Cheating husband? Help with WhatsApp please!

I recently downloaded WhatsApp to my phone to talk to a particular friend who is not on Facebook. I knew my husband had it so wasn't surprised when he popped up in my contacts. I mentioned it to him and he said he hadn't used it since messaging a friend a few months ago.
I saw the last seen thing when I sent my friend a message and, being nosy, clicked on my husbands. I was out at the time and it said last seen about 10 mins after I went out. This was about a week ago and he seems to go on it once a day when I'm not about. He has an iPhone and leaves all his apps open but always swipes this one away. He has 3 old chats on WhatsApp but when I looked in the data and storage bit there were 3 more numbers - 2 saying 2 messages and one saying 1 photo, he has deleted them since I told him I have the app.
I then looked in network usage, and the status media bytes received is showing MB rather than KB as everything else does. That's a lot right?
I googled WhatsApp status and see that you can post a status that lasts 24 hours. Now I'm wondering if that's why he only goes on it once a day, to look for a status update from someone. There were none in there this morning when I looked, but if I do find one and open it will he know?
He seems perfectly normal and I have no reason to suspect anything is wrong apart from him lying about not going on this app. I have no idea what I'm doing with WhatsApp so would appreciate any info people can offer.

Sorry for such a long post.

That's not the point...but betrayed should be thinking about what she's going into.
Equally the blame for her husband possibly cheating does not lie with the prostitute

CharlieBoo · 21/02/2018 20:53

100% agree she needs to be very careful and not go alone. Also agree his cheating cannot be blamed at all on the prositute but if it were me I still wouldn’t even consider her loss of earnings.. betrayed is just trying to get to the truth ..

freddiemercury · 21/02/2018 21:17

But OP needs to consider the loss if earnings because it impacts on the situation she will be going into...ie a possibly angry situation

Scrumptiousbears · 21/02/2018 21:19

If it is a prostitute I can't see why he would be on WhatsApp every time you leave the room.

Lookatyourwatchnow · 21/02/2018 21:37

What a cunt, OP I hope you are ok. I know you're not, but you will be in the end you know.

apacketofcrisps · 21/02/2018 22:21

GL. I hope he stays in alone tomorrow OP

And by making a fake booking you have damaged her business (she may have turned away a genuine client who wanted that time slot

Confused

Did you not understand? Ford was pointing out to OP that she could, potentially, have caused some ill feeling to the sex worker and possible pimp.

DavidBowiesNumber1 · 21/02/2018 23:03

Therefore putting the OP in a vulnerable/dangerous situation

RedWineAllMine · 21/02/2018 23:08

When you press delete message on Watsapp it only deletes it from your phone. It doesn't delete it from watsapp servers or your iCloud, it will permanently be on iCloud, unless saved data over rides it. But it takes a lot of rolling saved data to replace that message.

It sounds shifty to me.

RedWineAllMine · 21/02/2018 23:10

I should add it will only be on iCloud if the option to back up WhatsApp data is turned on. You can opt not to back up WhatsApp data n chats.

MrsDc7 · 21/02/2018 23:12

God this is shocking Shock good luck for tomorrow OP Flowers

Hotdoggity · 21/02/2018 23:16

Presumably though, OP’s friend’s DH can cancel appointment immediately as all they needed was the address.

aftertheevent · 21/02/2018 23:51

Hmmmm this is how I uncovered years of sex worker use by finding one text to am independent escort. My mind worked backwards and I thought an inexperienced man wouldnt do this bit must have been using parlours first and I was right.
Check cash withdrawls ATM.
My di was also v keen to know details of when I was out.
Not sure I would follow him tho.
Stay safe.

Reddlion · 22/02/2018 05:07

adayatthebeach · 22/02/2018 05:14

Is this for real? Shock

Livinglifepeachy · 22/02/2018 05:25

Hi

I've used what's app pretty much over 8years. The best way to describe WhatsApp is like Skype. Usually people change their profile pictures and don't update their status every day.. Does your partner never receive text messages? As usually nowadays people WhatsApp rather than text or WhatsApp call hope this helps

KateGrey · 22/02/2018 05:55

I’m sorry OP. What an utter bastard.

isthismylifenow · 22/02/2018 06:00

Adaya

Are you trying to imply something?

All the best for today Betrayed, whatever you decide to do. I think find my phone tracking is good idea then you know where he has been. Then if you ask him later and he comes out with some bullshit, you have hard facts without putting yourself in a precarious position.

Arapaima · 22/02/2018 06:19

Good luck today OP.

Stella60 · 22/02/2018 06:31

Hope you get some answers. Always a believer(now!) in listening to the gut. Sorry for how you must be feeling

Hotpinkangel19 · 22/02/2018 08:17

Hoping it's not as bad as you think op x

PilatesSuck · 22/02/2018 08:41

Oh OP i am sorry, thats rubbish.

betrayedorcrazy · 22/02/2018 09:40

Thank you everyone. Too many messages to reply to individually.
ford thanks for the advice. We did actually text back straight away pretending to be the angry wife and cancelled the appointment.
So the latest update I have is making me convinced I'm right.
He went to his appointment last night (and he did, I tracked him) and came home with a few bits of shopping I had asked him to get from Tesco. I noticed as he was putting it away he stuffed the receipt right down the side of the bin. I got it out later and there was £20 cashback. But no cash in his wallet.
So I expect it is in his car somewhere, probably along with a few others he is stockpiling.
The hookers address just looks like a private house, I drove round and had a look. I can park in a road opposite and see her front door. If that's where he goes. I feel so sick.
