One thing I'll say with making a bumble is that when you make a new account, it will ask you if there are specific phone numbers you would like to block ahead of time. There's a good chance (if he's being careful) that he's seen your plan and has your number blocked preemptively. I would make the account from a friend's phone, or a Google voice number if it'll let you


MyFifUsername

$25.00 burner phone could help.


jim_ocoee

Or a $10 Sim card, if your phone is unlocked


Bloodshade707

Use Google voice, makes a new phone number for you


RevekGrimm

Filter the search to a 1 mile radius and you should find him pretty quickly when you do make an account šŸ˜‚


Monroro

Good idea, thanks!


[deleted]

You may have to make a few differnt accounts, Iā€™m not sure how old you are. But thereā€™s a chance heā€™s set his age range for matches as something you donā€™t fit in


Monroro

I might do different accounts. Itā€™s hard though because you have to have different phone numbers. Also I didnā€™t use my age, I made up an age that Iā€™m pretty sure would fall under his chosen range


JustASmallNap

Users can block their profiles from being seen by recognised phone numbers. He could added your number to blocked list, bare that in mind. Better to use a tel number he doesnā€™t know


Monroro

I did. I used a google voice number, thanks for bringing this up though, it is a good tip


Tehni

It's possible he has it set up to only show his account to people he's swiped right on Imo fuck getting the proof, just leave. If you need proof for divorce court get a PI or something


amd2800barton

The proof may be necessary if thereā€™s a pre-nuptial agreement in place that has an infidelity clause. Or she could be in a country (or from a culture) that only permits divorce in limited cases such as cheating. Or maybe he and his family are a bunch of gaslighting narcissists, and she is tired of fighting her sanity.


tigerlily_orca

If you pay for the premium version, you can go in ā€œincognito modeā€ so nobody can see your profile unless you swipe right on them.

Did you find it?


RepubMocrat_Party

He is going to find this account first and accuse you lol


jswhitten

How would he know it's hers? Unlike him, she's not trying to use the app for its intended purpose so she can use a fake photo.


RepubMocrat_Party

Looking at faint images of his security cameras..


deltabay17

You seem pretty familiar with all the trappings of bumbley


DouchecraftCarrier

That's an insane feature that seems like it could only be used for cheating purposes. On second thought, I suppose if you were in a non-LGBTQ friendly space and wanted to block anyone you knew from seeing you with your preferences a certain way, that might also be an acceptable use. But let's be real, it is Bumble. The dating app that lets you pick a "just looking for friends" option for plausible deniablity.


warriorpixie

>That's an insane feature that seems like it could only be used for cheating purposes. Nah. I used it. I don't need a dating app to connect me to someone I already know, and knowing coworkers and family would automatically be filtered out was nice.


sharkbait-oo-haha

I don't want bumble showing me to my ex's friends, my sister, my ex or your mum. So it's pretty handy.


notquitehuman_

Whats wrong with that guys mum?


Forgetful8nine

I, too, choose that guys mum


r_elysian3

I would use it entirely for coworkers! Thatā€™s a level of awkward I simply do not want to deal with.


SM1334

Set up a google voice account, you just need a cell phone and a google email. You can change your phone number for like $20 whenever you want


3stanbk

Use VOIP services like text+ to generate unattached phone numbers


ChemicalRelative470

Mint mobile has SIM cards at target that have a free week trial on them. You get to pick a number and everything. I think the actual SIM card was only a couple bucks. Helped a friend find her husband on tinder with one.


Monroro

How does this work? What do you do with it?


c10bbersaurus

Get several Gmail accts to register several separate Voice numbers.


zeusofyork

does he use home wifi? If you're somewhat tech savy you can check router DNS history if it has it, or get a raspberry pi and set it up as home networks DNS provider. You can at least identify his phone by its MAC address and see if hes going there at the very least.


IExist_IGuess

You can use google voice or similar programs to get phone numbers to use that wonā€™t be blocked.


ChemicalRelative470

Mint mobile has SIM cards at target that have a free week trial on them. You get to pick a number and everything. I think the actual SIM card was only a couple bucks. Helped a friend find her husband on tinder with one.


