Samsung Secure Folder

[stupidorparanoid]

Hello MN I need some advice.
I was going through my husband phone, looking at pictures on his gallery (with his permission). Then I pressed the recent app, something came up as secure folder, I couldn't get into it as it needed a pin to go in. I asked him about it and denied installing it and said that it came with the Samsung phone. I insisted and then he tried a few pins which he says he uses and said it was not working. He later said to me that he managed to unlock it and gave me access t o eh secure folder. I didn't even bother looking as I am thinking, if there was anything incriminating, then he would have deleted it before giving me the phone.
Should I be worried? does anyone know anything about secure folders?
Thanks

@Shakeitoff and @discontinuedhusband I get both your points. I do agree though that looking for proof just makes it harder and painful. I also think that I dont care whether people believe me or not, as only I know what I've been going through. The not going on family holiday is a dealbreaker for me... I already feel like a single mother!
@shakeitoff People who dont believe you or think it's your fault, they are not your friends and dont worry what they think. Their opinions wont change your life. Me personally I dont care what people say, it's my heart that I need to convince!

i'm glad you feel that way OP!

and shakeitoff please don't think i don't understand why you'd want more proof, even if only for your own peace of mind!

i absolutely understand, and would no doubt feel exactly the same.

that you strongly feel you need irrefutable proof says a lot about how our society conditions women to just accept unhappiness in unbalanced relationships.

your unhappiness is a good enough reason to consider ending a relationship.

You can download an app that restores deleted pictures. I accidentally deleted pics from my sons phone. It found 100'sand restored them. Maybe try that

@thanosthenutsack what app is it? Does it restore from secure folder as well.

my huawei has AppTwin on it and says

Twin App lets you log in to two different accounts for the same app at the same time.

I can turn it on for facebook, whatsapp and messenger.

I dont think Samsung has this feature

I think it is called disk digger photo recovery. Search for 'restore photos' on the playstore and a few come up. I don't know if it works for secure/private photos but I can't see why it wouldn't.

So he's not going on holiday because he needs to think? What exactly is he going to think about?

@thanosthenutsack
OMG it really works. I've just tried it on my phone!! Just need to get hold of his phone for long enough to download app, install and get deleted photos!!!

@hollowtalk about this whole thing, my suspicions, his friendship as he swears blind that's all it is. And also he feels am being unreasonable expecting him to stop talking to her, they work together and if she talks to him he will not be rude. Blah blah blah

What a load of bollocks. He senses you’re gearing up to kick him out, so he needs the time while you’re on holiday to lock her down as the next thing to bounce to.

@whackitipto200 I told him that while he is thinking about all this, take some time and think what a shit father he is being.

Yep, load of bollocks is right. Does he really think you're unreasonable? Maybe he should ask some other blokes how their wives would respond.

He called and said he will come and join us tomorrow!

@stupidorparanoid

What have you said? This is the problem I have- I think they try and act like there's nothing going on but secretly txt etc and I can't cope with it. If he's willing to go so far to txt her then it shows he likes her my eyes.

@stupidorparanoid

If it was a friendship why hide pics of her?! My dp never said that but did use the line when I text her myself "I have to work with her" which I thought was a bit rich trying to spare her feelings

@shakeitoff he spoke directly to DC and said hes coming to join us tomorrow. There was nothing I could say. DC was so excited that daddy isn't working anymore and coming to join us! Whatever happens he is a good father (except for the shitty stunt he pulled for this holiday).

@stupidorparanoid

It's so hard when you have dc together. That's the only reason I'm sticking it out for dc.. we had a break up before n it was torture not seeing dc every weekend.

I hope he reassures you. I'm living off reassurance atm he's been telling me he's not talking to her at work but it's clear he is

#stupidorparanoid so sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you have all the answers you need without having to look for proof.

More proof? That would be unnecessary for me. In my marriage, these behaviors would scream infidelity and disloyalty. This is no ‘friendship.’

*Inappropriate, flirty texting with OW
*Secretly keeping her photo
*Lying about his secure folder
*Manipulation by using anger, stonewalling, gaslighting, minimizing, and deflection of blame
*Disregarding your feelings
*Prioritizing OW’s feelings

These actions would signal that my husband had developed (at the least) emotional intimacy with this OW, while taking me for a fool, and this betrayal would be the end for me.

Also, a good father would not treat his child’s mother in such a despicable manner.

@stupidorparanoid, how are you?

@msdoglady
I am doing ok thanks. Been really hectic at work so that's helped take my mind off things except that am knackered!

You must be exhausted. Were you able to discover any more information?

Nope there was nothing else that I could see. Looks like whatever was there is over... well I hope so.

Update: house being put in the market! Lots of insults traded, told me that I should leave the 'friend' out of it etc etc. Nect step divorce! DC devastated and crying..
Am heartbroken
