[QUOTE="nvts, post: 179514, member: 3814"] Ok, here we go. About 2 years ago, husband and I were on the outs. He was going through a depression because he lost his job and nothing was coming through. He was on the computer "looking for a job" but it turned out that he was back in contact with some old friends from when he was a kid. One of them was the sister of an old girlfriend (10 years his junior). At that time, he claimed he was no longer "in-love" and needed to think. I gave him a couple of months of working this through, but was watching things like a hawk. She was signaling him via cell phone that she was online and they'd start IM'ing back and forth (he thought I didn't know what was going on). It came to a head when I told him that I wasn't borrowing money from my dad anymore to make the bills. He blew up, yelled about "I'm done". I took the kids across to my dads, told him to pack his sh!t and head for his mothers. When her realized that I was serious, and that he couldn't just joke his way out of it, he slammed his fist on the counter. I looked him square in the eye and said "tell me when to flinch". I guess that's when he knew that there was no way out of this. I made things very very very clear as to the changes I expected and that included no contact, limited computer and if I caught him again he was gone. I know I haven't ever gotten over the whole thing (I'm still not convinced that he didn't meet up with her - the stupid broad was trying to get him to go to concerts with her!), but he's made monumental changes. A few weeks ago, he started logging into the computer again. He has a work cell, so I was going to get rid of his old one, but something told me not to. I noticed last night on the cell bill that there were 3 calls to voice mail within minutes of each other. Then I noticed that the cell was missing. I found it in his briefcase with a new password. I haven't snooped the email yet. But about 2 weeks ago I saw an email from him to another friend (happily married, kids - one with problems like difficult child 1 - not a threat) touching base again after well over a year. Here's the thing - he's been nice, loving, "I love you's" all the nice nice stuff, but somethings just nagging at me. Do I say something about the phone? Do I tell him that I'm getting nervous? Do I bide my time and see what happens? Do I check the email? If I do, can he tell that I accessed it? Is all the "nicey" crap a cover? Am I just pregnant and paranoid? I need some really truthful, objective opinions here. Thanks guys! me [/QUOTE]
