Most people feel that snooping is bad but if moving forward to a better life requires proof that there are (or hopefully aren't) things going on behind your back, there is no other way. The following is a good first step if you are suspicious about your partner's activity but don't have much to go on. After you decide that your findings look suspicious you're going to want to see exactly what they're doing and who they are doing it with. For that you might want to invest in some spy software.

Things you can do on your own:

Check their browser history: This will tell you what sites they were on and when.

View->Explorer Bar->View History (or just CTRL+H):

Checking Browser History

In the History section, you will see
a list of sites they went to:

You can sort the history section anyway you like.

Sort History Section

4. You can even search for keywords. Interestingly, I
have found things that weren't on the list this way.

Searching for Keywords

5. Double click on the site name and a list of pages visited on
that site will appear.

List of Pages Visited

Right click on the page you want to examine. You can find out when they were on the page by clicking on Properties.

Examining Pages

7. This is the display you get after clicking on Properties.

Properties Display

If there is a History icon on the browser click it or just hit CTRL +H.  If neither of the above works for you go to the top bar - select Tasks->Tools->History. (On older versions: Communicator>Tools>History) To sort history to View for all sorting options.

 

To search histories go to Edit-> search or hit CTRL+F.

Search Histories

If they are deleting their history: You can still find out what they are doing by checking the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. This folder holds cookies and graphics picked up while surfing. 

Go to C: /Windows/Temporary Internet Files From View on the top bar select Details to display the folder contents as I have in them the below graphic:

Temporary Internet Files

Clicking the tabs above the contents lets you sort the folder anyway you want. To see sites visited in chronological order sort by "Last Modified".
