Yes he is. And does his contacting OWs make a legal or financial difference to this?

My h got a new phone in June of 2016 and incredibly, I did not grasp the implications until a MONTH AGO! I believed his explanation about his need for a new phone (while I was still paying his off on my credit card... cry)

Would it have made a difference? Yes in the sense that I would not have waited till I was suddenly hospitalized to notice he was not present for me & that he had one foot out the door, and I would have wondered why that was...



This is EXACTLY what he did last time after he found out people told me they saw him with the last OW. He had to go and get a new phone. H has no idea I have access to checking the phone bill and I've never mentioned anything I saw to him.

does that^^ mean you can check the phone he just got? IF SO, ask yourself if there is any constructive purpose to do so.


So long story short. Should I just cancel his line since. I know he's got another phone. If he has a new phone there's no need for me to be paying for his phone too.

Isn't the real reason you want to cancel is to exert some control in a situation that feels out of your control? A part of me thinks this about your need to show him you are "not stupid".

Would it really save you money, or is this a family package?

What is your goal? If it saves YOU money, by all means cancel it as long as you don't show all your cards.


So should I just cancel it today? I can suspend the line without having to pay the cancellation fee. I was going to suspend it until Christmas and then get S9 a phone and add the line to his new phone this way I have a way to contact him.

lots of thought and attempts to control are in this^^^ and I don't really get it.
"Suspend until Christmas..." What? "have a Way to contact" - your h? If he has a phone number, new or old, why not use that number? Your son? I'm confused.



We originally had told him no phone until middle school but I would feel better him having one if he's going to be gone with his dad this way I don't have to contact his dad to check on the boys including the baby.



okay as to the phone for your son, but what does that have to do with your h's new phone?
