Has anyone ever had a gut feeling that something is going on between their DH and his best friend’s DW?

Does he guard his phone? If he has suddenly started to take his phone everywhere, it could be because there's conversations on it that he doesn't want you to see. Have a quick peek if you can, you might get your answer. Hope all is ok though, take care.

I would not stay in a relationship where the trust has gone. Even if you are wrong about this affair you do not trust him and will be worrying and looking for clues of it happening at some time.

I had no idea as he had laid the groundwork by helping a pal do some work in the evenings when he needed someone to lift and fit equipment. He had been doing this several times a week but one night the pal called to speak to him and I said I thought he was out with you.
I should have been suspicious sooner when he persuaded me I didn't need to attend a party of a friend I didn't like. He told me it would only be work talk and I wouldn't enjoy it. Turned out the woman was a close friend of this man I didn't like and
was obviously going to be at the party.

If you're in a position in your relationship where you cannot have the feeling that something is going on and instantly dismiss it then trust that feeling. Years ago I thought my now ex husband was having an affair with a colleague. I was right he was, just not with the particular colleague I thought. Trust your instincts, they're there to alert us to danger. Good luck.

If it’s got that far, doubt there’s little you can do, except prepare yourself really well for the inevitable whilst you have tge chance,

Me and my ex had got to a bad stage in our marriage and I knew he was having an affair. What I didn’t know was that it was one of our employees. Someone I was working with everyday.

Gut instinct is usually right so trust it. Do be careful who you choose to confide in though, sadly there are cases of the best friend/confidante being the other woman.

Sadly it happens, trust your gut instinct, observe and then confront your Dh

We knew a couple only from seeing them at the same hotel each year. One year the husband was upset as his best friend had died. He spoke of the wife and the way he said her name made me think there was definitely something going on. Last year the wife contacted me to say her husband had gone off with the best friends wife. She said they had been having an affair long before he had died.I had guessed correctly. Trust your gut instinct.
