My husband left if phone open earlier and there was an advert for an app. It discribed it'self as not a dating app but an app to fuck local women. I'm a technophobe has this just randomly popped up?

They come up from porn sites often. More likely he’s been on pornhub and hasn’t closed all the windows after, rather than cheating (if that’s the subtext to your question).

My first thought was "what have you been looking at" but he is very tech savvy so when I said oooh what's this?! He started talking about cookies not being turned on or somthing does that sound right? As I say I'm usless with all things technology

Cookies are data from website that remember you. One of the effects of turning them off means that sometimes the advertising is random, rather than targeted at your browsing history (so showing you adverts for saucepans in John Lewis cos you’ve been looking at saucepans on the JL website and the cookie got saved). So it’s possible. More important rly though, does it bother you if he’s looking at porn?

Yeah I think I would bother me firstly I don't know when he would have time I'm home with him most evenings. Also if he is happy me he wouldn't need to find sexual gratification elsewhere. I don't know it's hardly crime of the century I know that

First - these things pop up from random places.
Had weirdest stuff pop up on my kids kindle Fire...

Second - you are either very young or naive. Even if he is happy with you - he can still find ‘gratification’ in fantasies and even porn sites. It’s not related to happiness.

Thanks I just wanted to know of these things did pop up or if he had been searching for casual sex apps. I'm not naive or young. I'm just incrediblely insecure and I have my own issues regarding body issues and never being good enough.
