Found Dating Sites on Search Engine Bar

I once typed in Homo in the google search and a bunch of gay stuff immediately popped up, I was actually researching Homogenized Milk..

So do not be so quick to think poorly of him.

These dating sites pop up on my Facebook page, when I use google or yahoo to search and even when I play "Words with Friends" and I have been happily married for 37 years. These dating sites just pop up. Don't blow this out of proportion --do you have other problems or reasons to believe he is on dating sites? If you go to the History (that is on a mac and I guess a PC would have a similar file across the top) you can look at all the sites that have been opened. As someone suggested, if it is erased, you can probably get a computer geek to help you.

Oh gees..... Any typo could lead to a misleading site.

Do you not have open communication with each other? gees... i cant imagine living a life where I had to snoop to figure out my relationship.

PLEASE.... Just communicate with your hubby and don't assume the worst.

Haven't you ever googled and ended up with a site you were not interested in?

There's more to the story here.

ETA: I can't believe you are being prompted to go on an all out snooping of everything he owns. Really? If you can't trust him, leave him. I get the gist that this issue belongs to your insecurities. Have you ever thought about communication between each other?

I go to a dating site every now and then. Why? Because my best friend, who is divorced has started dating and is using a dating site. She calls me and asks me to check out this guy or that guy's profile and give her an opinion. While I'm there I look around, just out of curiosity. So visiting a dating site in itself isn't a problem. If he was setting up dates that would be a problem.

if you can't believe him and assume he's lying all the time, then there's really nothing he can do to 'prove' to you that he's not. it sounds as if you will only accept proof of cheating.
so save yourself the hassle and assume he is.

Before you jump to conclusions, I constantly get pop up windows from Match.com.

Check the actual history on the computer. If it's on there, make a print out of the history and show it to him.

Best wishes!

A little clarification, you were using Google (or other search engine) looking for something and it auto-filled a dating service? Search engines try to guess what you are looking for before you are looking on it and will offer up frequently searched for or visited sites of all of it's users, not just those in your household. This does not mean your husband went to one or was even searching one.
If that's not what you mean.
You can look up the browsing history that will show you all the sites visited in that browser. If he went to a dating site it would be there unless he cleared the history.

Why are you so eager to find out? Has he given you reason to not trust him? I am a happily married woman, and I have gone on them. I haven't enrolled/signed up or anything, but yeah.. I've looked at them through curiosity. Did you know there's one out there specifically for farmers? uh huh. It could have been curiosity, or type-o or any number of things. Keep this on the down low and keep your eyes and ears open and just watch. See if it pops up again, etc... but don't crucify the guy before you know for sure.

Check the search history and print.

Well, you could check the history of your PC. If that has been cleared, see if you can locate the cookie information on it... That information is saved even when the history is cleared, especially for sites that require and may store user names and passwords.
(I'm not sure how to do that on a PC though...)

Be prepared...are you looking for trouble? Has your husband given you ANY reason NOT to trust him? If he will deny - then it sounds like your marriage is a "parental" marriage instead of a TEAM. He sees you more like a mother to him instead of a partner.

So if you want to know....

Go to your "history" section and pull down all history....

You can do it for one day, week, month, "forever"...if your husband is aware of what he is doing? He can easily clear the history. If he isn't? Then you can see each and every web page he has gone to.

You do realize that a dating site could have turned up due to a key-word search he did - and that name was in there.

Be prepared for what you might find.....

I would STRONGLY suggest marriage counseling for the two of you. You are obviously feeling like you can't trust him...so this will lead to you prying into his e-mail, cell-phone, and before you know it? You will be tracking his mileage every day...

Good luck!

Go to the Geek Squad and ask them to show you how to see what sites have been accessed on the computer. Then you will know.

If he will just deny no matter what, sounds like you two need to go to counseling.

I don't know if it matters or not, but, I get things on my search engine bars all the time. I know I didn't go to those sites, but they pop up anyway. I guess that you think he is cheating on you? or trying to? Maybe see if you can have an open conversation about how you are feeling, and when this came up it made you feel concerned and see if you can have an open dialogue about the two of you and how you can work on building a closer relationship.

If you do want to look at the history go to internet options and then go to cookies or saved passwords and it will tell you where the computer has been.

Check his phone texts, pictures, videos and email accounts. But just be ready for what you might find. Good luck.

I wouldn't worry too much about the dating site on the search bar because it might have been accidental. He might have downloaded something else and it put tabs on the search bar. Google the name of the dating site and something like search engine bar and see if anyone is complaining about it appearing on search bars. I would look into other things like the internet history. There are probably other clues too. Unlike the last person who posted, I believe that if you see something like this, you should look into it more closely.

Sometimes, typing in a search topic brings up everything that starts with the same letters. So if a "legitimate" site had the same first word, it could be innocent.

A qualified computer tech can determine whether the site was actually visited, and how many times. But that involves a little more than you may have in mind.

I agree with Osohapi about checking everything else - text messages, emails etc., and also the credit card bills to see if he paid for any kind of membership or other materials that are suspect. Go to the dating site and see if he set up and account and did a profile. You can do a "screen grab" and basically take a picture of what you see on the screen so that you have proof even if he deletes the info later on. Do this a couple of times over a period of weeks so that you know whether you are dealing with a pattern or a one-time indiscretion. I'm not excusing "one time" but suggesting you will be better off with good details and evidence.

Good luck and I hope it turns out to be nothing.

Hard to say. It could be innocent typos, or it could be a huge red flag. What are some of the examples? Could they have been links mistakenly clicked on? I know I click things on accident all the time, but I don't know if that'd save in the search bar of my browser.
