Hey, so I have been away from my husband (married for 11 years) due to moving country etc. so I hadn’t seen him for 5 months. We are together now but I felt things weren’t the same, anyway we spoke about things and he said he doesn’t mean to make me feel crap he is feeeling stressed about work etc.
since the chat things have been better with us.
anyway I found a locked chat on his what’s app, and it’s a woman. He blocked her on the day I was flying out to see him but the chat is clear so nothing to read. A couple of days ago he has also unblocked this woman now.
I have a 4 yr old who absolutely loves him.

is this cheating guys?
and how do i approach this?

I would wait and see what happens now the woman is unblocked. If you let on you suspect then he will try to hide it even more. I’m afraid it really doesn’t sound good though.
He’s obviously trying to hide something so he has guilt that it isn’t appropriate. I am sorry you are in this situation.

Something is most definitely off. Do you know this woman?

What do you mean. Is this cheating? Do you suspect he is having an affair with her? Or about to have an affair.

Can you check his deleted chat? Or restore from backup if it’s WhatsApp ?

Idontknow110 · 06/04/2025 09:55

I don’t know this woman. And there is no chat backup.
they were conversations before as he blocked her on 5th march and now recently has decided to unblock her and also lock the chat so no one has access to it.

I suspect he is having an affair or was while I was away otherwise why would he lock the chat.. he had something to hide.

He def sounds like he’s acting shady. How does he know her? Has he ever mentioned her before? If she’s a complete stranger to you you could just ask him outright, “Who is xxx and why do you have a locked chat with her?”

If you ask him outright about the locked chat, I suspect he will deflect and lie. Obviously up to you.
