A digital voice recorder is just fine.

Just hide it in his vehicle.

You can get them at any electronics store in the office equipment section.

I caught my wife first try and changed it out daily.


I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

there are lots of things you can do. I would STRONGLY suggest that you choose the legal route first. Hire a PI.

First off, YOU can't tap a cell phone and even if you could, you would be committing a felony that would land you in jail. Not only would you be invading your husbands privacy...but also the privacy of every other person her spoke with.

While it is certainly okay to install a key-logger on a home computer, doing so with his work computer would be a HUGE violation of law.

If you cannot hire a PI, I would carefully make use of a voice recorder. Just KNOW it is HIGHLY illegal to record the conversations of others in ALL cases without their consent. In some states you can record a conversation that you are party to without informing the other party. What you will be doing is NOT legal and should only be done with the full knowledge of that.

Imagine if your husband were to discover the tape recorder and/or key logger on the work computer. He COULD press criminal charges against you.

Ask yourself if it is worth it...and if it is, proceed carefully.

A PI is your best bet.

Tapping the phone line and/or recording a vehicle is cheap and easy. Much cheaper than a PI.

It maybe illegal, but so is J-walking.

Tapping a cellphone is difficult to say the least.

Vegmom,

Rest assuured, this will be my last post to you. Talking to you is like banging my head agaisnt a wall, and I truly do not need that.

You are not interested in recovering your marriage. you are not intersted in building a healthy loving marriage with this man. You only want to control him, spy, hound, patrol, and follow him around.

I do not think you have a loving heart towards him. I think you just want to be sure that no one else gets anywhere near him.

What is in it for you? What is the pay off here? does this constant spying keep you from moving on with your life, and truly living? Does all this crap just keep you from actaully getting out there in the world and finding your own personal success??

Your WH is cheating, and will continue to cheat. he will not stop. There is absolutely no reason for him to stop. Because you will allow it to happen while you continue to control, spy, hound, and follow him around.

To anyone who thinks I have been too harsh on her - feel free to read all of the other threads.
