    rather than ask total strangers on a forum for advice i would suggest you speak with close friends that know both of you.

    Perhaps asking your husband would also be a good idea and see what he has to say.

    Hope you manage to work it out one way or another

    Knew people in a similar situation. She didn't look at his phone but he was constantly texting another woman who was no more than a "friend", he said. He then left this very long term relationship and it turns out that the "no more than a friend" is his new partner.

    Sounds very similar to your situation sadly.

    Read a book called Not Just Friends by Shirley Glass.

    He is displaying classic gaslighting behaviour. He's cheating on you, and you need to take control of your life.

    i get the feeling that a lot of negative posts are from people that have been hurt in the past. The same kind that say all men are cheaters etc on social media.

    Dont rush it and give him a chance to explain hes side and take it from there.

    Thats all im going to say but i hope you work it out in one way or another

    I mean after 30 years and problems in the marriage; this seems the icing on the cake.

    There’s something going on; but what?... can’t be sure

    Thank you I've checked the mobile account and they ring each other and talk for anything up to 20 to 30 minutes at a time I've already got a bolt hole to go to he's a very aggressive person and that's the problem with our marriage his aggression

    You have a bolthole to hide from his aggression and you're worried about him being unfaithful?
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.
