Catching my husband cheating?

I can go into the back story later if needed, I just need to know if I need to get this set up quickly…

In a nutshell, I'm 99% certain my "D"H is up to something. I've found out from the wife of his friend that he cheated a while ago and he's been behaving so suspiciously recently that I'm sure he's up to something again. I'm not kicking him out though until I have proof, as he'd just go for the wounded party thing, and I'm not having that. He denies everything when confronted.

So, he's away apparently visiting a friend this weekend... I can't follow him to see where he goes as I have commitments that I can't get out of, so my (psycho wife) idea is to send my old phone with a PAYG sim hidden in in his car, so I can see where he (or at least his car) actually is...

Forget the rights and wrongs, will this work to track him assuming the phone is on silent and Bluetooth etc turned off so the car doesn't link to the phone? Am I completely insane?

Really hope things work out today op and that you get the answer you need.
Crossing fingers that your DH has gone on his work trip as planned.

CoolGirlsNeverGetAngry · 18/11/2018 12:10

Just to seeing that the whatsapp tracking thing lasts 8hours! Good luck op.

Once a cheat, always a cheat.
Trust is already lacking because he has done this before. I hope for your sake he is where he says he is x

SparklyMagpie · 18/11/2018 12:29

Hope you're ok this morning OP, and it worked

JW1226 · 18/11/2018 12:41

Gosh my stomachs in knots for you this morning ! I hope you managed to hide it OP!

Mouseville65 · 18/11/2018 12:58

@Ss770640

You missed suddenly accusing you of cheating with no real grounds too - this to me is the biggest sign.

I'm sorry everyone, I bottled out. I know, I'm disappointed in myself too! I was just so worried that he would find it. I do have another plan in play though, I'll be back to update later if/when I hear something...

Sorry to sound so cryptic, but you never know who is on here!!

Dont worry OP most people on here oblybqanred you to do it out of their own curiosity.

You don't need proof he's a shit. You know it.

Mayhemmumma · 18/11/2018 16:19

Only wanted!

Wordthe · 18/11/2018 16:34

I was just so worried that he would find it
I think thats understandable, nothing wrong with being cautious and listening to your instincts

Graphista · 18/11/2018 16:40

Totally understandable. I hope you manage to resolve things somehow

bethy15 · 18/11/2018 18:04

You don't need all this though.

You obviously have no trust in him if you have to resort to all of this to see where he's going, and you already know he's a cheat anyway, because you've been told the truth from a friend.

BasilFaulty · 18/11/2018 19:18

bethy15 you can't deny it's always better to have as much proof as possible though, especially because he sounds like he'll just weasel out of it.
Hope you get answers either way OP Flowers

dontpointatme · 18/11/2018 19:31

So, sorry for the wait for the update! I managed to see him leaving town with a "workmate" in the car with him that I have had suspicions about for a good while. He has been far too involved in helping her out with things outside of work.

Anyway, they are holed up in a lovely looking hotel (four poster beds and the lot) two hours drive from where I am!

I have a picture of his car parked outside there tonight, he was meant to be flying to Germany at 5 PM today. I have spoken to him on the phone and he's obviously denying everything, I just kept asking him whether he wanted his stuff dumped outside our front doors or hers…

So sorry OP. The bastard!!x

Honeyroar · 18/11/2018 19:35

Oh god, what a bastard. I hope you're ok. I'm glad you've got some proof.

Torvi · 18/11/2018 19:35

Oh op I'm so sorry. But good for you for confronting him Thanks

Santaispolishinghissleigh · 18/11/2018 19:43

Good on you op. My now dh caight his ex cheating by following them to the cinema, blagged his way in and confronted them!
Forgave her but caught them again - actually dtd!

Creamontop · 18/11/2018 19:58

Sorry to hear that, although at least you have the proof you were after and know that your not going insane. I would have needed direct proof like you. I suggest dumping his belongings at the nearest charity shop, or perhaps be a bit more considerate and dump it somewhere between yours and hers Wink - perhaps a roundabout or something...

loveyoutothemoon · 18/11/2018 20:10

Did you follow him or did someone else?

Graphista · 18/11/2018 20:14

Sorry to learn that. However obvious it may be we always hope it isn't the case.

Is she married/committed too?

Otterseatpuffinsdontthey · 18/11/2018 20:21

Sometimes really despair about people's behaviour.
Sorry for you Flowers
