Found tinder on husband's phone

We have been married almost two years and we have a baby together. I was using his phone and found the tinder app. I plan on calmly confronting him tonight but I'm so scared, I really hate confrontation. I told my mom and I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that he had it before we met and forgot to delete it. I told my mom if he says it's old I'm going to ask to see the last message he sent and if he refuses then I'll know he's lying. My mom says not to do that and to just tell him to delete it and never download these apps again. What should I do?

the thing is we are in the middle of his PR process for me to sponsor him to Canada and it is not worth it for me to sponsor someone who is a cheater. He already quit his job though and has his visitor visa to come to Canada with us for three years. So if he's cheating I do not want to go forward with the process. If he has tinder in the middle east who knows what kind of stuff he will do in Canada where haram stuff is easily available. How can I trust him or believe him that he forgot to delete it if I don't see the messages and have proof?

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you too. How did you deal with it?

well we are pretty traditional in our roles for now but he worked a lot. He quit because he's assuming that he will permanently stay in Canada now because the pr should be approved pretty soon (next year). He knows when I get back to work he will have to step up and do more though. He spends a lot of time with friends but I just assumed that's because he won't see them again for a long time. I just feel emotionally exhausted I was cheated on by my ex husband too and I really don't want to get another divorce especially since I have a child now. I don't know what to do if the worse case scenario is true

Sis I am not by any means telling you to let this go easily. But ask your ask and if there’s no proof of cheating then let it go imo. I can see why your mom said to just ask to delete it. Though I know it’s not that simple, I’d have a serious convo about it either way and let it be known you will not tolerate cheating. Hear what he has to say. Worse case scenario is he’s entertaining other women or actually physically cheating. Now I wouldn’t tell you to just let it go but maybe consider counseling if that’s the case? Easier said than done I know but remember we all have different tests we go through and no one is perfect. Allah knows best. Make dua about it! Hope all turns out well

who “forgets” to delete something like that.
im not saying assume the worst but its really such denial to be saying oh its probably old and doesnt mean anything.
look at this day and age, we use our phones multiple times a day. we know whats on there for the most part.
you guys have been together for two years?
everyone saying to tell him to delete it, it takes a tap or two to redownload it or to get it elsewhere.
again, not saying its certain he’s done you wrong, but to say to turn a blind eye is not right for the long run.
he could be endangering your health or even your child’s health if he is doing wrong.
and honestly who wants a religious man who’s doing haram and disrespecting you, it’s hypocritical and a sad situation.
confront him but control your emotions, don’t accuse, just ask. but don’t be a doormat either, get solid answers and proof.
May Allah bless all your decisions and interactions.

You shouldn’t of told you mom. A wife is supposed to cover and conceal her husbands sins and shortcomings. Confront him as you have every right too. Wether it’s old or not if you still want your marriage to work don’t allow this app to come between you both. Ask him to delete it and never download these kind of apps again and also he needs to understand how would he feel if it was the other way round?
