I have found out that husband is having an affair in February.

He had promised to end it and work on the marriage but I know that he is still in contact with her. He keeps on denying and he will only admit it, if I present him the evidences.

We have been married for 12 years and we have two small children.

He never uses the computer, he reads his gmail email only on his iphone. I have no access to his mobile phone, I need to get into his email to have the proof that he is in contact with her.

Is there anyway to get his password?

Welcome to MB, atir. I am sorry to hear about this situation.

First, your H should not be demanding that you prove his affair. He should be willing to be transparent with you and show you anything that you want to see. If he will do not do that, you should take it as evidence that the affair is continuing and ask him to leave, then go to Plan B. Ask him for his gmail password, and do not give him the opportunity to clean up the account before you go through it.

Have you read Dr Harley's advice about dealing with an affair? The materials are available free on this website. Have you read about Plan A and Plan B?

What Are Plan A and Plan B?

You should put a keylogger on your home PC just in case he ever decides to use it to send an email. Suggestions for keyloggers are also available in our spying forum.

If you intend to spy, you must not give your H any clue that you are doing so. Do not give him the opportunity to take the affair further underground. I gave my H the opportunity to do this to me repeatedly for over 3 years, with disastrous consequences for our marriage and my mental health.

Why don't you have access to his mobile phone? Does he keep it at work? If he keeps it at home, can you get hold of it while he is asleep and put spyware on it? Have a look at spyware suggestions in our forum Operation Investigate.

Tell us more about the affair. Who is OW? Does she work with him, or is she an old girfriend, or a neighbour?

First of all, waywards are addicts and addicts admit nothing.

IF you want evidence....

Put spyware on his phone while he's asleep.

You could also get a VAR to hide somewhere where he might talk on the phone in the house or his car when youre not there.

When you get the evidence, confront and insist he make his life open and accountable to you. he should be hiding nothing, you should be free to check his phone whenever.

Has an NC letter been written? Has the affair been exposed to all?


What would you do if you were not afraid?

I agree to not letting on that you are spying. Be careful to not get caught. Don't worry about email for now if you don't have passwords. Go straight for the credit card bills. If you don't have access to the hard copies, call the 1-800 number on the back. It's usually automated. You will find out where he used the cards and on which days. Check facebook, too. You might not be able to get into her account, but maybe one of her friend's has an open account and you can find post or pictures to prove the affair.
PLEASE do not try to confront him with weak evidence. Find the hard stuff, gather your supports (you will need them all), expose nuclear, and buckle up and stay healthy spiritly, emotionally and physically. Affairs kick our butts!! The Art of War INDEED.
