You should never have to be in the position of having to retrieve deleted texts from your spouse's cell phone. A marriage is built on trust and if that foundation gets shaken, then the relationship becomes difficult and maybe even impossible.
Cell phones, for all the good they have done us, have made cheating easier than it ever was before. No hang-ups at home, no strange numbers on the phone bill. And with text messages, a press of a button gets rid of the evidence forever.
Or so most people think.
The truth is that when you're dealing with computer technology, and the modern cell phone is nothing but a tiny computer in a fancy wrapper, just deleting something doesn't mean that it's gone. You can retrieve deleted texts, undelete pics and get the proof that you need that something is going on.

When you delete something, you're essentially telling the phone that it is okay to write over that with something else. But that doesn't mean that deleted cell phone text messages are gone.

The very first thing you need to do is get an idea of whether there actually is anything to retrieve. You first need to look for patterns of behavior. Is your wife denying she received texts when you're fairly sure she did? Has she recently started deleting all her texts when she used to let them go? Is she going away to text?
If have a good reason to suspect that your wife is delete things from her cell phone in order to hide things from you, then there are things you can do. A data recovery specialist well versed in cell phone forensics can retrieve deleted texts.
All you need to do is send the cell phone to one of these specialist companies and they will get you the information you need to get the peace of mind you want and deserve. You shouldn't have to be in this position, but you don't have to take it.
