‘D’H has a female colleague listed on his frequently contacted list but no chat history for her. Plenty of other chats there so he has deliberately hidden her. Anyone got any advice on how I can look at their history? Thanks

Not in a smug / judgey way OP, but i think it is weird- imho- when a partner keeps a phone locked and private. As in, my DH and I wouldn't just randomly look at each other's phones, but we do know each other's passwords and pins and sometimes ask each other to check something from the other room or whatever. Does he have your phone pin? I.e. is the relationship unequal in that way which therefore makes his secrecy stand out, or do you both keep pins / passwords etc private.

@BoredofGin OH was showing me something on his phone quite late at night ( 11pm ) and a message appeared on his phone, I read the first part ' Hi Sexy, Happy belated Birthday' and got senders name but OH swiped it away manically before I could clock the rest of the message.

I demanded to see the messages between them but within minutes he had deleted it all and had block her as she was 'mental' 'drunk' and a 'nutter'.

He made out she was random customer from an old work place. So why did she have his number, knew his birthday and was calling him 'Sexy' ? He feigned that he had no idea. Complete bullshit but I had no evidence either way.

He uses lots of social media platforms google hangouts being one I have noticed pinging on his phone recently. Messenger and whatsapp too.

We don't have children together, thankfully.

I am waiting for the slip up here, I am all out of fucks to give now.

Agree @palmtree80 - I'm open with my phone as I have nothing to hide, OH knows my unlock code. I don't know his. Funny that huh?

I do know his passcode for both his personal and work phones, as well as log ins for his social media accounts. The grey area for him is his work accounts. We happily look at each other phones etc, but hangout is only on his work phone and he only uses it for work so it would feel weird for me to look at it. I noticed her message pop up as he’d left his work phone on the side. Previous emails I mentioned were also from his work account. Only noticed because, again, notifications had popped up.

He’s away lots working, I think sometimes with her, so lots of time for him to send messages or see her.

Bungalow, I’m sorry. Your situation seems a little more obvious than the one I’m in.

I hope you get to the bottom of these work texts @BoredofGin I really hope he isn't going down the same route that I have had to deal with.

Stay strong, and demand he discloses all to you.
