She lied so he should steal?

I think the issue here goes beyond the OP just wanting to find out the dirty details.

I believe that it is a good idea to go into the account so he can print off evidence for his impending divorce proceedings. This will be good when the wife begins with the unreasonable financial demands.

exactly...we are splitting all our money and selling the house and she is evetually moving in with this other guy. I need to make sure everything she is telling me is consistent.

slim,

I am sorry to hear of your misfortune. I know that a revelation like this from someone who you have trusted is devastating. You want to hurt her. You don't care who you hurt, you just want to lash out in retribution for the pain that you feel. You want to know every detail, who is he, what does he do, why does she need him when she has you, what do they talk about, everything.

Stop it. Just stop it right now. Forget about her email. If she leaves her computer unattended with the email logged in don't read it. If she prints them out and hands them to you don't read them. You'll just be torturing yourself, and this is the time when you need to be at your best, not your worst.

It's her. You are not deficient in some meaningful way. You are not flawed. She chose to lie to you because of her. Now make sure that you do not waste time lying to yourself.

Thank you for the good advice. Nobody really knows how painful it is until it happens to them especially when you are completely unsuspecting.

Agree completely. This isn't the way to go about it. Talk to the attorney today about this. OP, you may have no right to break into your wife's email account, and if you do, ALL OF IT it may wind up getting thrown out in court because of those actions.

DON'T do something like that to jeopardize your case. A good attorney will know how to handle this.

Sorry to hear about your tough situation. I agree with amplify...don't let her get you down.

Excellent post Amp.

I would add that OP should try to begin the next phase of his life right now. Obsessing about her emails isn't going to help him move on. Get a lawyer, part ways with the broad, and start thinking about what he wants to do with his freedom.

OP will have to work hard not to become mired in anger and self pity. He has a blank slate now. He should try to enjoy it.

If you use Firefox, go to tools > options > security > show passwords

If she's ever asked Firefox to remember any passwords, they are in there.

For anybody who didn't know this, set a master password in Firefox if you ever allow anyone else to use your computer.

How is this stealing? Will he be using her printer paper to make the print-outs?

That being said, I have no idea if the emails would be admissible in court, but it sure wouldn't hurt to have them just in case they are.

I have no legal expertise, but if emails are evidence you should be able to get them through legal channels instead of hacking her account.

if you post the emails here i will help you.
