To feel slightly suspicious of dp

[wwyt]

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?

I love these posters. "A nice Patek, maybe". The sort that pop up to say they've some lovely Maje t shirts for the school run and recommend £70 Nordic sock brands.

I suggest there will be MN'ers reading this thread wondering what a Patek watch is.

Me
Never heard of the brand.

from Google, I'm sorry it's dollars instead of pounds, and the bold is Google too not me.

Is Patek more expensive than Rolex?

Price Points of Comparable High-End Watches

Basic watches, like the Patek Philippe Calatrava, can start at $20,000, while more complex models can reach over $100,000. In contrast, basic watches from brands such as Rolex or Omega typically begin around $5,000 to $10,000.

and my apologies to the Op @wwyt hopefully this ' discussion ' on watches now ends.

This thread has it all

have a look at that fancy watch it’s time to check your self.

What impresses you may not impress someone else.

your basing this on your own personal taste.
for me personally £400 is a hell of a lot of money to spend on a watch. And if my friend/ family member had one I’d be happy for them and point out how nice it is. They clearly will have worked hard to afford such a nice and expensive item. As the op said he is a welder and her a sahm.

when you go out somewhere nice you put on your nicest clothes, shoes etc. so makes sense he would put it on. for most anyway. But you seem to be piles of cash way above us peasants.

😂😂😂

That's your life version. If you think that's cheap. My watch cost £65 and I thought that was expensive. Sometimes we need to change our frame of reference.

😃

Would that be a large suv to go with the watch?

Get off the thread please....haven't you got a watch or ego to go n polish 😃

Huge red flag - been there sadly. You could get a tracker tile put it in his car - see the route? Shame you cant check with his parents - but yeah get your finances in order he's upto no good.

They're actually really ugly watches.
Google them, I doubt you'll be impressed.

@Shade17 desperate for everyone to know she's loaded 😂

Not that expensive - £2.89!

Cool. Another thing to add to the list of things MN(etters) is trying to sell me.

France
Ugly sack dresses
Chopard Brescia rollerball pen
Go Ape!
Patek watches

I think this could be a whole new thread 😂

Meanwhile….@wwyt is wondering why these people are debating the value of watches….and probably spending Friday night with her husband side-eyeing him as he pretends all is well

I can’t believe how crass people are about money on this thread, so cringey considering what OP is going through. ‘Oh £400 watch? I spend that much a day on my hand-woven loo roll made for me personally by the deft little hands of peasant children’.

In all honesty I think most of us were saying the comments were off …

The point here is that op says he wouldn’t wear it unless trying to impress so that is relevant to what he is up to. We can, However, rule out @Shade17 as the other woman I think! There would be no winning her over with that watch🏃🏼‍♀️⌚️

😂😂

Anyone else’s search results now Patek watches, Nordic socks and Chopard Brescia rollerball pen 😂

Thousands of pounds on a watch 😂 fuck me, they saw you coming @Shade17

I suppose someone will be along in a minute to say it’s an investment.
Well so are, y’know, actual investments
