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

[Nachosanddips]

Last night I was on Dh’s phone-not snooping…initially at least. I was turning lullaby music off that he and our dc had fallen asleep to.
It showed the travel history of where he’d been/been driving etc. I just thought it was quite interesting at first, don’t think I have it on my phone or if I do, no idea how to access it! I started looking and it was all pretty boring-travel to work, certain shops, cafes etc, a friends house. One entry from last Sunday shows him going out in the evening driving for 30 minutes, it says here no location/location not shown. Then from around 10.30-11.30 pm, it shows a location and when I looked at it, it’s an industrial estate. This is really strange isn’t it?! Making me so paranoid, what would you make of it?

Do not do this. This is terrible advice.

I would not confront him at first maybe you can go to the location at night and see what type of activity is going on. There is a couple of industrial estates miles from where we live that prostitutes go to. Google the industrial estate with words like prostitute etc you may get hits from local forums. We found about the ones near us on local forums residents nearby complaining about it.

I think you need to check what's there really.
It could be something like drugs or prostiutes etc, but it could also be something entirely innocent.
Where I live a lot of cheap gyms have opened up on industrial estates recently, so it could even be something like that.
The timeline history could easily be wrong too. Mine says I visited Edinburgh recently. I'm hundreds of miles from there and I think I'd remember if I'd made that journey!

Why don't you google red light district and see what comes up in your area? That's what I'd be thinking to be honest. I'm sorry that's awful

Did you check his mobiles calls list just prior and after this jaunt? Failing that, I’d say somebody saw you out the other night near x what were you doing?

I would have just assumed popped out for a McDonald's or a cigarette and sat there to enjoy it and some peace and quiet. I wouldn't have jumped to prostitute.
Some industrial estates have a gym. Would that be it? Perhaps met a mate on their way out for a natter?

How do you check your google steps?

This.

These replies are so unhelpful Op. just ignore these idiots.

It's not odd.

I’d wondered about a gym too, mine is on an industrial estate.

Maybe he is a serial killer? Am being serious.

There's an industrial estate here that has loads of cash and carries etc. At night it's deserted apart from the prostitutes and there are loads.

Stop snooping and stop listening to Mumsnet crazy theories.
Location apps aren't always accurate, my Google history misses things out as it doesn't always recognise places. Life 360 thinks my OH works in the middle of a car park down the road from where he actually works.
I also park up random places and sit and chill or read a book, just for some peace. I've occasionally had a snooze. I'm certainly not dogging, or meeting flurries or any other crazy stuff 😆

In the uk some brothels operate from industrial estates. I hope you get the answer you seek OP

I'd keep quiet for a bit. Check out to see if his locations match with where he says he is. There is a way of checking locations on Facebook too as many people arent aware and don't disable the feature.

The real issue here is trust. People on here have said that they have known their locations to be all over the place. You snooped and found more than you bargained for. You've not said anything yet because you are actually quite reasonable and don't want to rock your world without proof. If it's going to eat you alive inside I think you're going to need to come clean. Explain what happened and start an honest discussion. It's alright people on here suggesting prostitutes although that is absolutely how and where it happens, it won't do you any good. Overthinking causes more problems than anything else.

Maybe the location wasn’t accurate? I can log into netflix sometimes and it will tell me my location is 400 miles from where i'm actually sat - even iCloud does this sometimes! I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation - he may have picked a friend up from a gym there - could literally be anything. Put it to the back of your mind, if he’s given you no reason to not trust him then leave it at that.

It's an unusual person who goes out without their phone.

What country are you in, OP?

Placemarking this thread. I personally thought streetworkers straightaway.

My first thought was burger van........

i often leave my phone at home (I’m not even particularly old, mid 40s). I just don’t remember or deliberately leave it behind as don’t want to lose it or be bothered while I’m out. My OH does find it quite annoying and we have a young son so I probably should have it when I’m out with him but I managed for the first 20 or so years of my life with no phone.
anyway, sorry for slight derail, I just felt compelled to comment!

Sometimes google maps etc are inaccurate. Reason why Ubers sometimes can’t find your pick up location for example.

You managed without a phone when you were a toddler...
