    If you can, look through their phone for proof, expect them to turn it back on you which is a typical response from a cheater.


    Or a typical response from a faithful person. Probably with a call to the police as a follow up...

    He is acting strange, sometimes picks a fight for no reason and then leaves, sometimes takes off his wedding ring, secretive on phone calls and who is calling


    Have you tried asking him whats wrong?...

    Lmao, my phone has a password.

    My reasons is i have a two year old that is capable of ordering episodes of bing at £1.79 a pop on amazon prime though and not for cheating on my wife.


    (i know i can put controls on prime but then id have to put them on every individual app i have, just easier denying any access to the phone at all.)

    Sorry I put that incorrectly.

    What I meant to say was that if he's secretive with his phone and doesn't allow you access to it, then he's likely cheating.

    You need to get hold of that phone and examine it with a fine toothcomb.

    This advice isnt relevant to those who suffer with hysteria.

    What horrible advice. Potentially land the OP in court...

    Just thought id mention that before the OP ends up locked up

    To be honest i thought it was a pretend question/scenario due to the lack of any information in the first post and the way it was worded so thought i'd just write a load of silly stuff.

    My phone is passworded. I'm single, who am I cheating on?




    So people know, we have laws. Two of them are the Regulationo of Investigatory Power Act, which is in places iniquitous but is also relevant here, and the Computer Misuse Act. They have things to say about intercepting communications and about accessing a computer system without permission (modern phones are computers). The things they say are "this is a criminal offence that will lead to prison". So anyone thinking of doing those things, or anyone inciting (word carefully chosen) them by suggesting it on a forum might wish to think very carefully about the consequences.

    As well as the newer coersive control in a relation laws.
  • But it’s a question you can’t un-ask. It’s potentially quite damaging. I think that’s bad advice.
