I (f28) literally just found email after email from my husband (m33) to his ex girlfriend (f25). They've been divorced for over a year, but they're clearly still talking and my husband might be back in love with her. I'm lost on what to do.

My husband (let's call him Michael) and I have been married for almost 3 years now. We're happy together, as far as I know.<br><br>Last night, I logged onto his laptop because I needed to print something out for him and I didn't want to waste ink and paper from my own laptop. It's something he does all the time too, so I didn't think it would be a big deal.<br><br>As soon as I logged on, I noticed his old college email account was logged in. I've never actually seen his college email before, so I got a little curious and clicked on it.<br><br>It was completely innocent until I saw his spam mailbox, and it was FILLED with emails from his ex girlfriend. They were all from the same subject line and in reading through them, I realized it's a group email thread where they're just talking. I saw the first email was from September of last year, and the last one was from a few days ago. It was enough where I actually pulled out my phone and took pictures of them.<br><br>They're just talking, but it looks like they're talking about a lot. They're talking about Michael's hobby, their jobs, friends they have in common, all of that. And they seem to be talking often, if not daily. I'm not sure how to feel about it, and I'm not even sure how to bring it up to Michael. I know he's divorced from her and they've been over for a while now, but something about it just feels wrong.<br><br>I tried to see if I could look any deeper, like into his sent box, but all of his emails are connected to his Microsoft account, which is a million times more protected than his browser. I would literally need his password for that.<br><br>I confronted him this morning and he just got super quiet and eventually got up and left. I haven't seen him since and he's not answering my calls or texts.<br><br>I'm starting to feel really, really unhappy. I don't know what's going on and at the same time, everything feels like it's over. I don't even know where to go from here. I've been trying to get advice from friends and they're all saying the same thing, that this is so wrong.<br><br>I'm seeing a theme of "he's probably still in love with her and the two of them are going to get back together soon enough." I really, really don't want that to happen. I love Michael so much, more than anyone else in my life. But I just don't even know what to say or do at this point.
