Just having pics of naked chicks on his phone is not proof positive that he's cheating. Twenty years ago, men would sneak off and buy Playboys and Penthouses, and that's because men get a thrill from seeing naked chicks. It's just the kind of animal that they are. But while it could be an element of cheating, it isn't proof. However, cheating isn't the only thing that can destroy a relationship. Failing to respect a partner's privacy and being deceitful (trying to trick him by spilling a drink on his pants, for example) can devastate a marriage. In the end, you can only communicate honestly with your husband, let him know that you have concerns, but also let him know that although the temptation is strong, you are not going to lower yourself to snooping or spying on him. Ask him to come clean with you. He either will or he won't, but look at it this way: if either of you is making choices that are harmful to your marriage, then it probably won't survive and/or won't be a very good relationship while it does. You can't make his choices for him; you can only make your own choices. I think you should choose to behave honestly and respectfully torwards your husband, whether he deserves it or not -- because after all, your behaviour is a reflection on you.

Ok - so firstly he keeps his phone on him like glue. This is a classic sign. Your suspicions have now been confirmed. Whether you like it or not he is having a 'virtual' relationship with another woman and in his head he is cheating. Men will do this as an escape from reality or for attention / ego boost. Clearly he has little regard for your relationship. Confront him DEFINITELY. Watch his reaction. If he says he is sorry and he feels low and wants to sort things out then please go for it. At the moment he is cheating in his head. If he claims all sorts and then carries on with this, knowing you are upset, please consider ending it. If he starts on this track it is a prelude to an affair. You should be able to look at his phone without there being this on there. Do not let him make you feel bad for having a look - you had every reason to due to his actions. Be strong.

You have already caught him out and ned to tell him. He must show you the content of his phone and if he yells at you and refuses I am afraid your suspicions must be right. Tha you have to think about what to do next.
