To think google maps IS right and dp has cheated on me

Hi all, so a bit of a backstory here, dp and I have been together for 2 years and were very happy until last months incident which has left our relationship on its last legs.

Dp and I have been dealing with a lot of stress recently (a family member of mine was murdered early this year and it left me in depression and not the nicest person to be around, including recent financial struggle). Dp has been very supportive but recently it became more of a “when are you going to stop moping around” and I could tell he was getting fed up and feeling like I should pull myself together (if only it were that easy Hmm )

We had a big argument 3 weeks ago and I decided he should stay at a friends as it is not the right environment for the dc. Later that night, before bed I attempted to phone him to apologise for being so hard to be around lately and to say goodnight, he didn’t answer the phone or call back which he has never done before, I messaged him and it went unread until the next day. I put this down to him needing some time out and he answered my call the next morning. I asked him where he had stayed and he told me with his cousin and would be back to talk to me that evening.

Dp returned later that afternoon and seemed extremely shifty but I couldn’t put my finger on why. Before bed he switched his phone off and left it downstairs in his work bag which he has never done before. I know it is very wrong of me to not trust what he says and I’m embarrassed to say I snooped on his laptop when he went to work. Google maps shows him spending the night at his ex girlfriends house! I confronted him and he went as far as to say I had hacked his google and parked outside her house overnight to frame him Shock. Of course this has now left me thinking, if you are going to the extreme of accusing me of framing you then you are definitely hiding something!

Dp then changed the story to, well google maps is obviously wrong, I wasn’t there. Google maps has been 110% accurate for the last 2 years he has had it, it has not shown him at a place he hasn’t actually been at ever, so is this just some crazy coincidence that google maps messes up for the first time ever and places him at his ex’s house the night of our argument or is my dp not only a liar but a cheat too Sad

I want to believe him and cannot leave him until I know what he has done, he will not admit it, I cannot stand him near me at the moment, our love life has been none existent for the last 3 weeks. Can anyone offer any advice? Is it accurate?
I also asked if he could show me an itemised bill as of course he would have probably text/called her first before showing up and he refuses.

Just say, you come clean or you leave

YouJustDoYou · 24/06/2019 18:46

You're not wrong. Google maps is not wrong. Your bf is a cheating gaslighting horrible piece of crap. You will always always be looking over your shoulder, wondering what he's up to, and he will continue to lie, to get away with it, and continue to shag his ex.

Mitzimaybe · 24/06/2019 18:49

He didn't answer or call you back - he always has before
When he came home, he was acting shifty which set your spidey senses tingling
Google maps - which has always been accurate before - places him at his ex's
When asked, instead of being puzzled, he went on the attack and accused you of framing him
You suggested clearing it up by looking at his phone log / bill and he refused

OP, you have way more proof here than some women ever get. It doesn't matter if he admits it or keeps lying - you know he cheated on you.

Gingerkittykat · 24/06/2019 18:49

I just tried to look my Google Maps timeline and it said today I was in a town about 30 miles away that I have not visited for months!

Makes mental note to turn location off on my phone unless I need directions.

RomanyQueen · 24/06/2019 18:53

I hate to say this but how do you know you aren't the ow?
He could have still been with her all along.

Didntwanttochangemyname · 24/06/2019 18:54

He is insulting your intelligence.

WifOfBif · 24/06/2019 18:58

So he could reassure you by showing you his itemised phone bill from that night, but he refuses?

You know the truth.

Jellybeansincognito · 24/06/2019 19:00

I didn’t even read past the first few sentences because it’s irrelevant. You’ve been together only 2 years and your relationship is on its last legs? I think that tells you all you need to know. What he’s being doing and when and who with is irrelevant, it doesn’t change anything you knowing what he’s been up to. Your relationship isn’t working.

steff13 · 24/06/2019 19:03

I agree with PP - he was there. I don't know what he did, but I have my suspicions.

Also, this:

Google maps has been 110% accurate for the last 2 years he has had it, it has not shown him at a place he hasn’t actually been at ever

You said your relationship was happy, but how often do you check up on him on Google Maps? That would lead me to believe that you have been suspicious in the past.

Frankola · 24/06/2019 19:10

I'm sorry but he was at his ex's house.

Google maps doesn't lie. And his story of you trying to frame him is just bonkers.

You don't need him to admit it. You cant possibly stay there on the premise you want him to admit it.

He probably wont admit it until you leave anyway and he thinks it's the only way to get you back.

PreseaCombatir · 24/06/2019 19:17

I mean, how much proof do you need?

ncdforthistoday · 24/06/2019 19:29

I'm sorry op I really don't believe google maps was broken and happened to put him at her address. Whatever did or didn't happen when he was there, the fact he came out with the over the top accusations about you framing him is such a red flag I would struggle to believe it was an innocent visit to cry on her shoulder. I'm so sorry for your loss earlier this year but this man doesn't sound any good from the details here

PettyContractor · 24/06/2019 19:40

I wouldn't allow myself to be thrown out of my own house, but if I did, and there was a friendly ex not to far way, I'd think that the perfect place to spend the night.

Iwrotethissongfor · 24/06/2019 19:45

I don’t think there’s any possible ambiguity here for the same reasons others have mentioned. It’s two years in and it sounds like there’s been a strange unhappy incident coupled with you checking his whereabouts before? I hadn’t moved in with boyfriend (now husband) when we had been in a relationship for two years but am trying to understand your dynamics here - you say DP rather than boyfriend and mention that it wasn’t the right environment for the DCs. Whose child/ren and how enmeshed are your lives - do you rent it own a house together? Sorry you’re having a tough time of it then this on top, hope you can cut him out.

WomanLikeMeLM · 24/06/2019 19:48

Google maps can be wrong, my house is not even on it , so i would not put all my evidence on him cheating solely on that.

ethelfleda · 24/06/2019 19:54

I’m really sorry to miss the point of the thread, OP - and I’m really sorry you’re going through all this but...
Am I the only one who had absolutely no idea that you can see where you/someone else has been by looking at google maps?? I didn’t know this was a thing! I’ve just looked at mine though and it has no data for any of the dates I chose!

IceCreamAndCandyfloss · 24/06/2019 19:55

The fact you stopped on him and his location shows the relationship is over regardless of whether it is true or not. If you’re already having issues just two years in it’s not a good sign.

FancyACarrot · 24/06/2019 19:56

Flowers Be strong xx

SushiTime · 24/06/2019 20:00

@ethelfleda glad someone asked...

ThanksOP :(

ConcreteUnderpants · 24/06/2019 20:03

Am I the only one who had absolutely no idea that you can see where you/someone else has been by looking at google maps??

Nope ethel me neither. We can stalk each other now though, if you fancy it?Grin

And OP yup, he's a cheating scumbag. Sorry.

TriciaH87 · 24/06/2019 20:10

If you know where she lives which you must do then your going about this the wrong way. He has too much to loose to be honest so go confront her. Tell her he told you everything you just want to know why she allowed him to be there knowing you have a child involved. She may just tell you the truth.

GabsAlot · 24/06/2019 22:26

he didnt say yeah ok was i needd a friend he accused op of hacking into his account and framing him-so hes hiding something

BumbleBeee69 · 24/06/2019 22:55

Gaslighting bastard Flowers

HiJenny35 · 24/06/2019 23:35

Get his phone and text her...
X knows that I was about yours and she's not letting it go. Not sure what to say anymore.
And see what comes back.