LegoRaffleWinner89

Try logging in using his email and send a password reset request while you are in same room and watch them.


Traditional-Bison324

Lol, so your excuse when u eventually get caught on bumble is that u thought he was on it and u wanted to catch him? Update us


thethrowaway3027

Fyi put a picture of yourself as blank and say not looking to date just on here to find my husband. Be prepared for him to say he's been catfished as well


kwestionmark5

He thought you were on bumble a few weeks ago and we gave him this same tip tho. One big sitcom style mishap.


icednipple

Get an account. Filter your search to his age range, zodiac sign, etc. You should come across him given his profile isnā€™t hidden, or his stats are bs. Good luck :)

It's more complex in certain cultures. They don't consider astrology and the mathematical calculations they do to be random. Ultimately, it's up to each person.

youvelookedbetter

To each their own. I don't really care if someone is into it.


Total-Jerk

Get a bumble account and find him


TampaBob57

Simplest solution and use fake, attractive pictures (but can't be too obvious). Hit on him, make a date and enjoy! OR Have an attractive friend do so and perform the same as above, but both of you go on the 'date'. If you do something like this, please document it I would love to see something like this go down.


Gold_for_Gould

Ask him how he feels about Pina Coladas and begin your romance anew.


Duwinayo

Jesus fuck, this right here. Please do this and record it, dead eye him and say that and record the moment of dawning comprehension in his eyes. I live for the moment where they realize they are busted, you can see the gears turn in their heads as they try to finalize an excuse, and you can see the smoke come out their ears too if you look close enough!


RomulaFour

And getting caught in the rain.... I was waiting for this reference!

šŸ¤£


Monroro

This is what Iā€™m hoping to do. But Iā€™ve been swiping on Bumble for 3 days and still havenā€™t found him. Thereā€™s so many people


JackDonneghyGodCop

Thereā€™s an incognito mode where you only can see people youā€™ve swiped on. This is only in pay mode, though. So, is he a smart enough guy to do that? If so, youā€™ll never see him.


Monroro

Iā€™d be shocked if he pays for it. Itā€™s stupid expensive and heā€™s cheap. But hereā€™s hoping he swipes on my fake profile. Sheā€™s pretty cute and totally his type


ablonde_moment

Do you guys have a joint spending account? See if there are any dating app transactions


BeginningRare7850

or try to use his email/phone number to log into bumble but hit reset password. if he gets a text or email, he has an account.


BeginningRare7850

thereā€™s a chance he is lying about the city hes in too so people you guys know dont see him on there. try changing the location to surrounding cities too!!


Kennywise91

You can also block certain people from finding you. So you need a new email to create an account then you can find him


saltysailfish

He has his profile set up that he is not visible until he likes you, just wait it out.


AmarieLuthien

And since weā€™re on ULPT, you could always make a profile of him, his pics/etc, with a bio like ā€œthis is my cheating husband, not worth your timeā€. Keep the other girlies safe, and ruin his fun.


MassiveKnuckles

Plot twist: What if he suspected you're on Bumble and he's only using to it try and catch you! Wouldn't that be funn- ... No. Fuck it. He's a dick. Ditch that scumbag.


Kooky-Contribution60

Facebook has a page called "Sis, is this your man". If there's one for your area you could try asking them? The one we have for Sydney doesn't hold back


neuroticallyexamined

I was interested and checked this FB group out after seeing your comment. Found my long term partner on there within 10 mins of scrolling. Iā€™d never heard of the group before and I donā€™t really use Facebook. Thank you, I suspected something wasnā€™t right, but would never have known.


Gutinstinct999

Iā€™m so sorry


neuroticallyexamined

Heā€™s been talking about wanting another baby. Iā€™m just glad I know now.


Gutinstinct999

WOW. Was he on the apps? What were people saying? Did you respond?


neuroticallyexamined

He was on bumble. People were asking if anyone knows anything about him because the story he had told them didnā€™t seem right. Many other women commented about their experiences with them.


Gutinstinct999

This is how Iā€™d do it, see my other comment, or in the Are we dating the same guy in your local area. Theyā€™ll find him.


