What is stalking in relationship
What is stalking in a relationship? It's when a partner constantly tracks, monitors, or controls what their spouse is doing, usually without their knowledge or consent. Instead of being curious or concerned, stalking is driven by jealousy, insecurity, or a need to stay in control.
If your husband is stalking you, he could be:
- Checking your phone, tracking your location, installing spyware, or demanding access to your accounts.
- Sending you non-stop text messages or calls demanding updates of where you are and who you're with.
- Showing up at work or social events.
- Keeping tabs on what you post and who you interact with on social media.
Stalking isn't the same as being possessive. Sure—possessiveness can be unhealthy. However, stalking really crosses the line and makes you feel scared, stressed, trapped, and socially isolated.
Did you know?
Can a spouse be charged with stalking? They can be in most countries. For instance, stalking is illegal in all states and territories in the USA. Spouses are not exempt from stalking laws just because they're married.
Installing monitoring software or other tracking tools is among the most common ways partners track their spouses. If you think your husband is stalking you, install Clario Anti Spy on your phone.

How to know if your husband stalks you
If you feel like your husband is always watching or monitoring you, keep an eye out for common warning signs.
Here are the signs of a husband stalking his wife:
- He knows where you've been—even if you never told him. He could be tracking your phone, car, or using hidden GPS devices.
- He insists on checking your phone, email, or social media. He might demand your passwords, install spyware, or constantly check your search history.
- He pops up unexpectedly. Whether it's at work or a friend's house, he always seems to show up.
- He questions your every move. A little jealousy is normal, but being interrogative or suspicious all the time is not.
- You spot him following you. You may notice him driving by your work, showing up where you are, or watching you from a distance.
- He guilts or manipulates you to get information. For instance, he might pressure you into sharing your location or sending photos to prove where you are.
What to do if your husband is stalking you
If you believe your husband might be stalking you, quickly taking action can help you protect your safety and privacy.
Here's what to do if your husband stalks you:
- Secure your devices. Check your phone, tablet, and computer for suspicious apps. Reset your passwords, turn off location sharing, and review app permissions. If you can, use a separate, more secure device—learn how someone can track your location with your phone number.
- Check for trackers. Look through your car, purse, and personal items for hidden GPS trackers or listening devices.
- Document everything. Keep track of anything suspicious—screenshots, texts, call logs, and notes about where and when he shows up unexpectedly. Store this somewhere safe.
- Set boundaries. Be careful about sharing your location, plans, or daily schedule. Let trusted friends or family know what's going on so they can help.
- Get support: Confronting a stalker, even if it's your husband, can be dangerous. Instead, reach out to a domestic violence expert or a therapist to figure out what you should do next.
- Get a restraining order. If you think you are at risk of physical harm, contact law enforcement or a domestic violence organization immediately. A restraining order may legally prevent him from contacting or approaching you.
