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?

Seems weird to me, I can't see a mum having time to have a shag before the school run, and I can't see a non-mum getting up that early unless forced to - I certainly would not want to shag anyone that much, and I'd feel a bit used/suspicious by one hour a day at 7am!

I'm going with he's doing something he knows you won't like, but not that.

Edited

You're assuming a woman.
It would make more sense if it were a man.

Men wake up horny which is more aligned to the hours quoted

So maybe he's discovered a new side to his tastes

If you doubt the OP then you know what to do.

The thread is still up so....

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 29/09/2024 09:29

Oh dear. Doesn’t since great. Could work mate have picked both dad and your partner up?

Protect yourself just in case. Look after your money, make sure it is safe. If anything happens then you at least have financial fall back. Protect yourself. Have a separate life, incase you are left isolated. I mean your own friends, dont invest all in one basket. Have your eggs spread out.

Well duh … I didn’t realise that as I live a life where I’ve got no need to know what that means until now. But now I do know 😂😂😂

I can understand why you might think it’s far fetched but it’s also possible op is genuine and it could now be impossible for her to return to this thread for support when she’s been called a liar. That’s why MN just want you to report to them rather than say it on the thread.

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?

I've never heard of troll hunting either and I'm definitely not new to the Internet! Not a huge forum user I guess, I only pop over here if I get an email with what looks like an interesting post 😅

Okay I get that. It was badly judged. But she’s not coming back. If she does I’ll stand completely corrected and feel terrible for my cynicism. I doubt my posts were any worse than the ones who think it’s funny and a source of entertainment

Thank the lord. Another human like me who didn’t know what troll hunting on the internet was 😂 what a strange world we live in where people ‘hunt trolls’ online 😂

You didn't know what it means yet you strongly disageed with more than one posters explaining what you done 😂

I don’t think I would either if I were her.

But you said earlier (on one of your many deleted posts) that you used MN regularly, on a daily basis.

How could you not know that you're not supposed to accuse an OP on their thread, of lying (i.e. being a troll)?

It's one of the most important of the TGs. You're supposed to report posts to MNHQ if you think they're not genuine.

All it means is "accusing someone of lying".

SpottedTailQuoll · 29/09/2024 11:35

Hello OP, is everything ok? Hope you and children are alright. 💐

GotMarriedInCornwall · 29/09/2024 11:44

I got so invested in this and I wish I hadn’t as now I fear I’ll never know the outcome.
OP, if you are still reading, you definitely need to phone up and ask to speak to him if his dad answers. If he’s not there, call his mobile. When he then says he’s at work, you can call out his lying.

Jeanieween · 29/09/2024 11:51

Cant you follow him or put one of those trackers on the car lol sounds a bit extreme but I would .
It does seem odd that he dresses in ordinary clothes and huis expensive watch ...why not confront him with your fears and see what he says?

Has anyone ever confronted their husband with worries he’s cheating and he’s actually confessed? Everyone always says ask him/talk to him but if I thought my husband was cheating that’s the last thing I’d do. I’d think well he’s either deceiving me by cheating so why would he be honest if I asked him or he’s not cheating but how can he prove he’s not cheating so why ask?

Also I always think about films and tv/real life/social media where a woman walks in on her husband having sex with another woman and he says ‘it’s not what it looks like’ or something, if the husband lies even then he wouldn’t be honest if confronted?

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 29/09/2024 11:59

Well I think the Op @wwyt will come back - on Monday or Tuesday

there is nothing else for her to say / report right now as friend wasn't able to follow him at the right time as he left early.
Maybe the next plan could be for the friend to be parked up in the parent's road before he is due ?

and of course friend may not be available on Mon or Tues ? if she herself works on weekdays