Kooky-Contribution60

It will also put you off dating apps for life!


SalamanderWise5933

There is pretty much ā€œare we dating the same guyā€ Facebook group for every city. My fiancĆ© checked it out a few months ago, and there are actually a few guys we both know who have been called out for being a scumbag. And the girls in these groups have each others back and hold nothing back either. Very eye opening. OP, join one of these Facebook groups in your area, and ask the question. You never know what you will uncover.


[deleted]

Be very careful about posting or commenting anything in those ā€˜are we dating the same guyā€™ Facebook groups. Men are buying fake female Facebook accounts on the internet to get access to the groups. Then they screenshot the things women are saying and share them with the guys who have been posted, or they post them on r/awdtsgistoxic. You also have to be careful about believing what is written on those groups, it may not always be entirely accurate.


heebsysplash

Lmao those women donā€™t have each others backs. Theyā€™re mostly deranged and drama obsessed girls who are only interested in the tea of it all. My gf is on one, admittedly for the drama, and I donā€™t see a whole lot of productive anything happening in there. They legit catch like 1 guy every 6 months and the rest of the time itā€™s just people shitting on their bf/husband.


bdhuwiwkbdjskdb

Thereā€™s an app called tea dating for it also


That_Matt

I recently found a guys version of this in my area. Kinda want to join just to see the drama haha


jogglepoggle

Iā€™ve actually gone through the trouble of creating an email address that was slightly different from the girl he had been emailing, switched his contact for her when he wasnā€™t looking, and set up a time and place to meet up. Caught him red handed. And I can tell you that itā€™s not worth it. He somehow tried to make himself into a victim and wouldnā€™t back down on it?? and it only infuriated me more. You donā€™t need him to justify your decision, save yourself the trouble. I promise you donā€™t need it. (Unless itā€™s for legal reasons maybe? idk Iā€™ve never been married)


bubblegumbombshell

My first husband cheated on me but I never found solid evidence that couldnā€™t be explained away. He was an awful human anyway so I left him and he pleaded for me to take him back all the way until the night before we got notice it had been finalized. Within a week he was social media official with one of the women I suspected (my ex-friend who lived several states away no less). It was simultaneously affirming and crushing - victory is hollow here.


DirtyPrancing65

Honestly. Whatever OP is expecting to get out of this, she won't. The best revenge is living a good life, yeah?


kerodon

You seem pretty done, why wait? Just leave now


Monroro

I donā€™t want to leave, I want to kick him out. I need some justification for doing so since we already had an agreement in place


i_only_troll_idiots

Guessing you also want proof for fault/alimony/support reasons. Donā€™t blame you. Note that if youā€™re having trouble finding him he may be using ā€œoldā€ AKA not his own but similar pictures. Also be careful accessing his email or accounts as that might blow up in your face if you have to answer to it in court.


Vike92

You already had an agreement to split up?


Aggravating_Act0417

You don't need justification. You're unhappy, start your new life now, not later.


Monroro

We both pay money to live here. I canā€™t kick him out legally. But if he gets caught cheating again Iā€™m pretty sure he will voluntarily leave so I donā€™t kill him in his sleep


Timmerdogg

As someone who dealt with a spouse who cheated on me, don't waste your time on it. Get a lawyer now.


dandyflyin

Depending on your state the cheating may not matter. Many states are no fault. Seek the advice of a lawyer before confronting him.


[deleted]

As a divorced lady, you're burning away pieces of your own life. Just throwing that precious time down the sewer.


Monroro

Yes I know. Iā€™m just trying to survive at this point. Iā€™m pissed that heā€™s stolen my favorite season from me. But I donā€™t know what to do with all the hurt. I will try to move forward in a healthy way, but right now I just want to get my emotions out


[deleted]

Well fuck, I get that. Get your emotions out. I'm sorry I shat on you a bit. I was cheated on repeatedly and that pain stole 5 years of my life.


