Hi all,
Just seeking some views on my wifes behavior with the iphone and ipad.
We have been married for 33 years, Iam 55 and she is 53.
ahe does sleep over shifts as a disability support worker, sometimes doing double and on the odd occassion triple shifts, and has been in the industry for 11 years. About 7 months ago I had bad "gut feelings" that something wasn't right as she was coming home from work later in the mornings, i.e; she finishes at 8am and the times over a week or so were blowing out from 9.30am to 11am.
When I would ask her what was up she would look at me "sheepishly" and say oh I had a late night, and had to do reports etc, which is fine, but the only problem is my guts was telling me otherwise, it was saying "warning,warning".

At the same time I noted on her inbox,[ we access each others inboxs] that some womens porn sites had landed into her inbox...not the spam box where it usually goes, I didn't say anything as she had told me in the past that now and then she may have a look [ didn't know which type but ] as have I in the past.
That settled for me but a couple of weeks ago her phone bahaviour has in my opinion become stranger, we went for a 3 hour drive to our other place and on the way she was glued to her phone, was playing poker machines [ free ] on her ipad and watching her phone like a hawk' for intervals on the way to our place. I was driving but very much so noticed what she was doing.
On the way back she did similar and when I stopped to check my trailer on the side of the road as I got back into the car I looked her in the eyes and I saw her change the iphone back to the home position [ showing the ap screen only].

She has been going through Menopause for about 2 years and there has been some odd behaviour to deal with there as well but I presumed we had that sorted as I have spoken to her about it several times, I have an understanding of it.
During the past 6 months her time in the bathroom either before showering or when supposedly going to the toilet she has either her ipad with her or both the phone and ipad?.
This morning she was not working and was home for the night and I noted that she got up at 5.45 am and stayed in the bathroom until 7am, the toilet flushed after probably 30 minutes, then the shower was on for 20+ minutes, finally returning to bed at 7am, then getting back up to let the dog out.

When I got up at 7.30am I looked her in the eyes and got a don't ask stair back from her????, yes I noted the times as I woke up for some reason and she was out of the room, I got up to go to the toilet and the door was locked and she was in the bathroom so I went back to bed.
My point is I have a concern that my guts went funny a couple of times over the last 7 months and the emails that time that I saw for sites to look at of women.
After she knew I had seen them the next day she casually said, " do you get any porn in your inbox because I have had some lately and I shouldn't be getting it", I replied yes but it goes into my spam box not my email box.
She has this last week changed her password on her mail box and I can't access it, we have two laptops and the one she is using she has signed up with VPN because she likes to down load movies, now I can't access that lap top either.

she also watches incessantly 'Wentworth', Orange is Black' and Walking Dead' which I believe all have high followings of Gay//Bisexual women?? I don't watch any of this sort of stuff, so can only go on what I have read.

And Yes ; I have asked her several times if she has had bi tendancies and I get shouted down with " that stuff makes my stomach turn" and how revolting' so I have to take her word for it.......but why does my guts get that crap feeling on the odd occassion????
So what do you think?? do I have an issue here or do I "pull my head in" and just go fishing and forget about what she does???
The relationship is generally good all the time although I am highly sexed compared to what she has ever wanted from me, but last week she woke up in the morning and " stoked my fires like I can't remember and we had sex 3 times during the day??? and she was ready to go all day which is very odd.

Thanks for your time
What do you think?

@1OKLIW,
10 thank you for that but wish you had a profile so I could comment further

Meantime an ever-so slight improvement might be carret 'tween minor paras, two 'tween major idees

For the speedreaders 'mongus

I'd even have tabs

However ending summary much appreciated, obviously you're a thinker among the Average Clods (me)

@1OKLIW,
When was the last time you and your wife had a date night?

What are the two of you doing for each other as a couple?

Do you ever have a porn night together?

It seems like you both need help communicating with each other.

I suspect (just based on your post and my life experience) that the iphone/ipad activity are symptoms and you need to put in some time (romantic/sexual/attentive) to find out what's at the base. And if your wife is bisexual or bi-curious, what of it? that 's something you can definitely learn to work with.

seems like the difference is not in the degree of your sexuality but that she wasn't turned on by what you've been offering her. when she took the initiative, things went pretty well

work with that

encourage her to take the lead more often

I hope you let her know - directly and indirectly - by how pleased you were when she took the sexual initiative.

You can both benefit from that.

Thanks all so far, pretty good replies, has merrit, as far as the romantic outings go we haven't had the lit dinner for many a long time, however we do go out and eat out together quite often and I believe Iam always trying to help her with all house hold stuff as well, I am not a lazy bum, I am still reasonably fit having just stopped coaching league for 17 years and Iam currently renovating a property with her, she has always said that she doesn't ever even take care of her own sexual urges as she doesn't get any hardly, she also states to me that she can turn her 'switch on or off' when ever she wants to??
We socially drink together and have a meal together each week, I realise that what you are saying is that maybe Iam not flicking the correct switch with her' and you are probably correct, but I have tried lots of things over the last 3 years [ I am a Leo // shes a Scorpio and I can't kick a goal ie. fantasies, bondage, youyer, she has no interest whats so ever, I thought about getting a stripper for her up coming birthday but I would probably get in the ****' for that one.

As I stated I have been with her for 35 years and every time I try to probe her personally she just puts a wall up and won't talk about anything to do with sex, so the strange behaviour to me seems stranger again !!Wink

Her use of the ipad seems excessive, especially when it's right in front of you.

Why not just say, "Hey babe, I notice you spend a lot of time on that thing. Anything I need to know about how interested you are in it? What's gotten your attention. I'd like some of that attention . . ."

Who knows, she might be looking up things for your re-hab project.

YOU really do need to ask.

Hi to posters,

I have had a talk with my wife and explained what I felt as Punkey suggested and we will see how we go, she say's she will use ipads/iphones less around me and she is not into anything, so I guess it's out there now and we will see how things go, we might make 36 years after all Wink
