Background: H has previous for cheating (once, a good few years ago, behaviour was dodgy at the time - glued to phone, "working late", frequently on "work dos" and staying overnight at "friends' house"). He's changed since then, relationship is much closer, he doesn't act dodgy anymore, open with his phone, no staying out etc, no behaviour concerns at all.
However I was pissing about on his phone yesterday as we were on a long car journey, I was bored, and my own phone was broken. I found an app called "wire" which is an encrypted messaging app. He had one contact on there "candyfloss85", blocked. So looks like a female, in her mid 30s, right, if 85 is the birth year? This is about the age of the woman he was previously shagging (but equally, probably about the age of quite a few of our friends). He says the contact just appeared in the app (maybe because a contact in his phone has wire and it's autoconnected?), and he blocked it because he didn't know who it was (you can't delete a contact in the app). He unblocked and messaged "who is this?". No response.
My gut says nothing's wrong, everything's fine now, he learnt his lesson, wouldn't do this again, he seems honest. But my brain says don't be a fucking mug, you didn't think he'd do it the first time, either he proves this isn't what it looks like or he can fuck off. We have 4 young kids.
AIBU or is this fucking dodgy? WWYD?
