I just caught my husband flirting someone on his mobile phone. I learned about this when he's still sleeping until I decided to checked on his phone. There were numerous messages from the girl saying that they want to meet just the two of them. To avoid discussion since im already mad. I sent out a message to my husband that i am mad at him. For the whole day i was thinking what will i do? Im not the type of person who will make things worse. I dont have the girl mobile number coz i might be jumping into conclusion and i might be wrong. Can you give me advise on how to deal with this. Thanks.

So what did your husband reply you? You and your husband already has a child I believe.. tell him not to give up everything for a flower on the sidewalk.

I think its a lie. Men will always lie thats the sad part they will only admit when you have to find out for yourself or trick them into telling you. You should have wrote the number down and called this girl.

He said if he's doing something fishy he could have deleted the message before he gets home. And he said he's not the one who's using the phone to text the girl. should i believe that? or is that a lame excuse?

lame excuse!! talk to him seriously about the matter. Use your mind, you should not let your emotions overcome you.

I would do nothing. It really wouldn't bother me. I dont' get jealous over things like that and I know my partner would be completely honest with me about what he was doing and who the perosn was and what he felt for them. But i'm in a polyamorous relationship so flirting isn't a big deal. If I were you I would confront him and ask him what is going on, stay calm and rational, get all of the information and then when you are calm enough make a decision about what to do.

Before i was thinking the same when we were still girlfriend/boyfriend relationship. He can flirt if he wants to. This is to test him if he is honest about our relationship. I caught him once and he admitted it. Marriage is a different scenario. I dont want our family to suffer immediately. I will confront him once i got a firm grip on the situation, i'll do my best to stay calm.However, Im not sure how long can i hold on to my crouching tiger mood. Thanks alot for the advise.

I agree. Life's too short to waste worrying about a little flirting and jealousy is such a destructive thing.

I would definately confront him about it. I would not rest until I had an amwser to what is going on. sure he might be angry that u went through his mobile, but also he shouldn´t keep secrets from you if u are his wife. I found messages like this as well in my ex phone. i confronted him adn he turned it all on me. I should have never looked and all that stuff. However he was cheating on me and me calling the girl confirmed that. Good lcuk to you!

You did call the girl?? Did you talk to her nicely ? Or you did ask her first how she and your ex related?

i guess to me i don't mind, its more of a trust situation. I am actually flattered that someone else thinks my man is hot--because i KNOW that I have him!

I am flattered that my man is really hot. In our country men like him tall, skinny, caucasian look is something women would like to have. Eventhough he is already commited to someone else. If im putting myself on the third party shoes, i would definetly want that man and it would be great challenge for the both of us... Especially if the men is hitting on me also. You know what i mean a little spice makes things exciting. As long that the legal partner havent caught them they would still continue to play the fire.

How 'bout a talk with your husband regarding the girl on his mobile phone. If you really don't ask 'bout her, you can't really conclude or what will be your next step. Consider all factors either good or bad, that's then you'll start your next move. Goodluck....

Yes, don't put fuel on the fire, especially yours. Ask him what is the meaning of this and se what he says. Personally I think he should not be doing this. Why you ask, because this isn't something I would do to my wife and would not like if she did that as well. See what happens, but be calm. It may be innocent and not worth you getting fired up about it. Good luck.

I would give him a warning and talk to him about it. Then if if happens again his behind is out the door.

It looks to me that you have 3 choices. #1 confront your husband head on, tell him what you found out and demand an explanation. #2 leave him alone and punish yourself everytime his cellphone rings #3 do nothing until the problem gets worse. But don't talk to the girl, leave her alone, it's a matter between you and your hubby.

i think it is fine to pseak to the girl, just to find out whats going on... not to yell at her, but to ask her whats up!

is it true??? well, the first thing you should do is to find out if true or not..if it's not true, just forget about it. then if it is really true, then its ur time to shine...talk to him and make him realize what a stupid thing he did flirting with other girls besides ur trust in him and ur hard work and patience in ur relationship. if i were you "uupakan ko na sya".

you are already looking for a way out.You say you could be wrong?about him receiving messages from another female?didn't sound like you made any mistakes.confront him and if he lies than you have a problem for if he lies about something you know is true then he will certainly lie about seeing her in the flesh.You will have to decide when you speak to him if he will stop this behavior,and don't let him make a joke of this and say it was nothing because it is some thing.If you deal with situation in the real you may come to a sad conclusion,but you need to know all that's going on and not be blinded by what you want to hear him say.

if it's the 1st time you caught him, confront him properly & calmly as you can about the matter & let him explain his side. try to control your temper so as not to blow-up his top during this confrontation. we have woman's/wife's instinct that would tell us if he is telling the truth or not. listen & observe well the manner of his answers & actions if he is sincere w/ what he says. constantly remind him of his responsibilities as a husband & that it may be ok to admire other girls but he must know how to put limitations to it as he now married. give him another chance to straighten up this mess. but, if he still continue to do it the next time around, then that would be another story. you have the option to keep the relationship or not this time. communicate constantly w/ your husband & pray for guidance.

It seem like you might have trust issues, why would you check his mobile phone while he was sleeping. I think you should discuss it with him, but you need to address your distrust with him to.

Actually, my husband is so secretive. He doesnt want me to know about his whereabouts coz i might get worried about him. Yes, i may have a distrust issue w/ him however his phone really helped alot to know what he is upto. Actually this is the first time i caught him doing that.

Actually i am not married yet but if i caught my partner flirting with some other person then i would hold her hand and given her a slap on her face at that only moment.I would not tolerate such things and it would have broken my heart too.

I would really love to give her a big slap on the face. If i could meet her personally. Since im so kind i could only do that in my dreams!

Cry???? we're talking about the family here, and its not that simple at all not to deal with it. You'll understand it maybe if you've got a family of your own soon.

Soory about your situation, girl. The bad thing is that you showed him too early that you already know about it... so now he will hide better, and erase the messages, etc... Believe me, I´ve been through this... if he really wants to meet with her and sleep with her, he will, whether you talk to him or not... What you can do now is just to find out asap how bad is that and make a decision - whether you tolerate it or not. Talking to the girl is quite risky... if the ggirl really wants him, she will always be on his side. Woman´s cooperation doens´t work in this field

Actually thats what i thought also. Talking to the girl is risky. Maybe if i done that i would be hard for me to solve the problem. Like what other say i might burn the fire so big.

I hope in the soonest possible he would realized what you said. I've been wishing for that someday i would feel that im so secure that no one can destroy our relationship even nor an other party is involved. It would be a great desire of every women to have a man like that.
