He Snooped Through His Wife’s Phone And Caught Her Lying About Meeting Up With A Former Male Coworker Three Days After Their Wedding, But He Doesn’t Know If He Should Confront Her
Over the past couple of months, this man started to think that his wife was acting a bit suspicious.
It all began with her often texting a former male coworker, supposedly about “drama” at her previous office. He found it weird that she’d stayed in such close contact with the guy, especially because the pair continued to talk practically every day.
“Her coworker used to give her a ride to work from the train station a few times each week as he lived nearby,” he recalled.
So, a few weeks ago, his curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to snoop through his wife’s phone. He also found one specific message in which the guy asked when she finished up work on Tuesdays.
Afterward, his wife and her former coworker planned to meet up. The worst part was that their meeting was set for just three days after their wedding!
This, of course, made him even more worried, which is why he decided to use a Google Maps feature to track where his wife went.
Then, he played it cool, and a day before his wife and her former coworker were supposed to meet, she claimed that she was going to have “a late meeting at work.” Additionally, she asked if he’d be able to take her daughter to an activity after school.
He went along with it, and the day after his wife’s so-called “late meeting,” he checked her phone again while she was in the shower. Spoiler alert: she did not stay late at work that night.
Instead, his wife took a train to a town near where she used to work and spent a few hours there. That same town also happens to be where her former coworker lives.

He realizes that he has invaded his wife’s privacy by tracking her location and looking at her messages.
“But I had a bad feeling, and my intuition was right. She did, in fact, lie to me about her location, and then, based on her conversation, I assume she met with her former coworker. Just three days after we got married!” he said.
Plus, he pointed out how, in the past, his wife had always sworn that he could use her phone whenever he wanted and that she had nothing to hide.
Even so, he can’t help but wonder if he’s being too controlling. On the one hand, he knows that they are both independent people with their own lives. Yet, on the other, he cannot get over how she blatantly lied to him.
“I mean, if I told her I was going to work in a cafe and then I instead took a train to a nearby town, then met with a female friend, I would think she would feel insecure if she found out,” he reasoned.
Nonetheless, he’s not sure whether snooping really was wrong or if he should confront his wife about this now.
Why would his wife hide her meet-up if she wasn’t doing something behind his back? How would you deal with this situation?