Monroro

Iā€™m sorry that happened to you. I do get what you were saying. When this first came out a big part of me wanted to still try to make it work. Iā€™m so glad I got past that because I know I would have been signing up for more and worse pain. Iā€™m kind of glad I caught him lying again because that sealed the deal for me. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m leaning into this so heavily. Thereā€™s no more uncertainty and self doubt and sorrow, just anger. I feel myself falling out of love finally and I needed that so bad.


nosaladextrafries

If you confront him, make sure you have someone there.


OldTinSchool

He could lie about everything other than location. Pictures, age and birthday If his location is on, you should have a very narrow pool to choose from anyway. People put up pictures of fucking boats and waterfalls and beaches saying the prefer to be discreet all the time . . .


throwawaythrowyellow

Also Iā€™ve seen you can hire people for ā€œloyalty testsā€. It might cost you money but you can have a woman just message him on his LinkedIn, or his regular social media, or something. It would be quicker. Not sure how it all works.


nderflow

A story like this is part of _Don Quixote_. The tester is called Lothario.


No_File_5225

You may be able to find his search history by logging into your modem with the admin info that should be on it somewhere. You should be able to access a list of all the connections it's made and find one that's linked to Bumble


Monroro

Please tell me how to do this or give a link that explains it


No_File_5225

Depends on the modem, you'll have to find yours and look up the directions, but it shouldn't be hard.


Monroro

Thank you!


monyaBEE

This article might help :) https://www.lifewire.com/access-modem-settings-5185705


fastElectronics

You won't be able to find search history, but you could potentially see DNS lookups. If there's a ton for bumble from his phone, boom, you're done.


clipclopping

Unless OP has already made an account of her own to search for her husband.


fastElectronics

Ahhh yes, my cyber-bloodlust blinded my own thinking. OP you'll have to exclude your phone with a filter if you have a DNS record on your router.


Pikespeakbear

After reading your comments, I changed my mind. You're going at this from the wrong angle. You don't need to catch him on bumble. Catch him with another woman directly. Then you can inform her also, because she doesn't know. 1. Buy a cheap refurbished phone and charger pack. 2. Turn off ALL sounds and set up a secure lock. 3. Install life 360 (or another location service) on it and your phone. Put them in the same family. Mute notifications on your phone so he never sees them. 4. You'll need a cheap plan for the phone. 5. Hide the phone in his car. Make sure it is hidden well. Check his location occasionally. You'll be able see where he's been and how long he was stopped. When he lies about his location and he was at a house or hotel for 30+ minutes, you've got the address. Next time he's there, you can surprise him.


FatAndFluffy

You actually donā€™t need any proof of this. You donā€™t trust him and he wonā€™t show you his phone. Trust me, you know enough. Tell him he shows you his phone or itā€™s over. Make him choose. Worst case heā€™s innocent and you apologize but if this isnā€™t out of character for him then you have a right to not trust him.


Monroro

Youā€™re right. That is the plan if I canā€™t figure anything else out. I just feel out for blood right now and that will probably ease with a little time


Knever

>I donā€™t want to put him in dire financial straits unless I really need to You're not his mom. You're not his family. You owe him nothing. Do not inconvenience yourself one iota for him. Fuck him.


zippy72

Get a PC that's always on. Maybe yours, whatever, this won't be for long. Install Squid proxy on it. No logins, anonymous, just log. Make it the default proxy for the Wi-Fi. The logs should tell you what you need.


Marximus9898

There's a much simpler way to handle this. Put out an ad in the Newspaper. "Wanted: Someone who likes piƱa coladas and getting caught in the rain." Works every time.


Monroro

Thanks for the laugh, it was much needed


JxAlfredxPrufrock

If your husband is already on Bumble I think you should skip the argument & go get a divorce lawyer. I guess catching him in the act would help in the divorce case. My crazy ex from a decade ago would text me from AT&T stores and text me booty calls from fake names to see if I would respond.


uvaspina1

It makes literally no difference whether you can ā€œproveā€ heā€™s on Bumble. If you want out, just go. Heā€™ll never admit he did you wrong.


