This may sound ridiculous to you, but ASK HIM! Don't let this go on under your watch. Just ask, 'hey, who are you talking to?" or something along those lines.

My WH used IM's in his A, so don't put it past your H to do the same. I don't know your sitch, but all Waywards are aliens and don't think this is unusual or CALOUS behavior.

Also, if he turned the volume down on the computer, you won't hear the IM prompt...

Thanks, I might try. He has his laptop with him constantly. The only time I can get to it is when he is in the shower. In the internet history i can see where he might be doing this, but it won't take me to the page.

if he is using yahoo im, go to "contacts", then "message archive" and that will show u the history of messages...but only if he is saving his history...u can set it to where he does and he won't know it...go to "messenger" then "privacy options", then "archive" and choose "yes save all of my messages", then click "apply"....and then close it..that will save all the im's he sends to people...

Buy a keylogger and it has a setting to record im's and send them to an e-mail address that you provide. I suggest e-blaster, it will record e-mails, anything typed in.
