Cheating

7 replies

GreyMaker · 13/04/2025 09:56

How do I know if my other half is cheating? His behaviour is slightly different, more conflicted towards to me. Explained to me loads of time he isn’t feeling wanted from me which I was shocked, confused, and I know I am a loving person.

I could not get into his phone, always have with him. Also could not use his personal work computer which he would have seen what I’ve typed in the search boxes ‘recent history’ if I go on.
One point I saw a notification from a Tinder App and he did admit he’s been on a couple of times to have a look to see if anyone is interested in him. But said he has removed the app now then saw the notification!
Any advice on how to catch him out without his knowledge?

You’ve already caught him lying to you and going on Tinder. That’s cheating. What more do you need? Leave him.

Why do you want to keep dating? He's seeking out people to date, just forget him.

You've already caught him. Once at least trying to cheat.

But said he has removed the app now then saw the notification!*

And then lying about having stopped the cheating behaviour.

When you say he's your OH, how committed is the relationship? Obviously not as easy to split if you're married or living together.

Don't get bogged down in having to prove he's done something more, he's already broken your trust.

He has already told you OP he is looking to see if anyone would be interested in him. So he has admitted he has actively looked for someone and tbh you know how far down the line his " looking" has already gone.
So really you have the answer. But it now depends what you intend to do about this knowledge

Leave this bloke.

he’s clearly showed you his intentions.

He knows someone is interested in him - you are.

What he means he is online dating to find someone he prefers to you.

Gosh OP, I used to be like you. I needed overwhelming proof, and I would tie myself in knots trying to work out a definition of cheating.
Let me save you some time.
It doesn't matter if he put bits of himself into someone else. It really doesn't.
What matters is if he is loyal and respectful to you and the relationship. That's it.

He's said, quite clearly that he was on tinder to see if anyone is interested. This isn't loyal and it isn't respectful.

You will never get the outcome you want with someone who doesn't respect you.