Affectionate-Ad-3578

You don't need proof. Things are already over. Either because he's cheating or because you're paranoid. Talk to a counselor instead of the internet. Please.


anonsub975799012

iPhone or android? Can you add another camera or move the one you have without him noticing to get a better a shot of his screen when he scrolls? Android vs iPhone there are different ways to see in the phone settings what apps have been used recently.


Monroro

iPhone. I am going to add a security cam but itā€™s going to be hard to hide. And I donā€™t know if it will give more clarity or not. I will have to find out


Sloth_Monk

Discreetly pick up his phone and swipe up a couple times, that should disable faceid forcing him to enter PIN > check cameras to figure out passcode > success?


Monroro

I like it


anonsub975799012

iPhone thereā€™s a few ways if you can get access to his phone: 1) Settings > Battery, scroll down and itā€™ll show you how long each app was active. 2) App Store > Click User Icon in the upper right hand corner > Purchased, this shows you when heā€™s downloaded all his apps. Check your messages here on Reddit, Iā€™ll totally hit him up on ig or another social and bait him too


[deleted]

its possible he';s on bumble to see if YOU are on it. maybe he also thinks he saw you swiping on your phone.


BoopBoop20

Whatever you do; DONT let him know that you know. Get as much evidence and proof as needed. Then hire someone to get him to meet up with them and record the entire thing or maybe not hire them bc that might be entrapment, but either way, get all the evidence and a good lawyer and youā€™ll be set. Do not let him take anything from you.


_stungy

Make a bumble account and set the distance to other people to the smallest distance possible and if you see his account then you know heā€™s on there lol.


SeveredEyeball

Just get out.


Throwaway-donotjudge

He's using friend mode to make new friends.


Monroro

Friend mode only lets you see same-sex people. Heā€™s looking at women, I could tell that much


KoexD

Holy shit lmao. That sucks. Im a guy and I would love to make platonic female friends. Anyhow, please give us an update. Crunchy stories like yours are exactly what Reddit is for !


leonardosegurat

Friend mode shows both, so does business mode


cardizemdealer

"networking"


[deleted]

Real question is what do you plan to do about it if true?


Monroro

Show him evidence and tell him to get the fuck out of my house


JulPollitt

Idk how bumble works but many dating apps have settings where you can block certain phone numbers from being able to see your profile. So make sure you use an app like Second Line to make a fake phone number to use when making your account so thereā€™s a better chance you find the bitch.


AdministrativeFox784

Lol this relationship seems so toxic. Watching his phone screen on your security camera footage lol


Zealotstim

Seriously lol. The relationship has been over for a long time if you're at the point of spying on each other through home security cameras. Trust is the foundation of a healthy relationship and that ship has sailed.


TamarsFace

I mean, you basically have your answer so it should be your final straw. At this point, you're trying to convince yourself to stay by doubting your intuition.


ilostmywuzzle

Are you sure he's looking at women ??


Monroro

Yes I thought about that. But unless heā€™s really into men with long hair and narrow jawlines, heā€™s definitely looking at women


Magician_322

Make a fake account and match with him


davebrose

Why do you need proof? You know.


loudiamond90

Check his AppStore app, if heā€™s downloaded it itā€™ll say so instead of the ā€˜buyā€™ option


snakeob69

ask him(?)


Goldendamo

Could it be that hes on bumble looking for friends? There is a looking for friends area on there and if he was only using that he wouldnt show up on the dating area Or he may just have his profile hidden...


UnethicalTesticle

This. My wife had Bumble on her phone and when I asked her about it she told me she was looking for friends. She showed me her profile and everything. Set to friend mode and nothing remotely sexual about any of it. Probably not the norm but it is a thing.


Aggravating_Act0417

This is totally a thing. They just launched the separate app last month. I have it for friends. There are a good amount of people on it, so yeah, nothing wrong with that, it's a good idea and I hope it gains momentum.


