Is he cheating on me?

So found tinder on his email from July last year saying thanks for your purchase to tinder plus. His excuse was he must have never cancelled it and didn't notice, apparently the account it was in must have always bounced on the payment and i never took it (you know for all the years) then apparently must have had money in the account in July and it got took. Hence the confirmation email. Then found another one after saying "ur profile is about to be hidden" Google says if you not on it for more than 7 days it will hide ur profile. So, If he wasn't on it. Then why wasn't it hidden before if it only takes 7 days? Apparently he's saying its an automated email.. hmm why don't I get them? I deleted my account when I got with him. I don't and didn't get them..
Then on 3rd January this year got another email from them saying " couldn't stay away huh?, its show time!" Which to me implies he's logged in and it's sent a "welcome back" email? Again apparently it's a automated email and just hasn't unsubscribed.

He works away in hotels 5/6 days a week so in my mind, he's on tinder while he's away and bringing women back. Or he's just chatting to them. Apparently it's all in my head and I'm looking into it too much. No, its right in my face but he's making me feel like I'm wrong and stupid for believing an "automated email"

So there's that and then he also booked an air b&b at the end of January for 2 nights. Told me he was working those two days and texting me while he was "at work" then his phone "died'. Questioned him on this and he said he did lie, he had a mini party with 3 friends for his birthday which was 8th Jan. Why not tell me? I wouldn't have minded. Just pure lies which makes me think was there women there? In my home time too.

Would you believe him? Do you know how the tinder thing works with emails?

I've been with this man for 3 years, we broke up once for a month that's it.

Personally, I think he’s up to something. Or has been up to something. It could’ve been just a couple of days but he’s definitely done something the shouldn’t have. Even if it was just messaging other women, it’s still wrong in my opinion.

And I deleted my tinder as soon as me and my partner officially started something ‘exclusive’. Never once have I received any form of email from them since. And to have a billed subscription from them, you have to have a live account which means he either reactivated it or never deleted it to begin with.

I’m 95% sure tinder emails aren’t automated. Especially not the hidden profile one. If you’re not active on your account for a certain amount of time they do stop showing it to people. But you don’t get an email to say that. The hidden profile email is because he’s deliberately hid his profile, then the couldn’t stay away one is because he’s unhid it again.
He’s gaslighting you very badly

I’m pretty sure I’ve never deleted my account & I don’t get any emails off it - for reference I’ve been with my partner over 2 years now. I’d personally say he’s up to something 😞 don’t let him gas light you into making you think it’s all in your head! Xx

Avatar

@Lorren he told me it must have kept trying to take the payments because that's how they "make their money". In my head i know he has because I'm seeing it with my own eyes. My heart is telling me he could be right.. I need to listen to my head and not be stupid. He's trying to turn it around on me and tell me how stupid I am for believing it and wrong... I'm so shocked, he never seemed like the type of guy I've a 1 year old and 6m pregnant. Sucks

Hate to say it but definitely up to something, emails like that’s don’t just “pop up”

Avatar

@Amelia thank you this is what I needed to read, I wasn't sure how it worked properly. God I feel SICK. X

Avatar

Have him log into it in front of you to prove he hasn’t been on it. Then get him to check the messages on it

Avatar

@Kate if he's deleted the app on his phone would it all still be there when he reinstalls it then? X good idea

Avatar

Oh hun he’s definitely up to something. Booking an airbnb for a secret party? What would you say if a friend told you their partner did this?

Avatar

I haven’t a clue now tinder works but it sounds very sus. Especially the air bnb.
Definitely get him to log on in front of you. I’d he’s telling the truth he should have no problem.
I think that’ll give you all the answers you need.

Avatar

I’m finding the timing really suspicious as well - he’s getting
the welcome back email the same month he books an Airbnb for a secret party? Any chance you could confirm this with the friends he claims were at this party? Or their respective partners if you know them?
Also, even if tinder did send automated emails to inactive users, it wouldn’t be what you’ve pasted above, it would rather be something trying to get people to come back in my opinion, this makes zero sense.
I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this, but trust your instincts and don’t let him gaslight you x

Avatar

I've been there. Wish I would have left at that very moment. You can't believe a word he's saying. Don't drag yourself down trying to believe him either. You either accept he's up to something AND lying, or you leave. It's as simple as that.

Avatar

I've been in your position unfortunately and after alot of digging I confirmed that you actively have to purchase that. Also, if it were on auto renewal there wouldn't be a confirmation email.
Really sorry to hear you are in this position. I would personally calmly talk to them, being certain and assertive and discuss why those decisions were made by him and where you go from here, but certainly do not let yourself be tricked/manipulated.
At the end of the day, he may be a cereal cheater or he may be a human who made a one-off mistake, but you need 100% honesty from him.

