'He sent her our wedding photos and said "I wish it was you"': Awful discoveries wives made snooping on their husbands' phones - including the creepy habit of so many 'nice guys': SEALED SECTION

Hearing the shower turn on, I jumped to his side of the bed and lunged for his phone. I knew I had roughly five minutes (why do some men insist on speed-showers?!) to gather as much intel as possible. This was an opportunity too tempting to pass up, and I had to take it. A few years ago, I was dating a guy who, in theory, seemed like the man of my dreams. He owned a farm, could ride a horse, had a strong, masculine energy, and a booming deep voice to match. He was basically Rip from Yellowstone before Rip was even a thing.

I was completely smitten. Everything was going swimmingly until I took a brief holiday to London and returned to find a very different boyfriend. He seemed less interested, started hiding his phone or keeping it face down on the table at dinner, and a mutual friend mentioned he'd had a big night at the pub while I was away where his ex-girlfriend just so happened to be. My little Spidey senses were tingling. Not in a good way. Something was up, and I needed to know what.

Now, full disclosure: we all do dumb things when we're in love, and this was certainly not my finest moment. What I did next wasn't great. But at the end of the day, I did it. I knew his phone passcode because, well, he was reckless with those things. He'd asked me to find an address on his phone months ago while he was driving, and I - despite rarely remembering where I put my car keys - had definitely remembered his passcode. In fact, I could still recite it now, years later.

Anyway, within five seconds, I was in. I went straight to his texts and typed in his ex-girlfriend's name. Nothing. He had either deleted the messages or been blocked. No worries, there were other avenues to explore. Jana asked her followers for stories of what they'd found on their partners' phones - and their responses did not disappoint. I opened Instagram and searched her name. Nope. He had been blocked from her account. Interesting.

So, I checked his Facebook messages. Bingo. There it was, he had been blowing up her inbox, asking why he had been blocked, reminiscing about how much fun they had that night when I was in London, requesting a sexy picture, and even asking if he could come over. (God, he really was a creep, looking back.). She, on the other hand, was having none of it. Her replies were pure scorn: demanding to know why he had slept with her while still with me, why he hadn't dumped me yet, and, most shockingly, how the hell I was in town that weekend. (How did she know?!).

I was instantly heartbroken. By the time he stepped out of the shower, I had packed my bags and was already heading for the door. He looked shocked and asked where I was going. I screamed at him to check his Facebook, called him every name under the sun, and jumped in my car. He tried to jump in front of it. But at that moment it was like I was Lewis Hamilton, practically drag racing past him. It was all rather dramatic.

Side note: deeply irresponsible and wouldn't recommend, but good lord, the racing car angels were looking down on me that day. I spent the next four hours crying and listening to Adele on repeat as I drove back to Sydney. Over the following month, in the depths of heartbreak, I deeply regretted going through his phone. I genuinely thought he was the love of my life. A part of me wondered if I could have just blissfully ignored the red flags and had a happy, oblivious life with him.

In reality? No. But in the moment? I really regretted it. Here are just some of the wildest things people had uncovered while checking their partners' phones (stock image posed by a model). That got me thinking, what had other people found on their partners' phones? I threw the question to my Instagram followers, and, once again, their answers did not disappoint. In fact, they made my story seem downright boring in comparison.

Here are just some of the wildest things people had uncovered... There was the wife who came across a lewd video on her husband's phone:. 'I think the worst that I found was a video of another woman masturbating. It was a close up in her "area" and then after she "came" she asked if he liked it. I can never erase that from my mind. Needless to say, we are now divorced.'. When I asked her how he responded when she confronted him, she said: 'He tried to pretend it wasn't even there and I had made it up.

'Then when I played it on his phone for him, he made up a story. He is good at stories. He said that the woman in question had been sending him heaps of messages and he had tried to shut it down. 'He said she was notorious for sending this kind of thing to lots of people. He told me he had gone to his boss and reported it, and also was dealing with her boss to try to control the "situation" (he met her through work).

'Even though she had been reported, she continued to send messages to him. Of course there were messages from him to her and he had engaged in the "conversations". 'He later admitted that he would often text her while travelling for work. Now five years later he has changed the narrative surrounding his infidelity and the breakdown of our marriage. He says that I was always accusing him of cheating because I was very insecure and he couldn't deal with it anymore.'.
