To feel slightly suspicious of dp

Hi, I'm looking to know would YOU be suspicious? I'm not really suspicious but maybe a bit slightly?

So, dp works for his dads business and has for the last 10 years. Dp doesn't start work until 9. Usually he would set an alarm for 8:30 which sounds really late but his workplace is a 2 minute drive from our home. And he's really easy going 🤣. His dad doesn't drive but a workmate would always collect him.

About a month ago dp started setting alarms at 6.45-7:15 getting up and leaving the house within 10 mins of those alarms. (Extremely early from before) I've been with dp 5 years he's never up that early for work.

He says it's because he's starting to give his dad a lift to work every morning. His mum and dad live a 5 minute drive from our home. That's not too suspicious. But the thing that's making me go 🤨 is he's leaving home in the mornings in his normal clothes. He says he gets ready in his parents house just before he leaves for work as it's easier?

He has a specific work uniform. He would always get ready here before leaving.

So he's started leaving the house over an hour earlier than usual and not getting ready here?

Would you be suspicious?

Perhaps troll hunting? Thread has been reported by others and it is still standing so not sure tbh.

Probably classed it as troll hunting, which isn't allowed

You should know by now that you can't troll hunt.
That's why your post was deleted.

I’m entirely being nosy tbh

OrchardBlack · 28/09/2024 21:18

Genuinely hope it's just some misunderstanding or something OP 💐

We know it's two minutes' drive from the OP's house to the DP's workplace. We don't know how far it is from OP's house to the in laws' house, do we? and then how far from there to the workplace?

I feel if I knew this I could channel my inner Ludwig and come up with the answer to the problem.

It can't be far surely, I'd be suggesting they should walk, so that'd put pay to any shenanigans.

Think the OP says I. An earlier post that the parent live about 5 min away from the workplace.

@Clomid1 you and me both 😂

OP could it be that his parents are unwell or something and that's why he's helping out more?

I wondered this too.

zileri · 28/09/2024 21:44

Surely any of the neighbours would give him short shift (shrift)?

You can't be that dedicated or you'd know that troll hunting isn't allowed, its pretty much the only rule

zileri · 28/09/2024 21:48

@KaleQueen - please apply the forensic linguistics and share the findings.

BluebirdBoogie · 28/09/2024 22:06

Any update OP?

Well I called a guy out several times as being a fake post and AI and that didn’t get deleted.

Loads of people say ‘I’m not sure this is true’ on lots of posts so I’m not sure why this is different. But I’ve been deleted again so I’d better not say anything else.

ps edited to say I had to google troll hunting as I’m so old I didn’t even know what it was. I knew what a ‘troll’ was. You learn something new every day 😳

Posts can only be deleted if someone reports them.
You must know that MN isn't a pre-moderated site.

If your other posts weren't deleted it's because nobody brought them to MNHQ's attention.

Update:

I rung dp he says he's at work. We rung the workplace his father answered.

Well, this is painful

Did you not just ask tio speak to him? There was always the possibility that someone other than your husband would answer the phone.

What does your age have to do with it?

Troll hunting on the internet has been a thing for well over 20 years, unless you're new to the internet?

My most creative guess: OPs FIL is running an underground but increasingly popular poker/black Jack club to supplement his main business and OPs DH goes to make the drop off of winnings with OPs Fil every morning for safety, on the way to their day job.
