If he is doing it through ARD, firstly he has to have a second Mac to do so, and secondly you can disable Remote Desktop on your computer by going into System Preferences>Sharing and unchecking Remote Management. If he does have another Mac and that option is enabled on your Mac, that is probably how he is doing it, as it is unchecked by default. Given that you are resetting Safari, though, it is much more likely that he is using the router.
A couple of days of tracing one's ways through Olympic figure skaters' blogs will bring any heterosexual man to his knees.

Not that heterosexual, if he's getting to his knees
You suppose you deserve it?
Tolerating being monitored without complaint is the least you can do. By breaking his trust you forfeited your right to privacy.
You'll eventually get used to it. Ever see that show Big Brother? People forget about the cameras after a couple of days.
You'll live.
um wtf??
no husbands have NO right to spy on wives or vice versa
forfeited right to privacy? who are you? seriously..
I agree. No one has any right to monitor what anyone is doing. But I can see this from the other side of the fence as well.
My ex cheated on me multiple times via the computer. First it was lies that I caught on to, then I started noticing any time I would walk into the room, the screen would change quickly (he sat with the computer facing the opposite way of the door). The colors on the wall gave it all away.
I sniffed his instant messenger traffic and caught wind of a hookup he arranged.
Needless to say we're no longer together - and I've never spied on anyone else... but at the time, I felt it was justified.
At any rate, she definitely does not deserve to be spied on if she has done nothing wrong. I hope buttercup can talk to him about this and tell him how things are. I think confrontation rather than circumvention is the best course.
Could not disagree more with this post
In fact, it angers me more than most stuff I read in the PRSI
Woof, Woof - Dawg

Third party Safari Plugin
Even if you browse using private mode and your husband didn't install any spying soft, third party Safari plugins (such as Adobe Flash) store browsing information that your beloved husband can spy on. Flash stores these "cookies" in Library/Preferences/Macromedia. You can nuke this folder after finishing your browsing session (if you visited flash based porn sites ).

).Instead of playing IT detective to determine whether or not he is or isn't spying on you, why don't you just have an open and honest conversation and tell him how you feel?
The two of you need to have a serious discussion about this because in the end neither of you will win and your relationship will suffer if you don't. You're going to get tired of resetting the router and he's going to get tired of trying to track your every move.
You're well on your way to a miserable marriage or divorce if this is how the two of you solve your differences. Hopefully the two of you can nip this spy game in the bud quickly.
