How to confront my wife?

About a month ago, I was bored and I don't know why I did but for the first time I looked through my wife's phone, I was being nosey I guess as I never been the jealous type. I found some texts on my wife's phone from a co worker asking her to his for dinner and some fairly friendly texts back and forward from the two of them, I wouldn't say flirty but jokey. A couple of days later my wife tells me that she needs to go out to a posh dinner for a work thing in the middle of the week and doesn't really give up too much info. I got suspicious as only time shes gone out for work is on Friday or Saturday night and thats with friends to the pub. So I bought a gps and placed it in her car, I found out that the night she went out she didn't go to London where she said the dinner was, she went to a small town near Oxford which I know her co worker lives. I might be naive but I figure that me and wife have a good relationship, never seem to argue, still have sex quite a lot even though together for 10 years and get on like best friends, so ever saw this coming. A couple days later I worked up the courage and told my wife that I read her text messages about her co worker asking her to his for dinner, and saying that I believed that she did not go to this special work dinner but she went to his. She told me that she understood how it looked from the timing but she promised me that she went to London. Bascially I wanted to give her a chance to confess but she didn't. Anyway I didn't press it as figured that maybe she is scared to admit that she lied. However last week she told me she was going to her friends house straight from work and I put the GPS tracker in her car and when I checked it, it showed that her car never left her place of work the whole evening, her friends house is 20 miles away and her friend does not drive! I don't know what to do as to the best of my knowledge she has never lied to me in 10 years and now in the space of a month she has lied twice. My problem is that I want to confront my wife but then I will have to tell her about the gps and that makes me looks controlling and crazy

    You just busted your wife , at the very least, LYING to you. Yet, you have a problem with your behavior? You trusted your gut and it turned out you were right. You have every right to be upset and suspicious, IMHO. You need to confront her, but be careful what you wish for, it may be a life altering answer. But, do you want to be lied to and cheated on the rest of your marriage/life? If she lies about the situation even after you tell her about the g.p.s. your woman has definitely strayed. Sorry, but I wish you the best and hope maybe she was simply planning you a surprise birthday party? Good luck!

    Few people think about having to deal with the consequences of their actions. In this case; being 'bored' and nosey has led you to create a situation where you spied on your wife by tracking her movements with a GPS. How can you now avoid not looking controlling/crazy?

    You wanted to 'give her the chance' to confess what? What you choose to believe but may not be true? You're making assumptions and expecting your wife to confirm your assumptions. If you're not comfortable with a situation, why not talk it out until you feel assured instead of deciding not to press the issue? The result is that now you're still wondering if she's telling the truth; how is this helping you to resolve the situation?

    It's fair that you're now suspicious of her behaviour but making assumptions won't get you to the truth. You don't know if the GPS malfunctioned. You don't know if your wife got to her friends using alternative transport. Your wife may have taken the jokey text messages too far (when someone asks you out and you're married, why continue texting) but what choice do you have other than to be honest about the GPS so that you can resolve this? Be prepared that you may not get the result that you want.

    I hope things work out for you!

    I agree with the people above. She has been caught and now she needs to be confronted. I know how you feel. I caught my ex husband by hiring a private investigator. I felt really crazy, and felt like I was doing something wrong even though he was the one doing something wrong. In your case, it's the same. She is the one who is wrong. You were right to be suspicious. She is obviously having an affair. Time to call her out and figure out where to go from there.

    EDIT: @ Life Coach: You're really funny. You actually sound like the person who cheated trying to explain your way out of it. "The GPS malfunctioned." Oh come on! Yeah, it coincidentally malfunctioned and had her go directly to where the person lives!? He is not "choosing to believe" anything. His wife has been caught. Are you the wife or something?

    Some cell phones have GPS tracking systems on them as well so you could always use that method to track her down.

    Or you could hire a private investigator to track her.

    When my ex cheated he displayed odd behavior.

    He was secretive with phone calls, changed his passwords on the computer, starting hanging out with his "friends" more often, would initiate arguments just to leave the house for 4-7 hours, stopped talking to me or even being civil towards me, loss of both emotional and physical affection, criticized every thing about me and my personality, etc.

    He turned into a different person from the one I knew, he wasn't the same person I fell in love with. It was like living with a complete stranger.

    Its the worst feeling ever to find out the one who you trusted the most betrayed you. And unless you've been there its hard to know just how it feels, its probably time to confront her with your information, or next time just show up to where she is at and see for yourself, just be prepared for what you may or may not find. But at least then you can address the problem and it will be in the open. I hope you find it isn't true, and hope it works out for the better. Best of luck to you, and if you find its true, counciling and friends and family will help you get through it.

    It's best to be honest. I know it may be hard, and you may be afraid of what she may say, but honesty is better than hiding it, especially if she ends up finding out about the GPS herself. If you are suspicious you should let her know so she can ease your discomfort. I know it's corny, but honesty is key, for both of you. If you're open and honest with her, she will be open and honest with you. Just make sure that you tell her that you just want the truth and that you will listen calmly and will still love her no matter what. If she feels safe, she will most likely open up to you. Hope this helps.

    I don't think the GPS makes you looks controlling and crazy. Most people who hire private detectives or do something like you did do it because they suspect that their spouses are lying. Most private detectives will tell you that if you hire them, chances are, you're suspicions are correct. Instead of telling her about the GPS, tell her that you had her followed because you suspected she was lying..and tell her that she wasn't where she said she was going to be.

    The number one complaint of women is that men don’t listen. When a woman is talking, listen to what she is saying. Read here https://tr.im/gdpA4

    Don’t watch her mouth and wonder what it would feel like to kiss her. Don’t stare at her chest and imagine what she looks like naked. Really listen to what she is saying then give an intelligent response, preferably on the same subject.

    sorry to say, but i think she is having an affair. either find a way to accept this or get ready for a separation / divorce.

    i really can not understand how women can throw away a marriage over a fling. i really hope there are not children involved.

    no matter what, keep in mind "time will heal all wounds."
