I was paying bills online. We had changed cell phone providers in April, and the printed statements which we opted for from the new provider did not have the calls listed.
This was August, 4 mos later, and I just happened to open the call log online. Hadn't dont that with the new service.
WH's history is in my profile, but periodically I make sure to be aware of his actions, or look for evidence that the AP from his previous marriage might be fishing again.
2002 and 2004, here on out to be known as the V-day card/cookies incident, and the long, handwritten letter that he burned without reading incident, seemed far away in 2010.
I can't remember if I already knew her BH was killed on his job or not. WH said he found out from reading his old town's newspaper articles online.
I found several calls to one number, Googled it, couldn't find a name, so I paid one of those services and found it was her.
I pulled previous months, and found he initiated a call to her office number June 27, 2010, while I was not home. The rest of the numbers where either her cell phone or home phone, I don't remember, but think it's cell phone.
He had texting cut off, because he always said he didn't like it, but I think now he was stingy and didn't want to pay for it. The phone we just got in Dec have text, and I triggered badly at the store when he said he wanted to try it because I use it and so do the boys. I agreed to it as long as he deletes nothing unless I see it, plus there is a log to see if they are all there.
What I found that night, the night I didn't sleep until daylight because he was on a midnight job, is 55 attempts to call her over 2 mos' time, and 36 conversations.
He checked on her because her husband died, she is a friend from high school that could discuss things I couldn't, she iz his age and sympathized with growing older (we have 11 yr age diff) and he said when asked why, "It's a weakness I have."
whether it's holding onto past, to soothe his own soul and convince them he really does care (does he? or is he conceited and just wants them to think he's that swell of a guy?) , or finding 'a bright spot in his day' (his words), it wasn't what I expected from our relationship, especially when he saw how upset I was at her fishing attempts those two years.
I am moving forward, working on my reaction and issues with this, but I'm pretty convinced that it will always cause me great pain when I call up the memory of that night -- the night I found out that no matter how much he says he loves me, he loves himself more, enough to hurt me in the process.
