To feel slightly suspicious of dp

969 replies

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?

@wwyt Did you manage to find out any more? I don’t mean to trivialise your problem i genuinely feel for you but I have also been wondering if you have found out anymore? I know it would be eating me up
hoping you find out it’s all innocent

A thing that causes something else to happen. So I guess in this instance something like wealthy people having money in the bank and it causes them to get more in interest?!

Come on op! Attend to your thread!

It was an initial typo. It got corrected but the url retained the typo.

You could have edited it.

Oh god….for gods sake….are you this fun in real life?

I did ask for it to be edited. It was edited. It’s a thread title. You can’t self edit. MN has to. So they did. But the URL (which is the link) can’t be edited or it will break and you won’t be able to use it.

I hope that clears things up and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful Sunday hun xx

I have another theory - how do you know for sure that it’s his parents house if you have no relationship with them, have you ever been or seen proof they live there? He could have been having an affair with someone who lives there and they’ve had a child and that’s why he’s going every morning ?!!

AngelicKaty · 06/10/2024 22:52

@wwyt Any updates OP? Did you go for a walk last Friday morning? How did your DP react knowing his departure from your house was going to be delayed?

ooopsinamechangedagain · 07/10/2024 12:27

Any updates op is he still heading out early?

ConnemaraMare · 07/10/2024 12:46

@Alwaysinamood that’s an interesting thought! Do you write? Not being sarcastic, I admire your thinking.

Alwaysinamood · 07/10/2024 18:16

@ConnemaraMare I used to write but not as much now! But this thread has definitely got me thinking!
Love the username, I was actually in Connemara two weeks ago!

Please write the book. I want to know what happens!

It might be a nice plotline from a book, but the OP talks about his parents street, about her DH knowing all the neighbours and growing up there as a child. She might be NC with his parents now but she wasn't originally (eg his mum was rude to her about having put on weight). So I would imagine she certainly has in the past been to their house!

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

Is that not what this forum is for? Also, her post title is “to feel slightly suspicious about DP” must have missed what you’re talking about 🤷🏽‍♀️

Disappearedwife · 10/10/2024 21:26

This popped up on my threads list and I was hoping for an update but based on the post below yours it seems like it was just more tedious calling troll

AIBU to obsess over this thread and let it keep me awake at night? 😆
I NEED to know what happened! (sorry not meaning to be insensitive to OP but my curiosity is off the scale)
