He emptied his pockets on the kitchen table the other day. I picked up a set of cards, 1 pay as you go top up card for tesco mobiles and 1 card that has the pop off tesco sim with the sim already out of the card.

Neither of us has a tesco mobile. some of the printed writing on the cards has been scratched, so it looks to me like it's a few weeks old and been in his pocket for a while.

I asked him whats this? do you have a second phone? he said no and said he did not know how it ended up there. I asked him again he shrugged and said i dont know!

I stupidly rang the number there and then but it went to voice mail. he looked unsurprised and smiled. I thought he seemed smug and unsurprised. I checked the number of mobile validation on a website and it says its a valid active number.

So as not to drip feed,

He has a mobile phone which he had for years and he has never stopped me accessing or using it or borrowing it.

The relationship isn't going well and he has 2 days a week where i am not around but he usually looks scruffy, doing DIY or lazing about in work clothes. His job is manual and he has been coming home 2 hours later smelling of booze since 2 or 3 months ago. He says he is drinking at the workshop with his work mates after work. when i call him he doesnt answer or if he does he keeps the conversation very brief almost grunting instead of actually talking properly like i am at X and i will be back at X he's like umm hmmm. he comes home smelly and filthy from his job so, i can't imagine he is having sex afterwards?!

He doesn't look clean or groomed as if meeting someone but I'm wondering if i'm being stupid or what

What do I do? am I paranoid?

Ooops my bad, just seen that you've found a phone and the secret sim card was is it.

Maybe he brought the secret phone to give to someone so they can contact eachother? A secret phone just to contact him on? That could be why he's been ringing his own number?

Can you see when the sim was activated on the Tesco web site ?

If the phone call had calls to dh’s phone, could he have given it to someone else to contact him, but now has it back (for whatever reason). Maybe he thought by planting it, you would find it, and find nothing suspicious on it, so everything would be okay.

He’s definitely hiding something.

*”I don’t know how the cards got in my pocket.”
*Smug look.
*Planting old phone to throw you off the scent.
*Lying, stonewalling, gaslighting.
*Other unnamed incidents.

bamboo, this man is making a fool of you and treating you with utter contempt. Why would you tolerate one more moment of his manipulation? Tell him to leave or walk away.
