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

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?

My travel history is wrong all the time. It pings off the nearest mast. I use a powered wheelchair and it assumes I either cycled or ran, and I make a habit - when bored - of correcting the assumption each time as it annoys me that it doesn't have "travelled by wheelchair" available to set as a default. I also correct all the places it says I've been when I haven't. I live near a large retail park (ten mins walk) and it frequently says I've been in Pets at Home or Next when I've been sat at home. I think that you're thinking too much of this. He could have just driven past and lost signal so it's assumed he went there.

Also FWIW in this day and age, our online lives are our private lives and I wouldn't snoop further. I'm not suggesting that you have, but you said you want to keep checking it. It's invasive and you might get confirmation bias and worry even more.

cryinglaughing · 29/07/2024 21:26

I used to go to an industrial estate with my boyfriend as a teenager 🤭

Itsmecathy87 · 29/07/2024 21:27

@Nachosanddips I hope you are okay!

I once shared the location with DP because I was cycling late ish, and the location was way off, it showed me as being in lorry park for a while. O thi k it was in a location where the signal is poor.

caramac04 · 29/07/2024 21:48

Hoping it was a lack of signal glitch but I’m sure you would have told us that. Hope you’re ok

Do you read a lot of crime fiction?!
What about crimes like stealing catalytic converters, breaking into a unit, stealing scrap metal…

I'm a criminologist, specialising in missing people.

There's been no suggestion, as far as I'm aware, that OP suspects her DH of stealing catalytic converters or scrap metal. What an odd suggestion.

I highly doubt he was "practising his handbrake turns" either.

If you think the pimping out of trafficked women in liminal spaces in and around every town and city in Europe is the stuff of fiction, you need to get out more, and have done for the last 35 years, sorry.

My DS was apparently 200 miles away yesterday according to his location (all day)

He wasn’t, he was at a festival 5 miles away!
