How many of you, hired a Private Investigator to go after your X to catch him cheating? I heard 28% of females hire a PI to catch their man in action. I have never heard anyone I know do this, but I wondered if any of you have? And if you did, did you catch him?

Not only did I not, neither did anyone I know. In fact, I wouldn't even know how to go about hiring a PI. I figure if I don't trust someone so much that I feel I need to investigate there whereabouts, I should spend the money I would have spent on a PI on a divorce lawyer.
Whether my spouse actually did anything or not, if I don't trust him, I shouldn't be married to him.

I guess I am lucky that I have never had a cheating ex ever. But I do have a friend who had a cheating exh and she did send a PI after him to confirm it. Part of her reasoning was financial since a lot of money was disappearing. She ended up having a very ugly divorce.

Ditto with Moody.... I never have, and I've never heard of anyone hiring a PI.


Adding in my two cents.. I guess we're up to four cents?

I knew my ex was cheating but I did not hire an investigator to find out. If I did I could have used adultery as a reason for my divorce. I did not want my kids to feel that
the reason for our divorce was because their Dad was not faithful. He is still seeing the
woman he was having a affiar when we were married. We have been divorced now for 2 years and he has been seeing her for over five years now

I didn't have to - she was pregnant. But the adultery didn't matter anyway because neither one of us has much extra money and the courts in my state don't really care.
