Is snooping on a spouse bad? I am in the military and deployed, and my wife and I are open when it comes to email accounts and all that. But when I am deployed, I am not able to check her stuff an she knows that. She has a very jealous ex, and she has always been honest when I am home if he ever emails her.
Well, after chatting online for a little bit the other day, my wife out of the blue asks, "Would you ever stop loving me?, do you think you would ever hate me?". I was kind of thrown for a loop, but answered honestly, I would never hate her and never stop loving her, no matter what. But it raised my interest all of a sudden, and it made me question her honesty. She has told me over and over, she would never do anything to hurt our marriage, and until this, I totally trusted her. She has NEVER given me a reason before to doubt her.
So, I decided to get online, and look at the cell phone bill. There were about 6-7 numbers I did not recognize, and they were not her friends' numbers, these were random out of state numbers. Kind of like how most military people have cell phones from out of state because of moving a lot.
I haven't called any of them, but I did recognize one as her ex's number. Supposedly, she said he called her on Christmas Day, but the bill shows SHE called him. So, being a little upset, I texted his number, and told him to never call my wife, ever. He responded that she called him and wanted him to come see her. He is also military, and told me that he didn't, that he did not want to take the chance of ruining his career since she is a married woman now. He also has a girlfriend, and doesn't want to ruin that. We texted back and forth a little, and he said that he is not the one I need to worry about.
Well, I emailed her the very first text from him, saying that she was the one that called and wanted him to come see her. She blew up at me, saying he is lying and making shit up, and that I am snooping and need to stay out of her shit. She doesn't know that I saw the phone bill, which i copied to my computer. I told her, that he has to be lying, that I KNOW she would never do anything like that, but now I am getting the cold, silent treatment. She also has changed all her passwords for everything.
But as a concerned husband, overseas fighting for the country, am I in the wrong for snooping? I never would have thought of anything if I didn't get asked those questions the other day. All I want it to have her waiting at home for me, the day I get back. I love her more than life itself, and I honestly doubt I would EVER leave her, for any reason whatsoever.
Please let me know if I am in the wrong, the right, advice, help, etc. This is running through my mind non-stop, and I haven't even been able to eat in two days now. All I do is workout, trying to relieve the stress, and I can't sleep. I feel so crappy, I am almost to the point of passing out.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I want to keep this quiet from my command, so I had to vent on here.
