Yesterday i got my husbands cell phone bill in the mail and when i opened it i saw that he had 5 calls come in from the town his ex lives in.He was working in the next town and he said that maybe it picked the signal up from her town but every other call picked up the signal in the town he was working in.I dont think that his co worker would call 5 times in one day.I would question this to him but he would get mad and say i dont trust him but its not him i dont trust it is her.He has never done anything to betray my trust do you think i should question him on this?

Either you trust him or you don't...

What if he's telling the truth? You'll stir things up for no good reason......

If you don't trust him or don't believe him then....do a little poking around on your own..

I don't think a conversation will about it will work out well for you..question has been asked and answered already. Smile

he had a couple of crazy ex gf's repeatedly calling. Every time he just hung up on them, one time I called her back myself and let her know where I was willing to take this. I totally trust my dh, and he can not help that the two in particular women he dated decided not to grow up.

They have called his business, they have called his former residence, and now that our home # is published, I'm sure they have called the home. Do I worry about it? No, why you ask? B/c my dh would literally have to be insane, or smoking drugs to want to dump me, and the wonderful marriage we have to reunite with these losers who have absolutely nothing going for them (the best they can do with no ged's and their felonies is a low skilled job). Is it intrusive and over stepping my boundaries? Yes, and I have handled it over the phone previously, however, if they call w/o me knowing it, I don't sweat it. One crazy ex showed up at his business a couple of years ago with her friend (the friend was having us provide her a service, and the crazy was there for the view). I wasn't at the shop, my dh totally told me about, and made his employees cash them out, he didn't even go into the office to be in the same room.

I know my dh sometimes won't tell me if they called, not b/c he has anything to hide, but he is fiercely afraid of us fighting over something so ridiculous, so sometimes he isn't exactly forthright with the info on the phone calls. He was when she showed up at the shop. I personally don't sweat it. And I don't sweat it b/c my dh demonstrates in so many ways he has 100% desire to be with me, married to me, and he is always at where he says he is at, and doing what he says he wants to do, so I have no reason to believe my dh would do something inappropriate behind my back.

A question for you...how long was the phone call recorded from the town the ex is from? Maybe she is calling, he is ignoring, and avoiding a fight with you. I personally don't think that the phone bill will show the cell phone picking up a signal without someone actually calling. Perhaps you should call the cell phone company and speak with a tech to see what is really going on, if you feel you need to.

I don't understand. If the situation doesn't bother you at all with the ex gf, whey would this information when shared with you cause a fight? The other question that I have is do the husbands concern themselves with losing their wives or the wives being unfaithful or is this just a woman thing that we do to ourselves?

it wouldn't cause a fight, my dh was afraid that it would (he was assuming that I was going to be mad at him, and he wanted to avoid the fight, he was totally wrong about assuming that I would be mad), therefore there has been times that he wasn't forthright with the info in regards to the phone calls.

Now when she showed up in person, he informed me immediately. And I did not blow up. Sorry if I confused you.

I think husbands are fiercely afraid of losing their wives, and sometimes they withhold information to avoid fights. My dh does have a hard time establishing boundaries, more often he likes to avoid nasty situations by ignoring the behavior, rather than confronting the person face to face and setting boundaries. In the crazy ex's situation, confronting her may have perpetuated more phone calls b/c she was "getting" attention, whereas, he ignored them, and eventually they stopped. Sometimes you have to realize that you can't reason with insanity...

I did this too.. And I am not sure if I should be shot for it.. But I found something out 3 years ago when husband and I were dating for not to long.. But his ex's number was on his cell bill and I did my own detective work.. I wrote the number down off the bill, went to the computer and did a look up like look up someone by there telephone number.. Ok so what you do is do that.. If it comes back no big deal great.. But irregardless you will have your answer.. Right..
No harm done.. And I am sorry now a days people scare me.. I love and trust my husband and we worked all that out and just got married.. But it took a long time for me to get over the fact of that hurt.. He never cheated per say with her.. I mean he called her but that was enough for me and I so confronted him.. And you want to talk about a jaw dropping.. WOO>. and he came clean.. So just investigate get your answer and move on..

I feel so guilty for even thinking these things but it scares me do death.I just cant afford to go through anymore hurt in my life.I have called the cell phone company and they will not give me any info because my name is not on the contract.The phone # is not on the bill but all it says is it was an incoming call he has no extras on his phone like call display and things like that.I have the bill in front of me and the minuetes he talked all 5 calls was 19 minuetes all together.It is on my mind but i dont want him to feel like i dont trust him even if she did call and he hung up i still think i should know about it i am his wife now and if another women is calling him he should be honest.
