mainly his feelings for me. He has admitted he hasn't been happy with me for years and only stayed with me for the DC. Thanks for nothing. I've wasted 8 years trying to make him love me when all along he was ready to look at others atvthe drop of a hat. Men. Are there ever any nice ones 😩
