me - BW him - WH D-Day 1 - Jan 09 (3 month PA)D-Day 2 - May 15 (3-4 month PA)TT & lies Divorced.
Me : BS
Him: WS - emotional affair on and off for our entire 10 year relationship
Can’t believe I’m back here…thoughts??
I was here many years ago when my then husband cheated. We reconciled but he did it again. We eventually divorced.
Fast forward 10 years. The man I’ve been with since WS (46)
My gut initially started tingling. He was on his phone a lot. Told myself he’d never do that. Then yesterday when I walked in he was on messenger and immediately swiped it away…but I’d seen and so asked him about it.
He hesitated, but ultimately knew I’d seen the same, so admitted it was the woman he’d lost his virginity to….so I asked why on earth was he messaging her. He said casually that they just message each other on their bdays and randomly - just superficial! Hmmm it’s been 30 years so if you’re STILL messaging then it’s not superficial.
He makes out im overreacting- there’s nothing in it, she lives in England (we’re in Scotland but she lives in the area where he’s from and has family)
I ask if they’ve ever met or had plans to meet? No, he says, never!
My gut is screaming so today when he went to work I opened his laptop and went into messsnger.
Oh the messages were all about their connection, how they maybe couldn’t have the ideal connection but something was better than nothing….that he would always be there for her, she goes on about how she thinks of him daily, there’s one where he pleads with her not to block him, to keep chatting. Then remvy he was asking to meet up - he was down there seeing family. She couldn’t make it (it was a last minute trip) so he then tells her he’s planning on making it a monthly thing and they can meet up then!!
There were alot of deleted messages and there has been lots of calls. I obviously don’t know the content.
When confronted he went ballistic. Screaming and shouting, called me crazy, paranoid, tgat I was the one betraying him by going through his messages. Then after a while he was begging and pleading with me.
Then he said he just went along with her to appease her as she had poor mental
Health and often spoke about ending her life. He said he never told me because he didn’t want me worrying and not trusting him!!
He then circled back to anger and said that he’d done nothing wrong and that the messages were not inappropriate because they weren’t sexual!
Now, I’ve been cheated on by my ex husband so I’m highly sensitive to this. But to me this is an emotional affair…potentially involving photos/phone sex as I can’t see the deleted content. Or am I over reacting?!

Accuracy of Dr Fone trial?
So I have the free trial of dr fone...and I've pulled a fair bit of messages etc from wh phone.
The thing is that I am questioning the accuracy...eg it has pulled some old notes from his iphone but gives a different date everytime I scan...and some messages are a bit like that too with wrong dates on them.
The reason I ask is that I ran it today and it shows a deleted missed call from OW last night...I am wondering if it could be an old one that its just showing the wrong date for...also it's confusing me becomes it's showing her name like it's old (he no longer has her in contacts and the recent calls from her therefore don't have a name beside the number due to this)
Any info appreciated...thanks.
