A friend of mine told me a funny story about how he accidentally spent almost an hour looking at the hook-up ads on Craigslist (it was funny when he told it, my re-telling won't be). He was reading the "Best Of", which are sometimes pretty funny, and decided to see what the want ads were, since there were some very strange ones in the "Best Of". He said that some of them were so bizarre/disturbing that he became fascinated and could not stop reading. I think he was fairly creeped out by what some people will post on Craigslist. I almost wanted to go read some myself, just to find out if it was as bad as he said; but, I couldn't do it.
You fiance may have stumbled upon them the same way and read them for the same reason. If he has never given you any reason to doubt him, I wouldn't consider this reason to do so now.

I read them too, about once a year when I'm bored and happen onto them. Most people probably read them more often than that.
Before the internet put the cabosh on newspaper classified ads, the personals was one of the most popular sections in a newspaper. (I'm a former daily newspaper publisher.) It's entertaining. It's funny. It's also educational. A very, very small percentage of those who read that kind of stuff act on it.
It's been a year or two since I've read that section of Craigslist. I think I'll go read it now.
I've read them myself out of curiosity. You know him better than we do but I wouldn't make too much of it. Why not just ask him? I would.
Keep in mind that men always deny, deny, deny even when caught red-handed. Be sure to look him in the eye when you ask about it. Body language doesn't lie.
Well I found out because I was posting a couch of ours on craigslist and i saw that where he clicked was in purple so I followed it and looked at the ads he looked at. He didnt post anything.
From what I've read it's hard to tell.
One forum site I sometimes visit has what they call the "Craigslist Monster of the Day" featuring a female that wants sex or a relationship. I always click to check it out, as would 99% of males on CD, just to see what is there. Just because I look doesn't mean I am looking for outside sex.
Then I see other ads I'd look.... not looking for outside sex just looking.
In my mind what matters is how often does he look? If it is every day you got a problem if it's every few months or so he could be looking at monsters like I do.
OK, I'd check the browser history and the cache. That will show you how much time he put into it and what he did. I have no qualms with double-checking my investment. I also know I'd wonder about it enough that it's best to just know. I'd also make jokes about it to gauge the reaction.
I've read personals elsewhere (not craigslist) for entertainment - absolutely no sincere interest. I've never understood the personals - the need to post them or the desire to meet someone through them - so for me, it's just a dark fascination... what people write about themselves, what they reveal and don't, how they say it, etc.
