agree with
"Hiding away" from family; sleeping in the day, hours spent on PC"
and also taking issue with things you said when out

You find him with his dick in someone else's mouth.

brimfull · 18/01/2010 15:57

mobile has a lot to answer for doesn't it

i am sure a neighbour is having an affair
he gets on his mobile as soon as he is round the corner from his house and can't be seen, alwasy on his mobile driving back-and he's a bloody ambulance driver!

brimfull · 18/01/2010 15:58

wonder if the divorce rate has gone up with the use of mobiles
so many more people get caught

hf128219 · 18/01/2010 15:58

That one really is a dead giveaway! But he might say 'How the heck did that get in there?'

WhenwillIfeelnormal · 18/01/2010 16:00

Or, "but it's ok, I wouldn't have come in her mouth"....

ShowOfHands · 18/01/2010 16:05

My bf's xdp had an affair (found photos on a spare memory card) and his platitude?

It's okay, I didn't kiss her on the mouth.

Ronaldinhio · 18/01/2010 16:11

deleting all call lists

catching crabs and blaming it on the rugby club

MILismad · 18/01/2010 16:23

my ex was having an affair and i was suspicious, one morning in bed i reached around for a cuddle and his tshirt was wet and sticky he jumped out of bed and went the loo. I questioned him but he said it was not so i think he must have had a wet dream but im sure some men have them anyway but we lived together for 3 yrs and i had never noticed before. gross!

MILismad · 18/01/2010 16:25

showering more and hiding phone defo

Malificence · 18/01/2010 16:36

MILismad - men have night time "emissions" when they aren't getting any sex!
I would say that is definitely not a sign of an affair.
He may just have been wanking however.

DecorHate · 18/01/2010 16:48

Not sure about deleting browser history on computer - could be a simple explanation, eg hiding how much time you spend on MN

AnyFucker · 18/01/2010 19:15

I am guilty on that score decorhate

I also delete the history because some links on here would make my DH's hair curl

the sex toy up the bum thread was a case in point...

chippychippybangbang · 18/01/2010 19:22

Instincts - trust them. I knew about OW and the danger she presented before it even started but was powerless to stop it..

Sudden need to leave house to get something he really craves but you don't have in the fridge, a particular brand of chocolate or something. Takes forever to get back, if you call his mobile it's busy.

My H took to going for evening walks with his mobile and we don't even have a bloody dog..

kittya · 18/01/2010 21:48

Changing phones, frequently (this means too many OW then he can handle). Sudden family members appearing then he had in the 13 years youve known him ("Im just off to meet my mums cousin) oh, theres loads!!

ADifferentMe · 18/01/2010 22:29

From my autobiography -

frequent desperate urges to buy Mars Bars late at night

disappearing "to the dump" to take bin bags that the dustment had allegedly forgotten to take (3 or 4 times in a weekend)

yesterday's explanation for a missing 4 hours - "I was filling the log basket!". DD asked if he'd had to chop a tree down to do it.

elastamum · 18/01/2010 23:03

Buying an extra airline ticket when going on a business trip! Honestly!
Being really critical and unkind
Coming home knackered and just falling asleep in fornt of you - up all night w
Insane amount of texts to the same number
Number in phone as male friend answered by OW

It would be funny if it wasnt all based on experience

chippychippybangbang · 18/01/2010 23:04

Oh God yes, the trips to the tip to take 2 bits of cardboard which could easily have gone in our recycling...!

Endless texting and instant messaging, looking at phone and smirking. Utter refusal to let me anywhere near phone or pc which were password protected to the hilt..

GettingThingsSorted · 18/01/2010 23:12

Forgets to turn up to Relate
When does go to Relate refuses to speak
Tells Relate counsellor that the woman concerned that he speaks to sometimes is irrelevant and that that has nothing to do with our relationship ()
Protects PC screen at all times and is angry if you try to look
Constantly complains that the issue is that you are not a trusting person and that that is damaging the relationship
Finds new job that involves nights away although offices visited are actually quite nearby

kittya · 19/01/2010 00:29

Telling you he is going camping when he will only ever stay in four star hotels. Causing arguements over nothing. Having a stash of sim cards.

upahill · 19/01/2010 12:50

Kittya That was a strange one!!

BelleDameSansMerci · 19/01/2010 13:02

Bloody hell - they really are crap at this aren't they? Not saying they should be good at it but you've got to wonder if women are better at keeping secrets?

Not that I'm one to talk - I've had all the above at one point or another. Well, except the camping one!
