I would raise he!!. That's beyond suspious... What friend does he even have in Singapore? Any way you can check to see he's actually there? Have there been any other signs?

That would definitely make me suspicious. Did he show you the full message that friend sent? And why is friend even sending him the price of jewelry in Singapore? And if it's in his gallery, why did he save the picture? 

A lot of unanswered questions. 

Honestly, if I saw a jewelry receipt less than 2 weeks from mother's day- I would have thought I was getting a present. Who's name was on the receipt? Was it the friend that is visiting? 

I don't know if affair was quite where to jump on this one. It really could just be his friend showing him a great deal he got. There are some amazing deals overseas.

I think a friend just telling me how much jewelry is in Singapore would be sufficient (and who cares, anyway?), no need to send me a copy of the receipt. And, why would he save the picture?

Maybe he's buying something for you?

Keep us posted.

I would pretend to believe him and act like everything has gone back to normal, buuuut I would also become hyper aware of everything going on in your relationship.  The best thing to do when finding info like this is to hold onto it and figure things out before confronting him.  It could be something or it could be nothing.  If it's nothing then he feels like you don't trust him. If it is something, now he knows to cover his tracks better.  

has a connection with his EX. CS is one thing, his kids have to be supported.  Buy exter money for vacations, and gifts is a big RED flag and a NO,NO.  Time to separate your money from your DH money so your money doesn’t go to his EX.  Or he out of money because of giving his EX money, then wants you to buy thing 

If you have a copy of the receipt, why don't you phone the store and asked if they remember who bought it?
Say you are an accountant from x-company processing travel expense claims...

It isn't good to be so suspicious or have a lack of trust, but being sneaky sometimes helps.

The day I feel like I have to snoop through DH's emails is the day I leave.

And no, it's not OK just because you are his wife. 

day and I could see lots and lots and lots of emails from someone named Amy. I clicked on one. And it was detailing Bj's in a hotel room . Am I sorry I snooped ? Nope . Not at all. I am so glad I sniped and I will never ever apologize for snooping. Needless to say I then forwarded all the emails from Amy and there were years worth . And from other women . Strangers on the internet he was having unprotected sex with . Let me tell you there is nothing like being 7 months pregnant and having to get aids tested and the full vd panel done cause you have no idea if your philandering husband has given you and your unborn baby a communicable disease . I was happy and in love and really no suspicions but I left that day and was at divorce lawyers by Monday. Cheating is unacceptable to me. Trust but verify. 

I wouldn't snoop. I'd outright tell him what I planned on doing.

"DH, either show me the text from your friend about this being jewelry he purchased, or tell me the truth. I've already looked at our credit card statement and phone records, and have a pretty good idea what is going on."

Either own up that you snooped and have a reason to be suspicious, AND have a plan of action for the outcome, or don't snoop. Would I automatically be suspicious if my DH bought jewelry around a holiday? No. I would be if after the holiday I nor any of his family received jewelry. Then I would gather my intel, tell him what I saw and hace proof of, and let him explain himself.

Basically, don't snoop to snoop. I don't go out of my way to snoop, but I handle our finances and know when something is awry. I know how much money DH should have, and if he's short, I have no problem calling him on it. And I have no problem finding answers if he can't provide a solid reasoning. I also have no qualms with walking away if he lies to me about it.

So, don't stew over it. Act on it. You have already accused him of cheating, so either believe he isn't or find proof that he is. Don't just sit and second guess yourself. You've started down the rabbit hole; figure out where it leads.

ETA: If my snooping proved to be incorrect, I would assume my DH would be MIGHTILY annoyed with me, and would likely think I was constantly snooping on him (partially because, if I caught him being sneaky on a present, it would be the stars aligning that I'd stumble across a surprise since he doesn't do surprises). The hurt to trust goes both ways, and I could see my DH wanting couples counseling or something else to repair what would now be his broken trust and hurt feelings.

That is why one shouldn't snoop, or if they do snoop, better damn well know what is going on. Otherwise, while you may have felt like your trust was violated over what could be a totally innocent exchange, your spouse will feel hurt that you didn't trust them enough in the first place to not snoop.

It's one thing you stumble on emails detailing sexual encounters. It's another to find a suspicious-but-possibly-innocent photo. If you go in guns blazing with no back up, you're potentially going to cause a lot of harm.

MsVee, is your husband the type to cheat? Have you had suspicions before?

If I found a receipt for jewelry, I would never suspect my husband is cheating. Is is SO not the type. I'd suspect something weird, but not that he's cheating. Only you know if your husband is that type.

I say don't bring up the receipt again. Just keep your eyes open and keep checking his phone, but don't bring it up to him. He will cover his tracks if he knows you're looking. So play it cool and calm and investigate what's happening before you confront him again.

And remember...there's a good chanc he's not cheating. Don't turn a good thing bad unless YOU KNOW FOR SURE!

PS: I always wanted to go to Malaysia...those islands look so gorgeous! And I intend to replace ALL my stolen jewelry when I get there!!!!!
