I got busted while trying to tape telephone conversations!!! He found the tape recorder and I almost died!!! I had to play it off like I had to type up a meeting from work. I also had to cut the tape to make sure he didn't go back to listen (which he did try to do) Boy was that scary! I don't know how I got out of that one......<P>To all you snoopers, BE CAREFUL!

I've been caught before and admitted why the tap was in place. If you still want to gather information from the tap, you'll have to buy another one and hide it really well. Radio shack has aself contained unit that will run off of batteries. I added a jack in the garage and plugged it in out there. The tap was a wonderful source of information. it hurt at times, but I found it better to know rather than to wonder.

Some thoughts on getting "busted" and tapping.<P>Latrice - I've gotten "semi-busted" while looking for my W's car to stake out. Once, while I was driving around a mall parking lot looking for it, she came out of a store and saw me but I didn't see her. Later, she told me she'd seen me there and waved frantically. Then she asked me, "Are you spying on me?" because it was during the afternoon of a workday. I got out of that one by saying something like, "Well, if I was, I certainly wasn't doing a very good job! Anyway, how could I be spying when obviously I didn't even know where you were?" And then made some comment about just taking a break and going for a drive. (Always answer a question with a question!) I don't think it matters a whole lot, though. I'm fairly sure she SUSPECTS me (correctly) of snooping. I think most cheating spouses of us snoopers probably suspect something's up, even if they haven't actually caught us red-handed. I just don't let that stop me!<P>Latrice and HBD - Don't you think, though, that if a spouse even SUSPECTS you're taping their phone conversations, they're not going to say anything incriminating? And it sounds like both your spouses have plenty of reason to be suspicious. Well, at least it makes them work harder at communicating with the OP!<P>Sometimes I'm reminded of those characters in the old MAD magazine's "Spy vrs. spy." We're trying to catch our cheating spouses cheating and they're trying to catch us trying to catch them cheating! Bizarre, no?<P>--Wex

I got caught and am still trying to live that one down. I had it under the bed in the room where our boys would crawl under the bed and turn it to talk mode. She went in the room while I was on the phone and overheard me talking. She went ballistic. From that point on she has not trusted me because I was trying to verify what I already knew. Got accused of taping the other night because a light on our phone was coming on after she hung up the phone. At this point, I don't care because I am praying God is going to open her eyes. Besides if she is talking to him, it is more than likely on her cell phone. She jumped on me for even looking at the bill which shows what numbers she called to include thetime of day.<P>------------------<BR>God Bless,<BR>Rob<P><BR>
