To feel slightly suspicious of dp

Hi, I'm looking to know would YOU be suspicious? I'm not really suspicious but maybe a bit slightly?

So, dp works for his dads business and has for the last 10 years. Dp doesn't start work until 9. Usually he would set an alarm for 8:30 which sounds really late but his workplace is a 2 minute drive from our home. And he's really easy going 🤣. His dad doesn't drive but a workmate would always collect him.

About a month ago dp started setting alarms at 6.45-7:15 getting up and leaving the house within 10 mins of those alarms. (Extremely early from before) I've been with dp 5 years he's never up that early for work.

He says it's because he's starting to give his dad a lift to work every morning. His mum and dad live a 5 minute drive from our home. That's not too suspicious. But the thing that's making me go 🤨 is he's leaving home in the mornings in his normal clothes. He says he gets ready in his parents house just before he leaves for work as it's easier?

He has a specific work uniform. He would always get ready here before leaving.

So he's started leaving the house over an hour earlier than usual and not getting ready here?

Would you be suspicious?

My friend wants to try follow him again. So we will plan this but I'm going to wait to see what he says about me going a walk in the morning and him having to leave a little later

Are you able to walk to his parents street ? Would there possibly be someone hanging around waiting for him ?

@wwyt this is a slightly odd response by someone who is on here looking for genuine advice to a genuine problem which seems to be genuinely upsetting you?

Surely an affair you'd not go every day at 7am!

You'd see them a few times a week, not very single day. (I mean maybe first few weeks it's exciting but after a bit you'd calm down to less regular)

Regular session like that sounds more like an extra job (could be one done from parents house?) but does he have any other particular skills if he actually is a welder? Maybe working on commissions for art work? But hiding the money so doesn't lose it in a divorce.

The idea of saying you want to go for an early walk tomorrow sounds appealing to see his reaction but I wouldn't do it. It will leave you with no concrete evidence and will just further make him aware that you are on to him.

Willowtree6 · 03/10/2024 18:31

Do you have a joint bank account?

I agree with PP, don't think you should say you're going for an early morning walk/ changing your routine. It's too obvious and sketchy that you're on to him.

just have friend already waiting at parents and see where he goes from there.

Thing is leaving two hours early for work and not providing any reasonable explanation , it would be pretty hard not to be onto him wouldn't it. If he's having an affair he's making it blatantly obvious

AdventureCode · 03/10/2024 18:16

I'm sorry if my post sounds flippant that wasn't my intention, I'd be exactly the same as the op trying to find out what he was up to good or bad.
It doesn't look like something good.

On fabswingers you stick your location on and can see who's nearby, you send them a message and arrange to meet. You don't have to care or filter for an age group, as long as he's happy with what she looks like theyll probably meet.

DreamW3aver · 03/10/2024 18:09

AdventureCode · 03/10/2024 18:01

This is so odd, my guess is he's found someone local on fabswingers, sorry

It s not some kind of game, there aren't any prizes, no need to make guesses that really don't make sense. Or does fabswingers have a filter for women available pre breakfast living withing walking distance of the in laws with bobs ( may or may not be elderly)

It is to a 20-30 year old.

OP could he be taking his Mum or another relative to a hospital appointment.

50 to 60 with the hair left completely undied looks absolutely old. Even these days - you see the school mums when we leave the hair not done for few months, suddenly look like the gran, not the mum

You've got a baby OP! Poor little thing. Stop wasting your time on this amateur detective nonsense and focus on your baby.

If you're not ready to end your marriage, there's no rush. I'm sure he'll keep fucking up, being an angry lying twat, and cheating only you for years to come. Focus on your baby, get your finances in order, and put your energy into sorting your life out so when you're ready, you can just dump him.

Another one who hasn't read the thread

I have no relationship with his parents

I did see this op but are you able to explain a bit more about the background to this? It’s just I can’t help but wonder if it provides a piece to the puzzle. Do you think- horrible though the thought is when you have Dc - the parents might be encouraging or even facilitative of Dp finding another relationship? I just keep feeling your lack of relationship with them holds the key to why he is vanishing round there. Is the relationship so bad they would want it keep it from you if one of them was very ill? ( I know someone like this)

CrumpledBankNote · 03/10/2024 17:23

@MarkingBad Well I assumed the Ops story has triggered you in some way for you to come at her in such an aggressive way - making assumptions. Her life is quite likely in turmoil right now.

Op, I hope you get a plan in place and I hope you get answers.

Personally I would get my friend to wait in her car by the parents house and see where he goes after that - try and record him if they can discreetly.

ThatWardrobe · 03/10/2024 17:17

There's not much point in a tracker if he's parking on the parents street 5 mins away. I agree, the friend needs to be prepared to stake out the street early for a few days or you need to get up earlier and do it yourself. I can totally see why you want proof now as he's denied it several times.

onwardsup4 · 03/10/2024 17:08

Really confusing thread and yes talk of private detective is ridiculous since his parents live five mins away and he works another five mins away from that. Doesn't sound like international man of mystery does he. Op if you really cant just have a straight conversation and find out what's going on just put a tracker in his car or buy a phone and share location with yours put it in his car.
