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

Out of interest, after reading this thread, my DH and I looked through his Google history to see if he had anything weird on there (I have mine turned off).

Apparently on Monday he spent 45 minutes at a Premier Inn, at a location 3.5hrs away from our home. Looks pretty suspicious.

We were on holiday together and I was with him at the time. We walked past a Premier Inn on the opposite side of the road, without even pausing.

Google location history definitely isn't reliable!

I suspect we shall never find out what the secret squirrel was up to....

Haha! This!

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

I do think you should ask yourself why you snooped on his location history in the first place. Your posts suggest you are kind of nonchalant and just came across it while on his phone for another reason. Sorry but you definitely went snooping

If you went looking because you have a feeling he’s up to something he shouldn’t (for whatever reason), you need to be honest with yourself about that.

Im not totally against snooping if you have good reason to believe somethings up. it’s not as if cheating is a rare phenomenon. I’ve done it myself and was proven to be right.

Drugs

Can you ask around locally (friends, locals, call an estate agent?) if that area is known for something in particular. Pretend a friend had asked you or you’re considering a business there or some other made up excuse. When I was looking for a house several locals warned me against a particular area due to prostitution.

I have Family Link on my phone to track my kids. On occasion, it'll tell me one or the other of them has "left school" and their phone will be in a location fairly nearby.

I don't know why it does this, they've never left school once they've been there (yes, I have called and the receptionist has literally trotted down to check!)

Honestly if it's for an hour, it's far more likely to be that. No man has enough get up and go to spend a singular hour driving to an out of the way place to go dogging or to see a prostituted woman. Well, not unless he's previously done things like that. Or maybe he's nipped out for a Big Mac in peace but doesn't want you to know as you're dieting because you've just had a baby? (I say this because I caught my husband doing this - little did he know it was the mustard smear on his lip that showed him up )

Yes. Mine often says 'visited a restaurant' twice in the last month or whatever.

Sometimes I've not even driven past that spot.

Also if I divide distance driven by time I apparently drive at kerb-crawling speed.

Funny you should say this, @Nachosanddips, but according to Google's location finder, I am writing this from a suburb of a city 60km away from where I actually am physically. We live in the near Middle East and we and our friends often find that Google location finder tells us we are in a completely different country from where we live. In the past week, much to our surprise, a few of us have shown as being in the Lebanon, at Beirut International Airport (it seems to have been the same day that we've dropped someone off at our local airport!). So I honestly wouldn't worry, I reckon it's just a google glitch.

Sorry but like pps I think it will be a prostitute. Watched 24hrs in police custody and there was a prostitute in the episode that was parked up in a caravan on an industrial estate. The man was out within 5mins though.

Just thinking of the poor woman whose husband tried to murder her by rigging her parachute, she had no idea what he was up to (affairs, sex clubs etc)

Don't make assumptions based on age - after all, you're the one worried that you don't really know him and what he's doing. I'm 50 and play Pokemon whilst walking the dog. Beats a bland exercise tracker.

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

Is it his phone location or the vehicle app? Are there other ‘missing’ trips on there?

Could be totally innocent or super dodgy (or doggy..!)

Yes it’s so weird. Why would
you accept this? It’s not the point of the thread no but if your relationship is in trouble - never spending the evening together and taking it in turns to lie in your DD’s bed for hours may well be the reason. Sort it out.

Put it in its car seat or ask a friend/neighbour to pop round for an hour?

Op has a newborn so can't follow him.

I don't have an issue with 70 year old men on here, as long as they don't get belligerent with other posters.

And 99% of the time it’s accurate for me too. But on a rare occasion it’s been 0.5 a mile off!

Maybe many of them, unlike me, are concealing their status?
