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?

We have a big park at an industrial estate
Does he cycle or jog. Maybe gone for a walk somewhere nearby.

Why? If you don't need it why take it.
Not everyone needs an emotional crutch.

I think some huge leaps are being made here, personally.
I quite often will head out for a drive if I fancy getting out of the house and sometimes park up somewhere random to have a couple of cigarettes and listen to some music. Maybe he just fancied a bit of time to himself? It’s not a crime

@kitsuneghost why take it ?

The clues in the babe "mobile", it's what it is for?

Not everyone needs to be so rude about others using them.

Out of interest, how do you know if you're going to need it? If you have an accident, get extremely delayed etc, please don't ask to use someone else's.

🤷‍♀️

It's not an emotional crutch for most people.
However, even if you don't have your wallet on it, most people have it on them in case they need to contact someone for any reason, possibly an emergency.
There's quite a gap between "emotional crutch" and "useful gadget", I think you'll find.

I agree . Nowadays it's such a useful thing to have because you never know when you'll need it. So I would say it's sensible, rather than a marker of emotional problems, to take it with you.

*clues in the name

This happened randomly on my travel history as well a year or 2 ago, showed me at a industrial estate about 5miles away from home even though I knew I was at work at that time 10 miles in the opposite direction!!

Honestly from other post's comments about accuracy I'd chalk this up to an error on Google's part either about the time, place, length of visit or all of the above, especially as it's a one-off.

I can't comment as we all have our location turned off in this household.

Does he buy things on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree or whatever. Maybe he went to collect an item from a business there? Ive gone to some pretty odd locations to collect items.

Stop looking at the phone and work out why you both sleep alone every night and your DD doesn't.

Whether DP nips to see friends or not being normal is not the issue. You are choosing to have separate lives. Put DD to bed. Spend your evenings together. Sleep together.

How do you access this? I've never thought that my journeys would be recorded, or where I would be able to see that.
I think you need to ask him. Do you have reason to be suspicious of his behaviour?

Good point. Maybe there’s an Amazon collection locker there.

Could be an error, especially if data before or after it is missing.

In any case, assuming he's guilty of something nefarious, I'd suspect that if you confront him with this he will lie.

If I were you, I'd sit on this for now. I'd be seeing if it happens again (and yes, I'd carry on snooping on his phone, idgaf)

Going to a friend’s house in the evening isn’t odd OP. If you’re in bed with your child I imagine he isn’t going to want to sit in on his own every evening (and vice versa on the nights he puts the kids to bed). I have a close friend who lives around the corner and I pop round to hers for a glass of wine in the evening usually once a week, more in the summer.

I haven't read others opinions but listen to this..about 2 years ago my husband came storming in the bathroom shaking and on the verge of tears because my google timeline had me in a village 3 miles away at 2am that morning. He had got in at around 5am from work but he actually believed I had gone and left our 3 kids alone to go fuck off and meet up with somone! Needless to say I had been asleep (in either my son or daughters bed as they were bad sleepers) and google timeline was wrong. It happens but it's absolute shit cos if you have a snooping spouse it causes tons of problems

I think others have suggested the same - it’s a data loss because he was driving around a place with bad signal, glitch etc. WAY MORE LIKELY than all the awful suggestions some people are making here. Please OP don’t fall for the anxiety driven options, this kind of map failure happens to me all the time

Lots of people have given you reasonable explanations of some of the issues with Google locations. This boils down to if you trust him or not. If you do then just put this behind you now and move on. If you don’t (and ideally have a lot more than glitchy old google to go on) then speak to him! People tend to go through phones when they are looking for reasons not to trust someone - you mentioned you typically get paranoid about these things, and that feels to me like something to also sort out as it can be a real relationship killer.

Yes, a great way to destroy trust in your relationship.

I have recently split up from a woman who thought it appropriate to rummage through my private letters whilst ostensibly helping me pack up for a house move.
I could never trust her after that. She had a key to my house and wondered why she didn't get one to the new house.
Our relationship was doomed at that point.

OP instead of going there at night, why don't you go during the day like next time you're doing your shopping or running an errand? You may find something "normal" nearby that DH would have been visiting 🤞🏼

Strange question- is he introverted?

I ask becuase when kids were growing up I often felt I had no where to be alone and decompress . I used to go for a drive, park up, and just sit - that’s it. Sit and think, go off in my own world. Decompress. A couple of hours sat in car wasn’t unusual.

just saying- before you go down route of him being up to something. Think about how much time by himself you’ve known him to need historically. .

Haha yes, that would be the most reasonable explanation! However Raids are never there during nighttime and he would have needed a team of people to catch it anyway. Rare wild spawns only show the ones close to you so he wouldn't have needed a car to drive there.

That's disgusting. It's also illegal.

I'd divorce DH, no question, if he secretly put a tracker on my car.

Unbelievable that someone would seriously suggest stalking like this. Or is it just a joke because MN is only for entertainment, not asking for serious advice?

Secretly tracking someone is abusive fgs and not remotely normal behaviour. And yes, Airtags notify even Android phones - a measure put in place partly to protect women from abusive partners.
