writes: All marriages have their troubles. All of a sudden, my wife has started talking to her ex again. She knows I can't stand him. She has gone out with him and his friends on several occasions lately. She claims it's always a group and she's never alone with him. She's even been going out into the wee hours of the night. Over the last 2 weeks, she has gone out with him 4 times. She tells me she'll be going, but I still can't stand it and she knows this. She's stayed out all hours of the night and wouldn't answer my texts or calls for several hours. I feel it's very inappropriate for her to be associating with him, especially knowing how I feel. Her response is simply, "I haven't felt like myself in a while and it feels good to get that feeling back." We always end up arguing about it, and it seems she's standing up for him. What should I do?

And as the others have said, do a little private eye work.
Also speak to a lawyer because she is probably cheating.

She does say where she's going, but still. I've Been trying to check the phone but messages are always deleted right away.
adifferentperspective- sex life has gone way down since marriage. especially so in the last couple months. It is hard for me to get time off, especially in my line of work. I have one friend who's aware of what's going on, and I'm debating having him check it out. She doesn't know his car, so he might be a good resource.
I've called a marriage counselor. (unknown to her) I think if she's truly seeing there's a problem then she'll go.
I don't want the worst to happen. I have no solid proof anything is going on beyond friends. But it's gone too far.

You need to do P.I yourself. This is beyond suspicious. I don't think you'll like what you'll find, but it's worth it.

I would start with checking her phone. try to see her text mess and phone logs and also if you can afford it I would suggest you hire a private investigator to find out what they're up to. good luck!

reader, anonymous, writes (29 June 2010): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI've thought of that, Caringguy. She claims a group is always there. It just doesn't seem right. Especially since she knows I can't stand the guy (we have a HORRIBLE history).
I work nights, and it seems to be the worst on Saturday nights. I even had to come home from work last week cuz she refused to answer me. I had no idea if she was ok or what.
I just need to figure out HOW to go about doing the digging. I can't afford a PI, and she'd figure it out if I follow her. I don't want to get anyone else involved (friends, family, etc).
As a matter of fact just today she called in sick and went to a BBQ with these "friends." Come to find out she went on the back of a motorcycle with no helmet with some guy she's never met. She said he's a "friend of a friend and they all went riding."

2 weeks and she's been out with an ex four times. Her excuse is that she hasn't been feeling herself. She stays out all hours! I think you need to silently and quietly find out exactly what she is up to here, because this is as suspicious as it gets. on't say a word to her. Just find out what she's up to. Do a bit of digging.
