Why does his Google history show he was at an industrial estate at night

Last night I was on Dh’s phone-not snooping…initially at least. I was turning lullaby music off that he and our dc had fallen asleep to.
It showed the travel history of where he’d been/been driving etc. I just thought it was quite interesting at first, don’t think I have it on my phone or if I do, no idea how to access it! I started looking and it was all pretty boring-travel to work, certain shops, cafes etc, a friends house. One entry from last Sunday shows him going out in the evening driving for 30 minutes, it says here no location/location not shown. Then from around 10.30-11.30 pm, it shows a location and when I looked at it, it’s an industrial estate. This is really strange isn’t it?! Making me so paranoid, what would you make of it?

If someone looked at my Google location history they'd be mystified because I often go to sit in the car by myself just for an introvert break.

I like to park somewhere quiet so I'm not disturbed or looked at as a weirdo.

I meditate, listen to audiobooks, or even just scroll on my phone.

Does this place have a nice view? Even in the dark? Sometimes if I’ve had a rough day with the kids (mine are older now) I might just sit in the car looking at the view for a bit and breathe, then go home and face the music lol. Could be listening to a podcast?

If he has never been into drugs, then I'd probably rule that out. If it was weed you'd smell it on his clothes. Are other drugs likely?
If that was my OH it would more likely be a case of getting out of the house and going for a drive. He gets random ideas, like "let's go and see what the new housing estate looks like" , or "my old sxhool mate had a shop down the old trading estate, let's see if it's still there." So, I can imagine him doing this without me too. Don't get too anxious about it. Coukd you not ask him where he went that night as you moticed he had gone out?

Where I Live there is a brothel In a local industrial estate. So that's where my mind first went

It struck me as a bit strange when you said he goes to a couples house for a chat. Are you sure because that's not something my hubby would ever do. I think you need to confirm that tbh. As for the industrial estate my first thought was prostitute. You need to do some more digging. Check his messages and emails.

I find it very strange that you think that's a bit strange.

@whyhavetheygotsomany He doesn’t sit and chat with her, but they’re still friends, we’re both friends with them

It could be his phone logged an inaccurate location ?
I have an iPhone and it often does that. When on holiday in Greece last month it was saying I also visited Turkey and Croatia 💁🏻‍♀️

Poor bloke. Just wanted to nip to the Netherlands to share a kebab with a furry prostitute while watching a dog fight, and he's got all this suspicion on him.

OperationGoldenDawn · 07/07/2024 21:29

Industrial espionage ? @Nachosanddips

thecatsarecrazy · 07/07/2024 21:27

He met someone off fab swingers

LorraLorraShite · 07/07/2024 21:13

Mine says I frequently go to Portsmouth and Southampton....I haven't been to either.

Haha! This!

On such scant info, the amount of people that leaped to ‘defo a prostitute’ is not normal!

Show quote history

Not necessarily! I can imagine there are quite a few of us here who learned their now exes were seeing prostitutes. It is from experience.

Ok so the industrial area, as it only happened once, among other data pojnts, in data speak is an outlier.

so a one off not to worry. however I get it. you are wondering if it is a pattern.

you have 2, or rather 3 options:

  1. ask him about it. Yet be prepared to be confronted as to why you know. risk putting trust at risk over one data point.
  2. check again a few times over the next few months and see if there is a pattern. if so, there is your answer. you do not need to confront him, as the most important thing is this question: does this work for YOU? and if it does not, make plans to leave. because no matter what he says, you will feel otherwise
  3. say nothing at all, erase this from your mind and move on

I've surmised from this thread that:
1 - Posters think stalking is perfectly acceptable and not creepy in the slightest
2 - there's a secret Mumsnet Furry community
3 - some of you spend far too much time listening to true crime podcasts
4 - some of you know far too much about prostitution for it not to be insider knowledge
5 - you're all batshit crazy

To point 4: I can imagine there are quite a few of us here who discovered our sweet DP/DH were seeing prostitutes. Count me as one for sure. We know the shady behavior as we sadly experienced it.

ilikecatsandponies · 07/07/2024 20:33

Or maybe he was driving and he took an interesting or important phone call and needed to park up somewhere safe to concentrate on the call, if his hands free isn't very good.

ilikecatsandponies · 07/07/2024 20:31

The only thing I can think of that you'd do for in an industrial estate for an hour is interval training. Maybe he met a friend for a run?

WirelessWendy · 07/07/2024 20:24

I have just checked my data for today. It says I was home all afternoon. I was not; I was at a friend’s house a mile away.

Garlickest · 07/07/2024 19:52

On reading this thread, I've turned my location and history on for the first time. I never go anywhere (disability) so am hoping Google gives me a more exciting life 😂

Delatron · 07/07/2024 19:51

It’s just not reliable. Often it has my DS still in the middle of a busy road. I panic thinking he’s been run over. Then it shows him in the river…! I’ve stopped using google tracker or whatever we have.

Use your gut instinct and don’t get wound up by comments on here. You know your DH.
