I had suspicions that my boyfriend had cheated on me with his ex just before she went travelling... woman intuition i guess... about a month after she had left he announced that he was going to the “clinic” as we were in a new relationship. This further fuelled my suspicions although I had no proof.

Ed was staying with me for a while until he got a place sorted to live so used my computer. I knew that he had emailed his ex a few times so decided I was going to do my best to crack his password. This was the only way to find out.

So I sifted through the mountain of emails between them... and finally I found what I was looking for “please can you go and get a test done... I think you have given me something from sleeping with the tart” - who is she to call me a tart when she was the one who had slept with my boyfriend?

I went mad - I phoned him, told him it was over then hung up. For about a week after I tried to convince him that I had heard things from our friends (all my girl friends were friends with his friends) and that I wasn’t stupid and that I had had enough. He denied this implicity.

After being mad I thought it was time to get even. So I logged into his email account and sent both him and his ex-girlfriend an email, copy and pasting things that had been written in their emails – basically telling him how shit he was and how she was the tart... they don’t speak any more and he can’t belive I got one over on him...

Oh the power of modern technology!