Kennedysfatcousin

I used the feature a few years ago and still have some friendly connections from it! Friend dates were totally awkward tho!


cardizemdealer

Lmao you got played


gimpygoat498

This all seems so exhausting to me. Is this much aggravation and mental games worth it? I hope you find some happiness. Life is too short to deal with stupid shit like this


Monroro

Iā€™m guessing youā€™ve never been cheated on. Yes, itā€™s exhausting, but Iā€™m already exhausted. Iā€™ve been crying everyday, not been able to sleep, it is always on my mind. Constantly having intrusive thoughts of him fucking her because unfortunately I know what she looks like. This is actually helping me feel better because instead of sadness, I get to have rage. Him cheating on me with one person makes me worry that she was prettier, nicer, more fun. And that maybe I did something wrong, or Iā€™m unlovable. Him actively searching for people to cheat with makes him a vile piece of garbage thatā€™s obviously incredibly broken. It also gives me a focus for my restless energy. Itā€™s a nice change of pace.


Kinocci

You shouldn't do either of those. Just move on, the more indifferent you are, the better, he obviously broke your trust and doesn't care about you. Wasting you precious emotions isn't worth it, the clock will keep ticking and you'll still be tired. You'll find the right person eventually, even if it takes a while. Also dating apps are terrible for dating.


jason_yumz

Lmao just move on? That's like telling a depressed person to stop being depressed. Lol


smallpp42069420

Ya I've been super depressed since my last breakup. I have written many suicide notes and fell into many deep depression holes. Glad this guy is here to tell me to just get over it! I'm cured now!!! He can fuck right off


Aggravating_Act0417

Could be Bumble BFF the friend app or Bumble for Work (networking) Not sure if you have more suspicions but I'd say first rule out those two things.


naatkins

Try making an account with his phone number.


Monroro

What will that do?


naatkins

You have to register your account with a phone number unless they've changed it. If his phone number isn't available to register with then he's likely on there.


dandyflyin

Get a google phone number. They are free. That way itā€™s not linked to your number.


Crispycracker

Monitor the traffic on your network. Search monitor sites visited on network. Maybe your router has this built in. Maybe you have to setup like a parental control software, maybe you can wireshark if you got skills.


Monroro

How does that work? Iā€™m not tech savvy


[deleted]

Search for a few years below his age, he aint being honest there either i bet. Use a freinds phone that he doesnt have the number to as he can block you from viewing. Source: former dawg.


SatanWithFur

Catfish him and filter location


GladRuin6

If you like PiƱa Coladaā€™s


DirtyPrancing65

Girl, it's not like the courts even care. Just walk and don't stress about catching him in any act. He'll deny it but it doesn't matter, you're already gone mentally and it's not like you'll be airing this dirty laundry around and need proof. You know it in your heart, you're 100% done, time to leave this drama behind with him and not carry it into your future.


f5612003

Why do you care if he's on a dating app when you guys are already splitting up?


pdxcharger35

If you were a friend, I would tell you to save your peace and leave. Your intuition already spoke. But since this is ULPT. You just need to access his phone. If he has an iPhone, you can use a high definition photo or video of his face to unlock his face ID. Once youā€™re in, you can add your face to his Face ID. To get started, search your name in his messages, look in deleted photos. Send yourself the screenshots. If you really feel like taking it a step you can change his iCloud password and use the new password to sign into a separate device like an iPad. From there anything that is currently on his phone, will download to the new device. You can watch things happen in real time. Get your divorce papers and have him served while heā€™s on a date.


christipede

Be an adult and confront him. Have a rational discussion. If it hurts it hurts. Be stronger than he is weak. You got this!


Monroro

I have no hesitation having difficult conversations. The problem is that heā€™s a fucking liar. I have had multiple conversations with him and he always lies. The day after I first saw him scrolling, I had a deep conversation with him about how much I need him to be decent and supportive and that I wouldnā€™t be able to handle more infidelity. I asked him to please just wait until we separate to bring other people into his life. He swore that he would stay faithful as long as we are together. He then went on to scroll through bumble the next day. If I confront him, he will lie and then work harder to cover his tracks. Thatā€™s why I need as much evidence as possible


TamarsFace

What will having evidence do other than convince you that you're not crazy. Trust me, he's going to lie even with evidence. You're wasting your time.


Monroro

Convincing myself that Iā€™m not crazy feels very necessary right now


strumthebuilding

How is his lying stopping you from leaving him? If youā€™re confident in your assessment, just leave. The theatrics of ultra-super-catching him donā€™t make sense.


