Clues left by the OW

Mine was a pilates mat strap left in my husband's suitcase after he'd been away on 'business' (although the clue didn't actually work at the time because back then I naively thought that my husband - my supposed best friend - actually loved me!).
I assume now that these surprise clues are left in a bid to hasten the demise of the marriage?
I wonder if he raised the issue with her at the time and whether he had a go at her for being so manipulative scatty or whether they had a good laugh at my expense.
I must ask him sometime...

i found a receipt for Pizza Hut in his pocket - yet he was unemployed and i was paying for everything in the house.....rang Pizza Hut and spoke to the waitress who served him, she gave a good description of him and the girl he was with and their smoochy behaviour at the table.....when i confronted him, he literally looked like he wished the couch he was sat on would swallow him up Grin

The wife turned up on the doorstep shrieking. As a child that was pretty traumatic. EnvySad

I found a poem he’d written to his new woman left on the side in our house. Talking about how he was looking forward to spending Valentine’s Day with her Hmm

Not me but my mum.

OW would post pics of her new furniture etc on her Facebook and how much they cost and those amounts would coincide with bank withdrawals or payments from stepdad's business account. I wouldn't have suspected anything and put it down to business costs had she not posted that. She knew we would see them as she was on our friends lists.

SF also used his work phone (for the family business) to text and phone the OW despite knowing I received an itemised phone bill to pay each month. Didn't take long to see that whenever he rang or texted my mum's number whilst working away, he immediately called or texted another. He also made calls to that number all the time but never when at home. I checked mum's phone for a certain date (midnight on NYE) and her text said something like, "Happy new year sweetheart. Love you to bits" and another text sent within the very same minute was sent to the mystery number. Back in the days of having to press numbers multiple times to get a letter, he wouldn't have had time to compose another.

And when submitting his fuel receipts for the tax man, most of them were for the petrol station on his ex wife's (OW
:) street and at times when he should have still been in his hotel in another town.

I had to nudge mum in the right direction to discover this all herself.
