Well you ask your husband to whom he is chatting and if your insecure you let him know that. The best way to be is communicative. You've got to communicate and not be overbearing. I know I can be at times but I work on that. When my husband chats with someone I ask "who you chatting with?" and he tells me. Usually it's one of his old RPG buddies, or it's a buddy from work. But either way the best way to be is to be communicative. Not trusting him and invading his privacy is like buying a ticket to divorce court (an american court show)...

Forgive me for saying this but if you have to go as far as spying on your husband to make sure he isn't cheating on you, then there is something wrong with your relationship. I personally wouldn't go as far as that because if it gets to a point where I can't trust the person I am with, I would evaluate the relationship and see if counseling is needed to solve the problem. That is me. However, if you feel the need to snoop around what your husband does, then, well, I wish you the best. Look at your program directory and you will find the MSN Messenger Folder in there. There should be a folder with "Users" on, if I can recall and there you can see the user ID and other information.

I totally agree with you. Most situations can be handles well if couples learn to talk things through. Tell him what you think, you can start it out with some humour and make sure you get to let him know how you feel

hi,smallcloud. may be at now,you find your husband some weird,then some barrier is formed between you and your husband. to solve the problem,i think the best way is communicating with your husband,telling him what are you thinking,evoking him to tell you who he was chating with,if there is some problem with you. tell him that you are care him,you'd like to communicate with him honestly,i think honest communication is the best way to settle it. like you,i'm also a not comfident person,it's harder to do than to say,but to have a better life,to you and me,more confident is a more efficient recipe than spying your husband's chating record. wishing you solve the problem smoothly,happy life.

Try to go to my documents then received files. There will be a folder with msn mail in it. Open it and you'll find history in there. The only problem is you have to do it on his computer. Hope it helps.

smallcloud, First of all, what do you think looking into your husband's MSN chat will help you achieve? Is the chat content more important than your relationship with your husband and your marriage? Or tell you where the both of you have failed? I am sorry but I just do not see how the chat contents can be of help than having a heart to heart talk, doing things together as a couple and learning to resolve differences encountered together, than create a bigger barrier between the both of you. I always believe that there is always a reason behind everything and your husband's online chat addiction is no exception. I feel that the both of you should sit down and talk about it, and mind you accusation and confrontation will not help. You should try and let him know that you are hurting because of the lack of attention and your personal aspirations on this marriage. If the both of you still could not arrive anywhere, then the both of you should consider professional family counseling. If you want to learn about love, be prepared to take some risk in getting hurt and shed some tears - it's part of the growing up process in love. Take care and have a nice day.

smallcloud no dont spy on him, talk to him, ask him who he is talking to on the chatroom, even if its a guest,it might not be another woman. if you have to spy on him, then your marriage is already in trouble.You should be able to sit down and talk to him,he is your husband after all. communication should be the first and best line of offense and defense also. dont spy ask.

first of all you must trust your partner and if he is not loyal than kick him. as u know in a relation it is very important to be loyal nothing is more important than that. install a software known as golden eye. it will give u chat history and also password of your husband but be careful. always remember "HE WHO IS WITH NO SIN WILL CAST THE FIRST STONE"

I don't really know how to do this. I'm about as "un-techie" as it gets. What I do know though is that what you want to do is lethal to a relationship. Try putting yourself in your partner's shoes. How would you feel if your partner was checking your chat history because your partner didn't trust you? I think that you need to think about why you have trust issues. If it's because of your own insecurities, you need to work on it. You will lose your partner if he or she feels closed in. If it's because your partner has cheated, dump him or her.
