    Been cheated on by my ex husband but it wasn't a surprise because I thought he had been doing it and caught him out after installing a keylogger on my own laptop which he was then dumb enough to use to log into his email and type emails to her with .

    Despite that i don't tar my OH with the same brush and trust him 100%. I wouldn't be with him if I didn't.

    If I found out that he had hired a private investigator to follow me, I would be absolutely furious. Not because I have anything to hide, but because it would mean that he didn't have enough faith in me to trust me the same.
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

    I very much enjoy the game of "who has re-incarnated themselves this week" :D

    I like to see if the username is a clue to their past troll identity.

    I admit I'm stumped with this OP.........

    Anybody else think the OP has just tossed this in and is sat back smirking?

    Hire a Private Investigator to see what your other half was up to?

    Personally anyone that says they completley trust their partner 100% must be lying i believe there is always a niggling doubt, i can't stand when people say 'Oh my partner would never have a second phone' when most likely they do and just hide their sim card in their glove compartment. or 'I know where he is at all times and even 'Oh he would never use social networking sites'

    Yet those people who are just being catagoric are the ones more than likely to have an Unfaithful Partner.

    What is your opinion?

    I trust my husband completely and I am certainly not a liar! Furthermore, I would never waste money on a PI if I had suspicions. I'd be more inclined to talk to him about my concerns.

    I can only assume you've had your fingers burnt in a past (current?) relationship and would suggest you consider counselling for your issues - and make no mistake - they are YOUR issues.

    Can you actually provide a citation/evidence for this? I can't stand people who throw facts around, but never provide a link to the relevant study or research.

    I wouldn't hire a PI either as the relationship would be over in that instance in my opinion. It does make you wonder what 'evidence' could be made to blacken someone's name though. For instance, I stood outside my workplace for 15 minutes last week chatting to a male customer about the fact we are closing for refurbishment. I also sometimes wander over to the sandwich shop with a male colleague. You could just imagine a PI taking photos and it being misinterpreted by an insecure partner.

    I trust my husband 100% and I don't take kindly to being called a liar just because I do. ;)

    To be honest, if I felt the need to hire a Private Investigator then the relationship would already be over!

    I remember reading somewhere (a couple of years ago) that if a woman is thinking of hiring a private investigtor to check up on her partner, there is usually something he is up too. The article said that a woman usually knew somethng was up or not quite right, intuition, hunch or some sort of evidence, and hiring some one nearly always proved her suscpicions right!

    Wish I had listened to that advice myself! :)

    I know that my OH trusts me 100%.

    Mainly because I'm so disorganised that I was to ever have an affair she'd have to arrange it and remind me when and where to meet the other woman :-)

    Or maybe she is just paranoid.

    I can't make out if the OP is really thinking of hiring a PI because she thinks her partner is up to something or if she is 'just asking a question'.

    If it's the latter, this thread is more suited to the Arms or Discussion Time.
