Covert filming

25 replies

SharonBubble · 25/05/2020 13:48

Some weeks ago I found my husband had installed covert cameras in our bedroom. He admits he was trying to catch me cheating ( I’m not) or masturbating which he also considers cheating. I denied I had masturbated, to avoid the hassle that I knew would follow. Last week he said our marriage was over because I lied and he can’t trust me anymore, he denied he was still filming me. Today I found the clock on his bedside table has a covert camera and microphone in it. I’m numb, what do I do. I feel like I have no privacy at all.

Take him up on the offer to end the marriage. Why would you stay with someone doing this?

Annonymiss123 · 25/05/2020 13:54

I don’t even have to think about this one - leave him.

OP, report him to the police as he's an abusive POS. Not liking you to masturbate is absurd. Who does he think he is?

Get a bin bag and bin all his covert devices and tell him to move out. If he threatens you dial 999 and have him removed.

Get legal advice first thing tomorrow and start divorce proceedings. He's a piece of crap OP, don't live your life like this.

HeyDuggeesCakeBadge · 25/05/2020 13:57

Report him to the police and absolutely take him. Up on the offer for divorce. Fucking hell. Masturbating is cheating? He's insane for this alone.

MariposaPink · 25/05/2020 14:00

I would straight masturbate in front of that clock and then stick my middle finger up at it once I'm done.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 25/05/2020 14:00

You indeed have no privacy at all. However, why have you remained in this household?.

Please report your so called husband to the police, this type of act is a crime. I would also start divorce proceedings if you have not already done this. What you are describing here is intolerable.

He is a controlling husband.

There is no future in this relationship.

I would leave the marriage and absolutely report this to police. Dangerous behaviour and god only knows what he has saved and what he would do with them. Not something to ignore married or not! Hope you’re okay Flowers

Fosler · 25/05/2020 14:52

Report to the police. Don't let him know, just let them arrive and arrest him.

You need to ensure that every device is found.

thefourgp · 25/05/2020 14:56

He sounds dangerous. You sound controlled. Contact women’s aid.

Raidblunner · 25/05/2020 16:00

Nah you need to get away from him what a Twat! Telling you your not allowed to masterbate? He sounds like a complete control freak. What you need to do is what my girlfriend did to her cheating ex husband. Take his toothbrush and rub it round the under rim of the toilet and put it back in the glass. He'll have a mouthful of sores within days. Horrible bastard..

funnylittlefloozie · 25/05/2020 16:08

Raidblunner, normally i would applaud your excellent idea. However, given that the house is rigged with hidden cameras, there may well be one in the bathroom, and it will end up with the OP in serious trouble!

OP you really need to go to the police and report this. Your marriage is over, i'm afraid. I hope you are coping ok, but please tell someone in real life that you trust.

Do you have kids?

Dollyrocket · 25/05/2020 16:12

This is illegal and deeply wrong. You should listen to the advice to leave this horrendous cretin of a man.

pog100 · 25/05/2020 16:30

You really shouldn't even need to ask. Leave him, report him.

NoMoreDickheads · 25/05/2020 17:43

Ugh! End it with this obsessive weirdo.

Tappering · 25/05/2020 17:47

Police - now. Covert filming without your knowledge is illegal. He sounds unhinged and dangerous. Call the police. It also gets his behaviour on record which will help with a restraining order.

begoniapot · 25/05/2020 17:57

You have to leave. Contact Women's Aid. This is not in any way normal behaviour. It's horrendous

Gobbycop · 25/05/2020 17:59

He considers masturbating cheating.

He's completely deranged, that's one of the most mental things I've ever heard. Wow.

iklboo · 25/05/2020 18:01

Masturbating is cheating? Like he never does it. Please leave OP. Have you got children?

downwith · 25/05/2020 21:04

Whaaaat????

LTB

Shoxfordian · 25/05/2020 21:17

Call the police and get yourself somewhere safe away from him

nevernotstruggling · 25/05/2020 21:17

Masturbating is cheating? I've missed that memo!

RandomMess · 25/05/2020 21:18

Please report to the police SadAngry

heartyrebel · 25/05/2020 21:39

I'd be worried he was uploading footage to porn sites too.
Definitely leave, destroy the cameras
