3 years later and I don't know what is happe

It has been 3 years and I really want to believe that life has changed for the better. There are always little things that happen that make me wonder. Husband still works at the same place where the EA occured however he claims there is no contact.Recently in April husband was in a race with another male coworker and the pictures were posted on the company's facebook page. I don't have facebook , but I looked at the picture and I see the OW made a comment that she liked the pic and said congradualtions. That caught my interest and I wanted to know why she still had to be in his business. He is not a facebook person either and said he didn't know why. Now which brings me up to this past weekend , we were in a golf tournment , that we are always in every year. The next day I looked at his phone and there was a message sent out to a person in his phone that said " I need two lips now" . I called the number and it is listed to a guy that he just hired at work. I found out all this information prior to asking what the heck this message was. He clearly said that it was a new person named Tom that he just hired and he has not ideal how that text got sent. The thing about it is that I was with him the whole entire day at the golf tournament and he was not texting. I do not have any feelings in my gut , like I have in the past. For the past three years he has been very into out marrage and making up for the past mistake. One thing that I have been waiting years to do ( as suggested by the counselor) was to ask him to open his work email. Well this week I did and he refused!. So, this really makes me think he is hiding something and I am really bothered by this whole thing. This is my secound marriage and I have been through a divorce once and seen the effcts on my three grown daughters. We have a daughter together and all our friends think we are the most loving couple. I'm crushed and it just feels like every time I feel safe , there is a interuption in that feeling. I have beeen on the phone calling the verizon company and it is possible that someone can send a message and interup the texting. My H said that he is going to get rid of the texting and he does not want to go throught what we went through three years ago. He claims he loves me and our daughter more than anythin gin the world and would never jepordize that ever again. Help my friends???? Pleas elet me know what everones thoughts are? I have occassional made up a fake name and looked on the OW FB page and I sometimes wonder if she can tell that I have looked? can't wait to hear back from some of you.

What is his reasoning for not showing you his work email?
chewdy
We did it in past and I looked at all of them and questioned him of all the ones that seemed not professional

If (big if) there anything bad in there, he is now on alert to get rid of it. Thus, if you really are going to try to view his work email again, perhaps you should just hold in those feelings, and then surprise him with the request after he things you have let the issue go and when he is not worried about what is in there again.

I did for three years

Yeah a man cheats and he lost his passwords for life.

I agree with agame - once a person cheats, if their SO stays with them and both rebuild, that person has lost the right to privacy for the remainder of that relationship. Period. I don't care how long it's been, I would never tell my W she can't see something she wanted after I cheated. And I was the one that cheated. It's been 14 months since my one night A and Dday. And even if she wanted to see my email (work or not) I'd show her in a heartbeat. To me that seems like something is being hidden and now he will work to get rid of all the evidence. There is no excuse, especially since he showed it to you before, he can't claim that there are "confidential" things there. You've been there and done that and he must show you.

I really would like to walk away from this , but don't feel strong enought to do it yet. I'm struggling with what it will do to my daughter. She is 12 and her and my H are so close. We worked really hard to have our daughter through the miricle of In-Vitro ( both working two jobs to pay for the process). I have been divorced before and it really had a huge impact on my three older daughters.

Do NOT ignore your gut. Hell, my gut is getting all worked up about this from across the internet! If he cheated on you then he has zero grounds to shut you out of his email like that. In my mind, the only time you do that is if you have something to hide. Even if there was nothing to hide in there, the fact that he put his pride and ego before your feelings about it was still wrong and it pisses me off. The text he swears no knowledge of would make me question him, too. How in the hell do you accidentally type out a coherent sentence? I am calling bullshit.

I have to agree. I think cheaters always have "weird" stuff always happening to them. I went through this with my husband. It drove me insane. He would get an email from some girl and he would say he had no idea who that was and why it was sent to him. He should let you look at everything no matter what. Good luck. I feel for you cause I remember going through all of it. I will soon be divorced and am not regretting it even though I loved my stbx.

You have received great advice and I concur. Cheaters lose their right to privacy...period. It's almost two years for me and my CS answers all my questions. He knows I still check email and text/phone records occassionally and question him about people and numbers I don't recognize. He owns this...it's a consequence of his horrible betrayal.

Thanks for everyones words ! I am actuall very close to walkinf away, I'm just playing it safte and making sure all my fianances are in order. I pay most of the bills anyways. I have made a counseling session for myself to help guide me in this process.
