So last night my OH went out with male friends. He never answered his phone all night nor replied to any texts. He only returned home at 5.30am and I discover that the ex he was 'sexting' 2 years ago has been in contact with him...
Advice please?!!

Put your foot down - he stops contacting the ex and changes his mobile number or it's over. It's unacceptable behaviour and you shouldn't have to put up with it. x x0

Do you trust him
Did the sexting before go further or did you discover it.
Personally I think it is completely out of order and i would be telling him this.
Don't be a pushover he cannot have his cake and eat it... although remember at this stage you don't even know if he saw her last night
You need to have a serious chat0 -
How did you find out about the ex?
You need to have a serious talk with him about his priorities.
Changing his mobile number means nothing. He can easily give the new number to her.Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.0 -

It shows he is willing to make the effort of no contact with the ex that he was previously sex texting. If he isn't even willing to do that - the relationship may not be worth fighting for.0 -
advice depends on how your relationship is otherwise, and what he was doing until 5:30.Debt free 4th April 2007.

So he is out with his mates and his partner keeps texting and ringing him, he his going to get plenty of stick etc about being under the thumb etc if he answers it, so he won'tleos-mummy wrote: »He only returned home at 5.30am and I discover that the ex he was 'sexting' 2 years ago has been in contact with him...

The important bit is 'what was his response to the contact?'
Bottom line is though, if you don't trust him, dump him and find a partner you can trust.
If you cannot trust a partner there is almost no chance of a long term future.0 -
In what form was the contact with the ex?
Staying out till 5.30 is only a problem if he was doing something he shouldnt.Shut up woman get on my horse!!!0 -

Why were you texting and phoning him all night?!?!leos-mummy wrote: »I discover that the ex he was 'sexting' 2 years ago has been in contact with him...

Ok, so she has been in contact with him... did he contact her back? How do you know she's been in contact?
Sounds like you have trust issues with this guy. Relationships are pointless without trust.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
I agree with Pinkshoes. Why bother him when he's on a night out with his friends, I wouldn't call OH if I knew he was having a blowout with his mates and would likewise be a bit peeved if he felt the need to call AND text me. It all seems a bit clingy.
It's the same with the "sexting", did he contact her and how do you know that she had got back in touch?0 -
From the male perspective, there is no bigger annoyance than being "stalked" on a night out with the guys, he's out - if you don't trust him enough to not be cheating on you then the relationship is hardly working, i never could understand the theory behind people who do that to OH's on a night out!Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.0
