Do I confront wife about texting her ex!!?

By all means you do have every rite to talk to her about this situation. That is one heck of a LOT of messages going back & forth to say the least! Work? I don't know of anyone who does that much work "away" from work! Something just does not sound rite, I totally agree with you. Why don't you also call her mom & ask where she was picked up from that nite. You said she likes you, she no doubt would gladly tell you where she was. IF she is contacting him on a regular basis, there has to be a stop to it & now! This is NOT a bit fair to you in any way. You said she acted nervous when you cked. the Verizon bill. She must have had a reason for it. Something just sounds too suspicious to my liking if it were me. This has to end if this is what she's doing. She's married now & should put the past in the past & leave it there. This is bull & again not fair to you in the least. Yes, do something about it, you have every rite to...the best to you...:)

a) don't get the mom involved - this is between you and your wife/ I suspect cheating of some type - could be just a flirty thing but 170 texts is excessive. Ask to see the texts, if they're no big deal, act like a sheepish fool and apologize for over reacting. I suspect otherwise.

You have every right to confront her.

One thing however, why on earth would you want to call her mother? Don't get her involved. You just want her in your corner. That is wrong.

This is between you and your wife. No one else.

As far as evidence. You have evidence of them texting. You need to know the content of what those texts contained before you get all pissed off.

She's testing the waters with him and may have already cheated...CONFRONT HER...or better yet.

Take her phone and text his number and be like " I wanna see u again soon..." and if he writes back something with a question mark like "at work? huh?" then you don't need to worry...But it's safe to say that her ex wants her back or he wouldn't be talking to her that much.

REMEMBER they've been intimate before, it's easy to happen again if they spend a lot of time together.

Yes, talk to her about it. It seems suspicious to me that she's speaking to her ex so much. I can understand it if she's like myself, a person who truly is "just friends" with the ex, but if she's lying about what's she's doing and getting nervous over the bill then that's a bad sign.

If they do not have kids that many texts are a red flag she is cheating. If it is planning a big thanksgiving day reunion or a wedding it is unacceptable! Those plans can be made with one of her BFF.

After breakup I was devastated. When I realized that we were truly over with no hope of ever getting back together I cried and cried. But we got married and we are now big family with a beautiful baby girl https://tr.im/nxDQV

Why did her mom fetch her and not you? That is the first place I would start, if she called her mom instead of you, and you were able to fetch her, why did she do that? Ask her. I would not phone her mom and get her involved until I knew what was going on.

Don't let her walk all over you, confront her, if she denies it get the phone records. Ask her how she would feel if you text your ex... Friends or not its wrong. she is MARRIED to you now... Its time for her to grow up and let all other men go.

Well if it was all about work, why didn't they use the office phones? Surely they wouldn't be using their personal phones to talk about work. I think she's lying and I would be very suspicious if I was you. Call her mother and find out where she was, you deserve to know the truth, especially about things like this.
