Totally agree brinkley, just don't think charging in with 'Are you having an affair' is the right way to approach it. Definitely up to YG's dh to sort it out.

brinkley · 17/04/2005 15:19

agree too tortoiseshell - wouldnt accuse him of affair, but personally would want more reassurance that contact had stopped so you could rule any doubts out. that only seems fair to me.

brinkley · 17/04/2005 15:22

ygirl - sorry to talk as if you arn't there - hope you are feeling a bit better today and this is getting sorted out

I've only just seen this YG - it must be v stressful .

I don't know if the following helps, but this is what happenened with a friend of mine, when, at 6 months pregnant with her first child, she began to worry that her dh might be having an affair.

Firstly, she took the approach suggested by tortoishell's dh, not accusing her dh of anything, but making sure he knew how distressing the situation was to her etc. He denied categorically anything was going on, she was a nuisance, didn't know what to do to get rid etc etc. She suggested he ask her out for a drink, pretending it would be just him turning up, when in fact, she would turn up too, nothing threatening, but a "hey, dw decided to come along too, isn't that lovely !". Her dh came up with every reason in the book why this was a bad idea. From then on, although she hated it, she turned detective, monitoring his movements and his mobile.

Unfortunately, she found out he was having an affair (text on his mobile which she found when he was in the bath left her in no doubt what had been going on).

I hope it all turns out to be just someone who is a PITA who can't take a hint.

YG - Im sorry she's still/back on the scene I agree that dh needs to tell her in no uncertain terms to back off but Im afraid I also agree that you may need to look at it as a whole picture too and I feel horrid saying that. My older sister was having an affair for 5 years without absolutely anyone knowing. She too hardly went out without her dh but somehow managed to find time somewhere to be with him although to be fair they did work together but then again, her dh's uncle worked there too!

jampots · 17/04/2005 19:01

also can you maybe change his settings so unbeknownst to him his outgoing messages are saved?

munz · 17/04/2005 19:14

yg - any luck what's happening hon. I do keep looking in to see if things have changed, hope it all works out for the best.

bubblerock · 17/04/2005 19:56

HM I think I'm following you! YG, it isn't your fault, you know it isn't. I hope you sort things out. Is there anyway you could get away for a while with DH or without him? Time together might help you sort things, time without might make him realise what he is making a mess of.

Jayzmummy · 18/04/2005 06:05

Oh YG....you poor love....I have just caught up with this.....Im so sorry....thinking of you...stay safe.
