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?

You explained why on here - why wouldn't you just say the same to him?

Lorry drivers who park up overnight and sleep in their cabs often park on industrial estates which is why they are often a common place for sex workers to operate. There is a woman on a light industrial estate not far from me who has a horse box converted into a mobile brothel.

However I also see men racing their cars, practicing that dreadful ‘popping’ with their engines, meeting up on mini rallies to look at each other’s cars, illegally race go karts, fly drones etc. Also rumours of dog fights.

I would do a lot of googling and Facebook sleuthing putting in the name of the industrial estate and these activities. If it is a busy dogging site, for example, it is likely that there are residents complaining or reports of convictions.

Then I would just ask him, before you drive yourself mad.

Could he have been helping a friend with driving practice? Learner drivers are also v common in these places.

So you do alternate nights for night feeds and on your nights he'll just go out in the middle of the night and you have no idea where he is. Or he'll go and sit for the night in his mates house? Sounds a very odd set up tbh. I'd just ask him where he went, his initial reaction will probably tell you everything

There’s a pool hall that’s open late on an industrial estate near me could it be something like that? Also my sister used to live near an industrial estate and you could hear dog fighting in one of the units as well! (We did call the police but we heard it a few times) Could it be a secret club like that (maybe that one’s a bit extreme) Sorry you’re going through this it must be awful wondering and not knowing. Is there anything close by that he would visit legitimately for an hour or is it far away from anywhere he normally goes to? Hope you’re ok OP x

If he had a kebab he would stink though surely?

I just meant it's quite strange that he might do that regularly and come home and you wouldn't ever ask him where he's been, even just to make polite conversation.
You just guess he's been for petrol or a drive or something, obviously he can go wherever he likes (within reason) but the zero communication from either of you is strange to me.

Could you pretend to be asleep and then follow him next time?

Is there any evidence of calls to a prostitute?

I've been known to drive out to somewhere and have a long and undisturbed phonecall with family or friends. Perhaps check his call log to see if that's what he'd done?

Mine sometimes says I've been on a drive to somewhere for up to 20 hours when I've been on a 30 minute walk or a bus/tube /train to somewhere completely different and returned home.

There must be some other weird behaviour from your DH to cause you to worry like this.

Not for you to answer on the thread, but has he been distant lately? Not engaging in family life? Being off with you? Thinking about the answers to those questions to yourself honestly may help you to figure out if there are issues which would point to suspicious behaviour.

Ask him.

My bet is that he was seeing a prostitute though. Sorry OP.

This. The point is, do you trust him? Maybe he just likes to go for a walk to clear his head. Snooping on his phone is a no no trust wise.

Flat tyre? Car issues?

I can’t follow him as I’m home with my dd

Is it really that weird to nip out to a friends house sometimes? I didn’t realise it was that strange, same as going for a drink at the pub in a way 🤷🏻‍♀️

I immediately thought of dogging.

Bizarre suggestion but does he have Pokémon Go? I often drive to random places to sit for a while spinning stops and catching the Pokémon 😳.

I agree with PP that sometimes locations are not that precise.

Maybe a friend is going thorough challenging time and asked to meet somewhere private for a chat.

It sounds like a "massage" parlour

Could it be something like one of those 24 hour gym/fitness places where you let yourself in? Some of them on industrial estates for the cheap rental I'd assume. But I can't see why he wouldn't be upfront about that.

My ex was going out for “walks” late in the evening to similar places for an hour or two at a time. Turned out he was meeting blokes off Grindr for sex.

Depending on his hobbies an industrial estate could have a 24hr gym/boxing gym/ music studio/food.

He could have bought drive thru food or snacks and pulled over to eat it - or as someone else suggested his phone rang znd he pulled over.

Or the location could be wrong.

I think your choices are to ask your husband about it or do further snooping on his phone - text messages,/WhatsApps etc.

What country is it? 4 pages of UK-centric advice is an irrelevance.

OP - If this is normal behaviour for your Dp to nip out at night, do you not have a genera1l conversation the next day about it? Ie - how was his mate he went to visit etc?
