Marriage Almost Destroyed by Unknown Phone Number

If this story of a distressed wife worrying over strange calls and the behavior of her husband rings true to you, then follow the steps she takes for similar results, and worry no more, one way or the other.

Your instincts are telling you something is wrong. Your husband has changed recently. You can’t quite pinpoint what exactly it is, but it’s there, subtle and just below the surface. His mood has changed. He alternates between being overly cheerful, often when just returning home from somewhere, to being cranky and morose when in your company for long stretches of time. He changed his appearance recently, and seems to put more effort into maintaining it than he has in years.

His schedule has changed as well. He’s suddenly getting more hours at work, though this doesn’t seem to be reflected in his pay stubs. Speaking of stubs, there was that movie stub you found in his pants pocket last week for an evening show. He was supposed to be working that night. And since when does your husband watch romantic comedies?

Most glaring of all though are the phone calls. He seems to get them at home all the time now. He says they’re work related, as he retreats to a private area of the house to discuss business, but you snuck up on his den and listened in, and they sure don’t sound like business calls. He laughs and carries on in a hushed whisper, and did he just say “I miss you?”

This is too much. Your suspicions have come to the fore, and are now deep seeded in your mind. The roots grow deeper with each passing day, until it completely flowers and throws you into a tizzy. You have to get to the bottom of this. But how?

It’s late. Your husband is snoring contentedly beside you. He must be having a pleasant dream, but about whom you wonder? You quietly throw the covers off, and swing your legs over the side of the bed. Putting your slippers on, you pad silently over to his side of the bed, and pull open the top drawer of his nightstand. His little silver cell phone is barely visible, glinting slightly in the light of the moon.

You pad silently to the bedroom door and leave the room. You retreat downstairs to the living room and beginning searching through the numbers listed in his phone. You recognize most of them, but a few are foreign to you. You mark those numbers down and go over to the computer and turn it on.

After logging in, you head to http://www.cellphoneregistry.org/, and input the strange numbers into both sites. The results are the same. All of the numbers seem harmless except one. That phone number, the one which seemed to come up the most on your husband’s cell phone, is owned by a woman, 35 years old and living in the same town as you.

You silently thank such sites for allowing you to identify unknown phone number personal records, and turn the computer off. Returning to bed, the doubts in your mind have now been washed away, replaced instead with a quiet resolve. Your husband is going to have some seriously explaining to do in the morning.
