So a few years ago I caught my (now) husband messaging other women, we were going through a bit of a bad patch so I forgave him but I've always had it in the back of my mind and he's always been very private/protective of his phone since but I put this down to me having gone through his phone previously...
so fast forward to this morning, he's got a spare laptop from work that he just uses in the evenings and I asked if I could have the password so I could use it from time to time, he gave me the password but then said oh I need to just close my game and actually I'll just set you up your own log in, I've gone onto the laptop now and gone to log in as him rather than my new log in he set up and he's also changed his password... I feel physically sick as I know he's hiding something but what do I do? Ask him? Or do I need to see if I can find anything else first? Sad

How do I download key logging software and would it work if I can't actually do it on his account just the computer?

Oh no, what did he say when you confronted him? What did the messages say? I think if I found something undeniable I would definitely confront him straight away as I wouldn't be able to hide my feelings, that's what I did last time and he just broke down apologising and admitted it all and that he was sorry. I feel like with this he'll just try and explain it away and I'll just feel like the paranoid one? Thing is I wasn't even snooping or looking for something so feels even shitter somehow.

Sorry I don't know how to reply directly to individuals?

Peach, if you're at the point of installing keylogging software, you don't have a relationship worth being in.

Treacletoots · 28/04/2020 16:10

I'm not 100% sure.. I know about this as a friend of mine installed it on his ex wife's computer (yes I know..) I'm sure there will be others more technical or you could try googling.

However, to reiterate, do you need proof when you already don't trust him?

Rcats1 · 28/04/2020 16:13

Oh no, what did he say when you confronted him? What did the messages say?

I've got a thread open about it lol, its a work colleague who text saying she misses him and he said he missed her back. He's cheated before but over 2 years ago with a different woman so Im just paranoid it's happening again. He said it was perfectly innocent and that he was sorry if it comes across as disrespectful but it was just banta... I'm not buying it.

OP

It’s doesn’t matter if the business is his or someone else’s in relation to legal responsibilities to protect information. Especially data about other people. For god sake don’t put spyware on it. You could cause all sorts of problems for him and then for yourself.

Do you really want to be this person? No man or relationship is worth this. It’s not what happiness and life is about. What are you trying to achieve. The truth which you already know?

peach1234 · 28/04/2020 16:27

@Treacletoots I did trust him until this happened.. that's the thing if I had a bad feeling and went looking I'd agree more on the trust issue. I 100% don't agree with snooping, I've done it before and I think as soon as you're looking for something then the trust is gone.
@Rcats1 oh no... that is dodgy, have there been any other messages? At least you have his passcode and he's not changed it or anything?

@LemonTT I didn't suggest spyware another poster did. what do you suggest? Any time you become at all suspicious of your husband in any way you end it and get a divorce?

OP posts:
LemonTT · 28/04/2020 16:45

I wouldn’t become suspicious of him because he didn’t give me unfettered access to his work computer or his phone which is used for work.

Been in the position of not believing an ex. Decided to believe in myself not what he said. Don’t ever want to be ferreting about in phones and messages.

peach1234 · 28/04/2020 17:53

Spoke to him... he said it was just because he's got work on his log in that he keeps open as they're linked to his other computer? I said fair enough but not sure why he would change the password but he seemed genuine... he actually asked me what was wrong so I just said

So how do you feel about that?

LiteraryType · 28/04/2020 18:54

Hmmm, he said it was to shut down a game before. Just look. That'll sort it.

Hope everything is ok op. X
