I read the "Spying 101" thread. However, most of the advice doesn't apply to my situation, as my wife moved out 3 months ago. I'm thinking about hiring a PI. Here's why:

-- The service would be professional.
-- It wouldn't get me in legal trouble.
-- It'd afford excellent proof.

The only downside is cost. Any thoughts?

My WH had moved out prior to my finding MB....the tools on the "Spying 101" still helped me.....and I was being gaslighted as well....

DO IT!!!

ps....Stick to one thread. It makes it easier for the VETS on here to keep up with your situtation. It doesn't matter if you have a million questions on different topics. If you have an emergency and need help right away, you can always change your thread title.....

If you find it hard to do it yourself and you got the money do it.

Instant, undeniable results for me , using the PI. It got my sanity back(okay, that is not saying much).
I was fortunate. I use these guys in my law practice and they are my buds. It was gratis.
But, if i had to spenr the $$, I would do it in a heartbeat. It was a lifesaver.
