This is going to eat away at you so I don't think you have any choice but to find some way to talk to him about these visits. Have you caught him out lying about other things, if there is a lot more going on here you really need to sort it out for your own peace of mind.

What would I do? Well, if I valued our partnership, I'd sit down with him quietly and ask him if his ex is having some problems. Is he trying to help her out in some way?

I'd make sure he knows I love him and I'm willing to help if there are issues he's bothered about.

he swears he never goes back and has no friends, let alone any round there
So he already knows you are aware he goes to the old area, isn't he?

You are not being honest with yourself, you ARE bothered by it and I'd guess his secrecy is because he know you'll react badly.
You both need to start being honest with one another, if you want this partnership to continue because there's no future for you if one is spying and the other lying.

Just have it out with him and tell him that you decided to track him and have found him out in a lie.
If there's no trust in a relationship then it's no use carrying on with it.

He's obviously not going to park right outside his ex's house is he ?? Just the fact that his car's in that area should be enough.

Been with partner for a few years, we live together in my flat. The last 6 weeks or so, instead of going to work ( carpet fitter so mobile) he has been doing a few jobs, then he goes back to his old area when he was married and spends time there. This is in the same road as his ex lives. I know this because I can see where he goes on his map app on his PC - he does not know I look. I actually have no problem with him going back there, as it could be an old friend he sees, he doesn't even park outside his old house,but he swears he never goes back and has no friends, let alone any round there.
Now this is written down I can see this is madness! How on earth do I approach him and basically tell him I have been spying on him?? I don't even want him around because he has been lying to me about where he has been. But how do I tell him I know where he has been and that he is lying every day?
Be gentle with me. I know I should be stronger.
