cat, I have not asked him to see the phone again since I first found out about it, because he still maintains the lie that he gave it to ow, to pay for and keep till the contract runs out. But as of a few days ago, he still has it and uses it.
It's funny, but several times now when H and I were talking on the phone, or when he was leaving the house, I hesitated about saying ILY, and he would either say it first, or once he said didn't you forget to say something? We were talking the other day, and now I have gotten to where I will bring up something about us, and I will say something about him possibly leaving in a few years, and the other day he said he wasn't going to leave me. but you know, I still don't really trust anything he says after too much lying has gone on. He has even commented on my never trusting him again. Well, if he is nervous about me finding the secret cell phone which I have proof positive he still has, then I still have no reason to trust him.
I guess I just have to act as if I do trust him, and maybe one day I will find that he has become trustworthy again. One can only hope...
