DH dogwalks with another woman

AIBU to not want my DH to disappear on a sunday moring with a female colleague, who is also married. This happens intermittently. He never says in advance that he's going but always admits where he's been. Plus his phone always tells me where he is. Am I being paranoid? Last week he said he wanted to give me a lie in. Late evening (11.30 pm) she WhatsApp him to thank him for the walk.

So just a coincidence that he says to her ‘you have a lie in’ I’ll get up early with the dog. And just happens to bump in to a colleague at this early time on frequent occasions. Ok.

This is in the daily mail op

Delatron, where are you getting "frequent" from? That is not what the OP says.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 02/02/2022 11:31

Oh, I see: from the Daily Mail piece that used this rather unconvincing OP as a springboard last Friday, and which does use the word. Got it.

Well it’s not a one off is it?

Happens intermittently. I don’t bump on to colleagues intermittently on Sunday mornings.

If they lived near the same dogwalking area, I would. I certainly wouldn't feel that if I walked my dog in a particular place, that meant nobody from my place of work was allowed also to do so: I lack the necessary sense of entitlement.

In any case, this being a made-up AIBU for the Daily Mail to use, it isn't a one-off; it is a none-off.

The dog walking with a female friend wouldn't bother me at all. DH will go out drinking or for meals with his female friends & I do the same with male friends. There's nothing more to it than friendships & we are both as laid back as it comes over opposite sex friendships.

That said, the late night thank you text is weird & is trying to engage him in late night chat. This would make my spidey senses bristle too & has done with one new woman who seemed to be pushing DH in a similar way in the past & I was spot on in not trusting this particular woman as mutual friends later confirmed that she had her eye in DH & no shame. Sounds like dog walking friend has an agenda. Time for a serious chat with your DH. His response will tell you all you need to know

It was all invented, so none of it is of the least significance.

Oh, and sending a text at a time when you would think that a man who has to go to work in the morning would be likely to be in bed with his wife is a very improbable come-on.

Friggin lazy assed incompetent journos & this one can't even spell properly🙄. Sack them & replace with someone who can actually do the job

@HRMtheQuern

They must look like a couple going out walking the dogs. It's not on. They can catch up in another way
Look like to whom? I mean, if it's someone who doesn't know them, who cares? And if it's someone who does know them, evidently they're not bothered enough to hide it.

Why's it not on? What would be on? What the hell are you on about?

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 05/02/2022 17:39

Since they don't exist, they probably don't look like anything much.
