Well it’s not really an ‘I think’ really, I just have

There was an unfamiliar beeping coming from the coat/shoe cupboard so I went in to investigate and found a phone in DPs coat, a cheap little Nokia with just one contact - a woman’s name

I am home alone with 4 kids trying not to cry but honestly I could throw up right now
Wtf

Have you read the messages? Or is it locked Flowers

plusonefail · 03/08/2018 15:59

That’s pretty conclusive evidence Sad Were you at all suspicious before you found it? I’m sorry, you must be in total shock.

Mumshotel · 03/08/2018 15:59

Breathe deeply and calm down first. Get yourself together before doing anything rash. I would be tempted to send a couple of vauge msg to try and clarify what it is incase its not. But have you Facts built up before confronting him.
Check the sent texts and see what he has said.

NicoAndTheNiners · 03/08/2018 16:00

Could you ring the number, do,you recognise the name?

Aprilshowersinjuly · 03/08/2018 16:00

Copy the number down, put it into your phone, refresh what's app and get a profile pic.

Alfiemoon1 · 03/08/2018 16:00

So sorry op do u have anyone who could come and help with the kids. Are there any messages or call logs

kenandbarbie · 03/08/2018 16:00

Well it sounds bad. Could it be a long list sister or daughter? Unlikely but just thought I'd throw it out there.

ScienceIsTruth · 03/08/2018 16:01

What do you want to do now? Do you know how you want to handle it?

28holid · 03/08/2018 16:01

Agreed, don't do anything rash. Don't question him yet, it gives him a chance to hide things that you may uncover.

So sorry

It isn’t locked no, there aren’t many messages, looks like they’ve all been deleted, they’re all just things like ‘be 20 minutes’ or ‘I’m on my way’ etc
The only one from her is an address from a while ago
There are a few phone calls in the log

It looks like the last time he saw her was on Wednesday night when he’d ‘nipped our to drop something off at his mates’

We’ve never had brilliant trust but it was more things like him flirting to a level that I wasn’t happy with and things like that, I don’t think I really thought he’d ever actually have an affair

SavannahSky · 03/08/2018 16:06

Address of where?

FuckyDuzz · 03/08/2018 16:07

No idea, just looks like a house address

That’s the only one in the inbox and it was sent a few months ago
There’s more in the sent box from him so obviously everything in between has been deleted

Omg!
That's a brilliant suggestion with the whatsapp tho! You may recognise her from her picture

I have no advice but just want to say how sorry I am you're going through this!
What a Cunt

Trinny80 · 03/08/2018 16:09

I would send a text saying something like. I'm missing you, do you want me to come over later!!
I know it's bad but I couldn't help myself!

rubyjude · 03/08/2018 16:09

Of gosh, you poor thing :( I hate to say it, but maybe a prostitute?

EvaHarknessRose · 03/08/2018 16:09

Could it be a sex worker? Sorry its happening to you.

ShesABelter · 03/08/2018 16:09

Stick her number in your phone as a contact and then go on WhatsApp and see who she is from her profile pic.

rubyjude · 03/08/2018 16:09

Because of the shortness of the messages, the address etc

TurnipCake · 03/08/2018 16:09

I'm sorry OP. Sex worker also crossed my mind

Mumshotel · 03/08/2018 16:09

Copy address name and number.
Add number to what's app
Take the SIM out and put phone back
Put SIM in your phone and wait for 1. Contact 2. For him to notice and bring it up.

Stripedtights · 03/08/2018 16:10

Sorry op that's awful! Flowers I think that's pretty concrete though.

Mumshotel · 03/08/2018 16:10

Google address

Trinny80 · 03/08/2018 16:11

Also don't put the phone back keep hold of it!
Sorry your going through this 😡