Avatar

Definitely cheating or trying to sorry.

Avatar

What do I do from here? I'm 6m pregnant with a new year old. Do I kick him out and get some head space? Is that mean, do I let him stay? Thanks so so much for the help because his gas lighting almost worked.. the heart can be a fool.

Avatar

Keep an eye him. Been here before many times. I’d get him to log in with you present. See when *his* last sent messages were. That will give an indication if he’s been on and messaging people. I’d also get him to go into settings and delete the profile. If he continues to receive these “automated” emails, then you know.
I deleted the app and I don’t get these emails. So just be cautious!

Avatar

He’s cheating. How is it mean for you to kick him out if he’s betraying you? Get rid of him. Leave ! Don’t stay for the kids, just leave.

Avatar

Nah that's super fishy! when me and my partner got together I got a new phone and genuinely forgot to unsubscribe from it on my old phone, only realised when it came up as a notification on play store asking if i wanted to reinstall it on my new phone about 6 months later.. id obv signed up with my google mail and it was connected via that, i put my hands up and explained to my partner what happened as i genuinely had nothing to hide and we don't keep secrets, I then unsubscribed straight away... i never receieved any of these emails until i reinstalled it to cancel it, so he has 100% been on it, i never received any more emails from it while it wasn't in use or after I unsubscribed! I'm sorry I think he's lying to you, and think to yourself, if the payments bounced why doesn't he have emails about that as they 100% would inform him somehow that payment failed, and surely if payment failed they would have suspended his account? Which you would think they would also notify him via email.. sorry x

Avatar

Hmm I dunno, something seems fishy to me.

The only saving grace that he could use is that the emails are still there. Like, almost as if he doesn’t feel he has something to hide so why delete the emails if it was a genuine mistake/delayed billing thing.

But I beg to differ.

Don’t let him gaslight you. The more he does, the more I say he’s hiding something.

Only thing is, I don’t know what to suggest as a way forward. Because it would be difficult to prove unless you got onto his account. By which point, he’ll have probably already panic deleted any wrong doing and there won’t be anything to see.

I’d maybe question the Airbnb situation more. It’s weird that he would hide that from you. Why would he feel the need to have a secret party? And as someone said above.. suspicious that it’s in the same month of the Tinder payments.

Avatar

Something isn't right. I'm so sorry. Trust your gut, you deserve better.

Avatar

Sounds very suspicious and definitely been up to something. I’m not really sure how it works but if he was talking to someone wouldn’t he need to match with them? And if he did wouldn’t he get emails to say he’s got a match etc? I’d try login to his tinder if you know his details he uses or from his phone. Or else create your own fake tinder and see if you can find him on it for yourself xx

Avatar

yeah completely agree. I met my husband on Tinder 5 years ago. I never received an email, and I don't think I deleted my account either, just deleted the app

What a POS.
You and your bubbas are WAY better off without this hedonist!
Sending strength Mamma, it feels absolutely devastatingg to be betrayed.
My baby's Father delivered a massive blow to my trust recently in the form of a big fat whopper of a lie, for a year I was duped.
It's difficult to accept and say NEVER again (and mean it) but I think you will feel better off for doing it. Your confidence and sanity, and maybe even your Mothering, will suffer otherwise. It's up and down but you'll find your feet soon Xxx

Avatar

Time to break up. It’s right in front of you, guys will make every excuse in the book to make you feel crazy. He’s definitely doing something!!

Avatar

i just went through my emails to see what kind of messages i have from tinder (from back when i had it, which was about a year ago) and i stopped getting emails shortly after using it, and the emails stated that i had been ghosting the app. so this man 100% has been using tinder. have you looked through his deleted email box to see if there was any other evidence? don’t let this man gas light you… you deserve better

Avatar

Oh boy, this kept getting sadder and sadder as I read on

Avatar

I’d try to make a fake profile and go on it looking for him as I’m sure it says if they’ve been active etc.

Avatar

Definitely cheating or at least tried to. Personally that’d be it for me. Even if he didn’t actually have sex with anyone, trying to cheat would still be a dealbreaker for me.
And to think he was leaving you alone at home to care for your toddler and also pregnant, while out there looking for p**** is actually disgusting. 🤢
And I’m so sorry this happened to you ! 💔

Avatar

Yes he’s definitely cheating. There are guys stay on the app even when they get married. Better let him go, otherwise, he may give you STDs. Sorry you’re going through this. Find alot of support from friends and family

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?