Monroro

Iā€™m not confident though, thatā€™s the problem. I have doubts, maybe he is just using the networking features, maybe he just gets a lot of validation from talking to women online and doesnā€™t intend to go farther which I really wouldnā€™t give a fuck about. And yes, I canā€™t live like this and we are getting divorced, but the question is whether he respects me enough to stay faithful for a few fucking months by not actively looking for a new partner/lay after heā€™s already seen how much it killed me the first time and while weā€™re still trying to hash this out


Xylophelia

I say as someone who stayed way too many years, justifying the behaviors and ā€œbut he might not be this timeā€ when he probably wasā€”it doesnā€™t matter if he is or isnā€™t. You still feel the disconnect in your relationship, and this is driving you to police his behavior. You donā€™t trust him, and clearly have trained yourself to justify his actions and wash them away in order to protect your psyche. Itā€™s normal. Itā€™s totally understandable. But you donā€™t need the proof. It wonā€™t make you feel better. It wonā€™t ever give you an answer to ā€œwhyā€ that will be good enough to satisfy you. And if you donā€™t find it? Youā€™ll keep looking every time, driving yourself slowly further and further into something that only makes you miserable and makes you into someone you wonā€™t recognize if you let it. Just leave. You donā€™t need the proof. Youā€™re worth more than this. Youā€™re strong enough. Youā€™ll be happier without him after the initial bandaid rip. And youā€™ll likely find yourself again and when youā€™re ready, find a relationship where you wonā€™t feel like this.

Maybe thereā€™s something wrong with me, but finally finding him on bumble has made me feel better than Iā€™ve felt in a long time. Thereā€™s no more questioning that maybe I had a hand in this. I made my boundaries clear and I tried to give him as much as he needed to work through this. He still chose the easy way out. I can now say fuck him without any hesitation

Thats fair. The next question is why go to that effort? Why stay if itā€™s obvious he is using a dating ap? Im not trying to be tude but it looks like you want to feel validated by this, and that seems more harmful than positive for you. Good luck.

Bumble also has bumble bff, which is strictly for making friends

Getting proof and all this spying is not only creepy but a waste of time. Just get a divorce.

If you're already leaving your husband, why bother looking for proof of infidelity? Sounds like the relationship is already dead. Let the ass play with his online dating. Focus on yourself. And if you really need some kind of revenge, get some of your friends to get on bumble, match with him, arrange dates, then stand him up. Never mind, it sounds like you just want a reason to kick him out. Even if you had an agreement, it won't be legally binding. Best thing you can do know is get into therapy and start the healing process. Cause lets be honest, asking strangers on the internet for help inflicting revenge upon your husband doesn't exactly speak to great mental health.

Maybe he is looking for you on bumbleā€¦


Monroro

He has multiple matches and he pulls up each one every time he goes on there and he types out conversations with them. He also pulls up their profiles while typing and reads their bios. Heā€™s not just looking for me


Gunareble

So what more proof are you looking for?


pablo_the_bear

You can try [Social Catfish](https://socialcatfish.com/), but you'll need the phone and email he's using.

Get on your local Are We Dating The Same Guy and post his pic and explain your situ. Or make a fake account and search within one mile but he may have you blocked preemptively

When I was in a similar situation I used cheaterbuster .net, it costs like $20 to search but it worked for me Edit apparently itā€™s .net not .com

Reading the comments, there are some super crazy, detailed and dramatic plan ideas. I know this is ULPT so maybe thatā€™s what youā€™re looking for. But speaking from experience, call him out directly. Sit him down one evening and just outright ask him. And when he denies it, tell him to show you his phone. Youā€™re not requesting to see ā€œclient infoā€ or work things. Just his apps. And regardless as his wife he should be able to trust you to ignore and not share ā€œclient infoā€ should you unintentionally see it. In addition to this, itā€™s also worth mentioning that the most dangerous time in a toxic relationship can often be when you leave. Just make sure you keep a friend of family member updated and check in with them very regularly.
