    I would be angry and my reaction would be a bit stronger than the poster above:- "Your belongings are in the binliners outside - and they are not coming back inside until I hear your excuses for these messages! They had better be good as otherwise you will be out too."
  • I'd question why I was committing an offence under the computer misuse act 1990 and accessing a computer system without authorization.

    To which the response would of course be "It's my house as well, the people on MSE told me so, which means you can't prevent me from entering." ;)

    I'd probably feel like I'd been hit by a train, depending on whether this behaviour was totally out of the blue..

    I wouldnt be online posting I'd be seeking explanations. I doubt I'd be too polite about it either and I probably would already be planning a different future whilst listening to the excuses (but I would want to hear them).
  • You should've confronted their and then, I would have gone mad! He's deleted them and if inclined could say you imagined it or are making them up.

    I would never dream of looking at my partner's phone. We respect each others privacy.

    People flirt. It is often meaningless. If you distrust your partner this much then your relationship has serious problems. You should tell him what you did and seek counselling.

    Ignore this, don't be a mug to him cheating.

    It's a classic line by a cheater.

    OP - OK. Don't seek counselling. Let things fester. Don't try to save your relationship.

    Cjdavies - you seem to be calling me a cheater. Please retract.
