Have you ever hired a private detective to check on your SO's movements? If yes, what prompted you to do it, and were you glad you did?

This question was inspired by an incident in the movie Unfaithful. Do see it if you haven't.

    No. I do my own detective work. Anytime I've felt compelled to check on a SO, my suspicions were validated. There are certain behavior traits that someone who is guilty of something exhibits. With my most recent one, he was always on his phone playing games. When he started shutting off his phone when I came in the room and "protecting" the phone by tucking it under his pillow at night, it became kind of obvious I wasn't supposed to see what he was doing. The one before that, I already had a good idea that he had been cheating and with whom. He told me most nights when he was going to see her and he blew off some kind of family event to spend the day with her and her family once, but I think he said he got called into work or something. Then, photos of him with her child got posted to Facebook that night. Duh. Truth be told, catching that one was probably a relief for both of us.

    My baby is as good as gold; monogamy and fidelity are in her DNA.

    If I didn't trust her, she wouldn't be my SO. Simple as that.
