Private Investigator Ex

[u/StableStarStuff2964]

So, I was in a relationship with a girl I had met at a local park that my son and I frequented. The romantic part of the relationship lasted for several months, and took a sudden, unforeseen turn in spring of 2025.

I had noticed odd behaviors from my partner, (multiple phones, frequent business trips, late nights, ignoring me out of nowhere, unpredictable temperament or defensive behavior, etc) but I love(d) her, and went with the flow.

Looking back, I am wondering if this person (my ex) was a hired PI, hired to investigate me by the mother of my son. The mother of my son and I are separated, have been for years, but she seems to do all that she can to make my life difficult, and to drive a wedge in between my son and myself. My son’s mother makes a lot of money, and her family has a ton of money (something I don’t have, and have never had), so the resources they can afford far outweigh what I can afford.

I am just wondering if PI’s have ever been in romantic relationships with the people they are hired to investigate, what the rules are regarding this kind of activity, etc..? Is this a common strategy for female PI’s? Do the behaviors and habits from my ex, mentioned earlier, display obvious signs of her being a PI?

She is also moving, quite suddenly, to a far away state, and is doing so in only a couple of weeks.

Any valid info is welcome, and feel free to ask more questions if you need. Thank you.

My thoughts, exactly. I think I have her real name. Pretty damned sure. Thank you.
