Apps to catch cheating?

6 replies

Seeing this advertised on social media but surely it’s a con. I’m suspicious of my husband as he’s utterly uninterested in me. So I'm curious about these apps. Anyone tried it?
I will probably just ask him however but I dont expect an honest answer - if I’m right. Thanks.

There are private investigators working in this field so no reason they wouldn’t have developed an app to sell their services.
However, not sure it is worth wasting your money. If he is not at all interested in you, it sounds like a crap situation for you and maybe the relationship is over. That could be the case whether or not there is a third party involved, unless you want to try to make it work and think this is possible

I’ve said this many times before but once you are in this headspace, all trust is gone in the relationship and it is DOA so there’s no point wasting time and money trying to ‘catch’ him. In this day and age, no fault divorces are available so you don’t need to prove anything to formally end the marriage. The only people who will try and convince you to pay to ‘catch’ a cheater are those who stand to make money from it, or the terminally nosey/dramatic who think they live in EastEnders.

I saw it advertised on social media and tried it a few weeks ago.

it really doesn’t do much. It searches the internet for their phone number and also their photos to see if they are on dating sites.

that’s all I can remember, really.

it’s very unlikely to catch anyone or prove anything.

If he isn’t interested anymore why does it matter? I’d personally be walking away as life is too short to waste the best years of your life with someone who doesn’t treat you right. With no fault divorces you don’t need to catch someone out. They will fleece you and you’ll end up in the same boat anyway.

Thanks all. I have thought about it and I don’t think he’s cheating I think he’s just self-involved and a shit husband. I have been looking into his behaviour and i am now certain he’s narcissistic. I am mid 40s with fairly young kids. I of course made many sacrifices for him and now I am
quite dependent on him as a result. I need to get controls back starting with the finances. I’ll need to seek advice on this.
