My fiancé has been very secretive with his phone for the last month. It now has a passcode which it hasn’t in 5 years. He left it open the other day and I found text messages from other women with sexually graphic content. Some from a woman in Florida. Didn’t get a chance to look through more as he caught me and lost his temper. He said he was just trying to see if they were a scam. Haven’t really spoke to him since. What does everyone else think ??

What do you think? I think it's pretty clear he's no good on a lot of levels.

Runrunrudolph · 12/12/2025 13:55

He has shown you who he is OP.

If you marry him you know how this will pan out.

The secrecy with his phone, the messages to other women, the lies when he was caught out are bad enough. But losing his temper with you he was caught outt. is very worrying.

Oh come on now.

He's cheating. Throw this one back.

He's the scammer here. Don't fall for it Op.

I think you should dump him. Why would you stay?

Lurkingandlearning · 12/12/2025 16:29

Why does he need to investigate possible scams?

A pathetic excuse that insults your intelligence.

End it.

Exactly this, unless, of course, you want to spend the rest of your life with a grubby little bastard.

He was just trying to see if they were a scam? Why would he care? If he received a message of that sort from someone he doesn’t know (or even does know) then as an engaged man he should ignore it.
He’s obviously lying!!

Wishimaywishimight · 12/12/2025 17:39

If it looks like a duck...

TwistedWonder · 12/12/2025 17:43

Surely you mean you ex fiance? You wouldn’t go through with marrying a lying cheating piece of shit would you?

Ritarodger · 12/12/2025 19:37

Thank you for all your replies - I appreciate it. I’ve asked him to leave. He lives with me in my flat and says he has nowhere to go until a few weeks !!

Oh and he said he did it because he was bored and wouldn’t lock his phone again so I can read it

Where he lives is his problem, not yours.

He shouldn't be cheating if he wanted to stay in a relationship.

Well if you marry and have children he might be bored occasionally... I can think about other things to do when I'm bored than oogling over naked men🙄

I'd be telling him you don't give a shit and he needs to be out by Sunday.

Cheap hotel or Airbnb- not your problem

adcde123 · 12/12/2025 20:35

And change the locks asap

ChristmasinBrighton · 12/12/2025 20:38

Not your problem. Off he fucks. Tell him you will call police if he refuses to leave.
