    That's true, video's are hard to watch on phones. But with a few steps you can make it a lot easier for him and his ex to watch it by putting it on his facebook page.


    Not read all the responses so not sure if this has been said, but revenge !!!!!! really isn't a good idea...as tempting as it might be.

    As for difficult to watch on mobile handsets? Depends on the device, some are great for watching movies from start to finish.

    I would check that the download date doesn't coincide with the date he got a new phone and it hasn't always been on his phone and transferred from phone to phone over the years-

    Why do you think you should stay with him if he's cheating on you ?

    I do believe that if someone has no history of jealousy suddenly become suspicious of a partner they are probably picking up on non verbal signels from them. I know was- I trusted my husband completely yet I knew he was cheating practically from the day he did it - when I later confronted him-I gave him dates and his jaw dropped. I don't know how I knew- but I knew. I didn't check his phone .......but I do understand why someone would when suddenly feeling so certain when before there were no doubts at all.

    I've done that too, ie told an ex of mine the very next time I saw him that he had been unfaithful to me. I just took one look at him and told him straight out that he had and I also couldnt tell you why I did that, as I have a tendency to trust boyfriends and not go investigating whether they are or arent being unfaithful to me.

    Mind you...its not infallible...as I certainly subsequently found out that another ex of mine had been unfaithful to me and I hadnt had a clue....:cool:

    The OP stated in another totally unrelated thread posted over 2 years ago that she split up with her husband of 16 years more than 5 years ago. That's hardly 'writing him out of the script for the purposes of this thread'.

    I don't see what he has got to do with the OP's issue (although she may be more suspicious that one might normally expect as she had been cheated on before).

    Why do you say the current boyfriend may be 'an uncle'?

    And why do you think 'There'll be another one at some point, I dare say'?

    I was responding to DUTR who asked about where the children's father was.

    Uncle is of course the term used by children to address their new daddy who isn't really their daddy. In other words mum's boyfriend. Not uncle as in mum's brother, obviously!

    The OP's children are 17,15 & 14 so I don't think they would be in any doubt about the relationship the OP had with her new partner.

    Hardly 'their new daddy'.
    And I doubt they'd call him 'uncle' either.

    The OP has been with this guy for over 5 years.
    Your previous post made it sound like she moves a new bloke in before the sheets are even cool from the last one.
    Very unfair on the OP, imho.

    Really? I have genuinely never heard that.

    Some of my close friends' kids call me and OH auntie and uncle but I've never heard of 'uncle' being used like this.

    Sounds incestuous. Don't like it.

    I've never heard of that either. I think the few friends who had divorced parents called new people by their name.

    I think it originates in the 1930s (or earlier). It was used in Dad's Army (Uncle Arthur) and the audience knew what it meant.
