    ...if you found out that your wife had sent over 100 text messages in the last month to her friend's brother's phone, had been exchanging texts with his phone (partly when friend was home in another country, many since then) several times a day? Have seen one or two texts - seem quite platonic but does it not become an inappropriate platonic friendship when its actively hidden from the spouse? He's supposed to be moving to this country sometime...

    I do trust her but I'm afraid to see the replies. If the roles were reversed, I don't think I'd stand a fighting chance of getting even a hearing.

    What kind of texts are we talking about?

    Also, 100 texts in a month is not alot. Sure it may average out at a few a day. But 20 of those messages could have been sent in one day. Meaning they (possibly) could have had only 4 or 5 actual conversations via text over the course of the month. Just some food for thought.

    Personally, if my girlfriend were doing it and i thought she was actively trying to hide it, i may feel somewhat paranoid. But if she were open about it (which i think she would be) then i wouldn't have a problem.

    If he's moving to your country it's very possible she's having a lot of contact with him simply because he's her friends brother - her friend could be "Hey, Bob is moving over to where you guys live, will you help him out?"

    And what do you mean actively hidden?

    And you are sure the texts weren't to her friend who was using her brothers phone. I suppose the next question is 'why were you snooping?'
