Hi Everyone
Recently I have been feeling very stressed.
Quite sometime ago there were some strange phone calls to my home asking for my husband one said she had met him at a bar in town the night before but unless he went out when I was asleep he was here she said to me tell him I am wearing what he wants then another call from someone else saying she met him on the internet but as far as I know he does not go on the internet.at the time I just hung up on these calls but after quite a while I mentioned them to my husband. who promptly said to me I am imagining it or I am dreaming not really the response I expected
On another 2 occasions later on females called saying they were from the bank the first call I hand over to my husband who after about 7-8 mins ended the call saying after hardly speaking a word
just listening said No it's alright thanks if I want anything I will let you know
When he put the phone down I asked him what that was about
He replied nothing really!
The other caller who said she was from the bank was certainly not
when I asked her which bank she gave a name we do not use
when I told her this she gave the name of another bank I replied by saying you are not from a bank are you She said yes I am honestly just put him on.
I hung up.
I have asked him repeatedly what is this about he just keeps saying it is nothing to do with him he has no idea but he did take that strange call who said she was from the bank in the first place
Please help this is driving me mad he is not been the best at honesty
in all the time I have been with him.

Do you think he might be being bribed? Just with you saying he was quite on the phone and the callers saying they're from the bank? Do you have joint accounts that you can check?

Not a lot you can do until one rings you again.

Interested in this thread?

Next time, say he isn’t in, but if they’d like to leave a number he’ll get back to him. Obviously you have to pretend that you actually believe they’re from the bank.

If he is engaging with prostitutes you need to know for health reasons.

It does sound like something is going on here. It is very unfair of him to accuse you of imagining the earlier phone calls.

As others have said, sit him down and tell him you aren’t stupid, something is going on here. You need to know who these women are and why they are calling your home. The answer might be very hurtful, but at least you will know.

Good luck

How long have you been together OP. Is it a relatively recent relationship or have you been together years?

nowisthetime2be · 23/06/2019 10:40

I did have that thought myself

You thought he might be getting bribed?

This really sounds like your husband is being blackmailed. Maybe he's engaged with something/someone he would be embarrassed about being made public? I would try to have a very open conversation with him and let him know if it is blackmail you're on his side.

Are these calls during business hours? Could be be hiding something medical?
