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?

I have Family Link on my phone to track my kids. On occasion, it'll tell me one or the other of them has "left school" and their phone will be in a location fairly nearby.

I don't know why it does this, they've never left school once they've been there (yes, I have called and the receptionist has literally trotted down to check!)

Honestly if it's for an hour, it's far more likely to be that. No man has enough get up and go to spend a singular hour driving to an out of the way place to go dogging or to see a prostituted woman. Well, not unless he's previously done things like that. Or maybe he's nipped out for a Big Mac in peace but doesn't want you to know as you're dieting because you've just had a baby? (I say this because I caught my husband doing this - little did he know it was the mustard smear on his lip that showed him up )

Can you ask around locally (friends, locals, call an estate agent?) if that area is known for something in particular. Pretend a friend had asked you or you’re considering a business there or some other made up excuse. When I was looking for a house several locals warned me against a particular area due to prostitution.

I do think you should ask yourself why you snooped on his location history in the first place. Your posts suggest you are kind of nonchalant and just came across it while on his phone for another reason. Sorry but you definitely went snooping

If you went looking because you have a feeling he’s up to something he shouldn’t (for whatever reason), you need to be honest with yourself about that.

Im not totally against snooping if you have good reason to believe somethings up. it’s not as if cheating is a rare phenomenon. I’ve done it myself and was proven to be right.

Haha! This!

On such scant info, the amount of people that leaped to ‘defo a prostitute’ is not normal!

I suspect we shall never find out what the secret squirrel was up to....

Out of interest, after reading this thread, my DH and I looked through his Google history to see if he had anything weird on there (I have mine turned off).

Apparently on Monday he spent 45 minutes at a Premier Inn, at a location 3.5hrs away from our home. Looks pretty suspicious.

We were on holiday together and I was with him at the time. We walked past a Premier Inn on the opposite side of the road, without even pausing.

Google location history definitely isn't reliable!

It’s just not reliable. Often it has my DS still in the middle of a busy road. I panic thinking he’s been run over. Then it shows him in the river…! I’ve stopped using google tracker or whatever we have.

Use your gut instinct and don’t get wound up by comments on here. You know your DH.

On reading this thread, I've turned my location and history on for the first time. I never go anywhere (disability) so am hoping Google gives me a more exciting life 😂

I have just checked my data for today. It says I was home all afternoon. I was not; I was at a friend’s house a mile away.

The only thing I can think of that you'd do for in an industrial estate for an hour is interval training. Maybe he met a friend for a run?

Or maybe he was driving and he took an interesting or important phone call and needed to park up somewhere safe to concentrate on the call, if his hands free isn't very good.

To point 4: I can imagine there are quite a few of us here who discovered our sweet DP/DH were seeing prostitutes. Count me as one for sure. We know the shady behavior as we sadly experienced it.

Ok so the industrial area, as it only happened once, among other data pojnts, in data speak is an outlier.

so a one off not to worry. however I get it. you are wondering if it is a pattern.

you have 2, or rather 3 options:

1. ask him about it. Yet be prepared to be confronted as to why you know. risk putting trust at risk over one data point.
2. check again a few times over the next few months and see if there is a pattern. if so, there is your answer. you do not need to confront him, as the most important thing is this question: does this work for YOU? and if it does not, make plans to leave. because no matter what he says, you will feel otherwise
3. say nothing at all, erase this from your mind and move on

Not necessarily! I can imagine there are quite a few of us here who learned their now exes were seeing prostitutes. It is from experience.

Mine says I frequently go to Portsmouth and Southampton....I haven't been to either.

He met someone off fab swingers

Industrial espionage ? @Nachosanddips

Poor bloke. Just wanted to nip to the Netherlands to share a kebab with a furry prostitute while watching a dog fight, and he's got all this suspicion on him.

It struck me as a bit strange when you said he goes to a couples house for a chat. Are you sure because that's not something my hubby would ever do. I think you need to confirm that tbh. As for the industrial estate my first thought was prostitute. You need to do some more digging. Check his messages and emails.

It could be his phone logged an inaccurate location ?
I have an iPhone and it often does that. When on holiday in Greece last month it was saying I also visited Turkey and Croatia 💁🏻‍♀️

@whyhavetheygotsomany He doesn’t sit and chat with her, but they’re still friends, we’re both friends with them

I find it very strange that you think that's a bit strange.

Where I Live there is a brothel In a local industrial estate. So that's where my mind first went
