Do you think he's cheating?

Long story short. A little background first. Together 10 years, 3 kids. Caught him trying to talk to other girls before in the past, 100% nothing physical ever came from it. I decided to address & move on from it as he had a lot going on at the time and I wanted it to work.

Recently (past 5/6 months) he's been acting really strange towards me and is very angry all the time. We barely sleep together. Has his phone screen changed where notifications come up but the names won't, changed his social media where I can't see who he's friends with, I can only see our mutral friends. He was never a Facebook user but has been online on messenger flat out, at weird times in the night & even through work hours. I text him yesterday and he took 5 hours to reply to me but was sitting online on messenger for about an hour on two occasions before he replied to me? But when I approached him about this he said he wasn't online. Also on the rare occasion that he leaves his phone sitting down he puts it on airplane mode. I said to him lastnight that I had a hunch he was involved with someone else and he flipped out and screamed at me and said "fuck you" and stormed outside, gave me the middle finger and sat in his car. I went onto bed & woke up this morning and it hasn't even been mentioned.

What are your thoughts?

He's obviously doing something unpleasant or wants to upset you. What are you going to do about it? You don't trust him at all and he's abusive.

Crikeyalmighty · 04/03/2023 18:32

I think regardless of if he is it isn't- he's one secretive and rude twat -

  1. Of course he's cheating.
  1. Even if he weren't, his behaviour is completely inexcusable and he needs his arse kicked out the door.
Pinkbonbon · 04/03/2023 18:39

Well, yes. Evidently.

But why does it matter?
He's a horrible man who treats you like shit on his shoe. Cheating would just be...sprinkles on the icing on the very large, multi-tierd cake.

Divorce time.
Like, yesterday.

You deserve better

Icepinkeskimo · 04/03/2023 18:44

There’s a lot going on isn’t there? No wonder your spider senses are tingling. Definitely not normal behaviour. If he’s not going to engage in conversation then seriously I would be packing his bags. You deserve better, deep down you know this as painful as it is.

WidthofaLine · 04/03/2023 19:21

Are you married ?

Hopelessromatic · 04/03/2023 19:33

I'm speaking from experience I think your husband is cheating as being so defensive is most definitely a sign . My husband use to react the same way ,get angry when I asked any questions and told me I was crazy. I ended up catching him in a long term affair. The way he is acting with his phone also speaks volumes. Please don't let him disrespect you . You deserve better than him xx

supersop60 · 04/03/2023 19:48

Changes in behaviour (including phone use) are a dead giveaway.
Has he bought new clothes recently or had a haircut, or started a new hobby/
Either way, he's hiding something, he's very rude and defensive.
It's not your fault, and you deserve better.

This ^^

Sorry OP. See a solicitor and get your ducks in a row before talking to him. (Get mentally prepared for the fact that he probably won’t “come clean” to you, whatever happens)

Crazypaving22 · 04/03/2023 20:06

Yep he’s most likely cheating but he’s also an absolute a’hole. How dare he shout and swear at you to gaslight you.

Ducks in a row and get rid if this loser.

Buildingthefuture · 04/03/2023 20:37

None of us can know for sure if he is actually cheating from what you’ve said (I would strongly suspect it, but I don’t KNOW). I do know however that he is a rude, unpleasant twat who is not treating you with any respect. And that you deserve better. And, in your heart of hearts, you know that too.

DemelzaandRoss · 04/03/2023 20:38

He sounds horrid. Sorry you’re going through this.
Be assured this is nasty behaviour. You only have one life. Do not spend it with this excuse for a man. Get vital documents together & prepare for a better life.

winterchills · 04/03/2023 20:57

He definitely is, sorry to say

BlastedPimples · 04/03/2023 22:21

Yea. He definitely is seeing someone else.

The aggression and hostility when challenged is very telling.

Has he always behaved in a disgusting way towards you like this?

You don't need much more of a reason to divorce him.

I wouldn't wait for any more evidence.

usernamenotavailable99 · 17/08/2023 22:10

Regardless of anything else, do you think his reactions are acceptable? How old is this prick??? He's definitely doing something he shouldn't be. Kick him out or go yourself.
