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?

Hope it's an innocent reason in the end

If its still bothering you get the baby up early and follow him. Leave the baby in PJ's and put something cosy over them and take them in car seat. When you get to his parents house call him and say you are outside can he come out and speak to you about something urgent.

I don't think you have anything really to fo on other than he's leaving the house. He seems to be at his parents house when he said he is and he's at work. All he has done is go early - not in itself suspicious really.

He seems to of been very open with you about your sex life... can't you just ask him instead of asking in here and doing some random private detective work with your friend??
People will think your a troll because it sounds bloody insane!!
You've a baby to be concerned with...
If its five mins round the corner put the baby in his pram walk round and knock on his parents door???bor just bloody ask him.
I can't believe your friends actually joining in too 😳

Ahhh yes the usual “honey, are you having an affair?”
“Yes darling, is that alright with you?” Script. Of course that’s not how it goes. It never does. OP needs concrete evidence and she has her reasons for that. She knows her husband better than anyone, so obviously she’s keen on gathering evidence.

Really hoping that you get to the bottom of this and it turns out to be something benign. It must be awful to be living in limbo while feeling like you are in a cliff edge. Sending you strength.

NothingVenturedAndAllThat · 02/10/2024 14:03

Goodness me, I have to say, I thought it seemed unlikely he'd be up to no good at 7am in a morning. Who has the energy for that?! Hoping there's a reasonable explanation for it all, OP.

Of course this is upsetting hopefully you get to the bottom of this soon and don't let it drive you insane anymore than it is already. Sending a hug 🤗

Yes far better to ask a bunch of strangers 🫠 my bad

Would you be suspicious?

I would be suspicious too..

Ide be thinking a lady on Nightshift he sees before he goes to work.

But... I'm suspicious person.

My ex husband used to work split shifts he had affair for 8 months seeing her between shifts and odd night here n there where he told me he was on Nightshift... Used a separate credit card to pay for everything they did..
I didn't have a clue..
