To be a weeny bit suspicious of DP going to work today?

403 replies

TallDwarf · 17/03/2013 11:09

DP owns his own company along with his business partner. He does sometimes work weekends but its always from home, today he has gone in to work in one of their popular city locations. It was a last minute plan that he announced on Friday. He said he needed a business meeting with his partner, but they're emailing each other every day and see each other at least once a week at work anyway so seemed a bit weird to give up a weekend day for this.

I've emailed him a couple of times this morning but not got a reply, but have had a text from him.

Am I reading too much in to nothing here? Just seems weird to go to work on a Sunday, text me but not read or reply to emails...?

Katie, I don't think there is anything wrong with your instincts.

:o

Branleuse · 18/03/2013 07:18

Im sorry op x

newbiefrugalgal · 18/03/2013 07:34

Searches history of OP, she had talked of trouble with him in the past (aug 12) about shared custody. Also mentioned history of self harm.

Please leave OP alone she does need MN help and RL help.

catchafallingstar · 18/03/2013 07:36

Hmmm.....

FeistyLass · 18/03/2013 07:40

op, I know this is hard but at least he can't talk himself out of this (although he'll probably still try but don't let him). There are a lot of people on MN who can support you through the next steps so if you do need advice or to vent then the Relationships board is a good place to start.

fuzzpig · 18/03/2013 08:02

:(

Hope you tell MIL before he gets to her with his lies.

Put his stuff in bin bags.

Crawling · 18/03/2013 08:03

oh op im so sorry.

LittleBairn · 18/03/2013 08:24

For those that question the wig you must have truly sheltered lives if your s supprised at a women having a wig. Many do for all sorts of reasons such as being Jewish, Alopecia or they just like wearing them.

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 18/03/2013 08:33

I'm really quite saddened at the lack of support from some people on here. OP came on with a serious problem and instead of support received accusations of drip feeding and trolling.

Not on.

Any suspicions should be reported to MNHQ not splashed about on the thread - OP clearly has enough to deal with without people assuming the worst of her.

It's threads like these that make people with issues reticent to post because of the reception they might receive.

Hope you're ok TalkDwarf.

MidnightMasquerader · 18/03/2013 08:38

It's not the owning of a wig that's causing some people to question...

GirlOutNumbered · 18/03/2013 08:39

Is any where safe from the MN judgeypants?

MikeLitoris · 18/03/2013 08:48

Even if this is a work of fiction there will be women reading this going through similar. The witch hunting is going to put people off posting and getting the help they need.

If you have doubts report the thread.

Troll hunting on a thread like this makes you look like a bit of a twat tbh.

LittleBairn · 18/03/2013 08:56

midnight Shock horror people who own wigs wear them. WTF are they supposed to do with them!?

ChocsAwayInMyGob · 18/03/2013 09:02

I think some posters have given the OP a rough ride on here.She was obviously feeling very vulnerable and some people have still been pretty horrible. She's hurting enough. Having posters being horrible can hurt when you're in a good mood, imagine how much it must hurt when your world is falling apart.

By the way, a friend of mine has wigs just to wear different looks. It's pretty common these days, like hair extensions and hairpieces to make a chignon looks bigger etc.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 18/03/2013 09:07

Hope you are OK OP.

Ignore the nasty fuckers.

MidnightMasquerader · 18/03/2013 09:09

Going incognito in a wig to trail your husband is, at best, misguided.

But look, I don't want to make it worse for the OP. I was simply pointing out that it's not the owning/wearing of wigs per se that was making people wonder.

YouTheCat · 18/03/2013 09:10

OP, I hope you are okay.

seriouscakeeater · 18/03/2013 09:11

If this thread is true, the op dh is an utter shite.
I can understand why op slapped him but the shouts of well done of many posters is alarming. If it was dh that slapped op then there would be calls of phone police its assault. what if the restaurant had phoned police?
What if dh had slapped her back? There is never any excuse for violence , sorry, it shouldn't be congratulated.

Puddlelane · 18/03/2013 09:19

You poor thing TD
I know you won't be thinking clearly but sort finances out now as much as you can.
Pack his bags.

I'm so sorry what am awful man.

I would have done exactly the same thing

beginnings · 18/03/2013 09:20

TallDwarf well done for following your instincts, that took real courage. All the very best for the future, especially while you sort all of this out.

HappyHippyChick · 18/03/2013 09:27

I posted a thread a while back and had posters think it sounded unlikely and said so. It did seem far fetched but was absolutely true and although the thread was lighthearted it upset me a bit. I can't imagine how I would feel if I posted something as devestating as this and people were accusing me of trollery.

If you think there is something funny about a thread follow the talk guidelines and report, don't come on a sensitive thread and post your suspicions. As a previous poster put very succinctly - it makes you look like a twat.

Op, I hope you have someone to support you in RL, I am sorry you are going through this, good luck.

Branleuse · 18/03/2013 09:31

ive had posters accuse me of not being real just for diagreeing.

Also people get pissed off and accusatory if the OP doesnt return quick enough to update and fuel their need for gossipy info.

Pure curiosity, rather than caring.

Bloody hell, the more mumsnet I read the sadder I get about how many men think they can behave with such total disregard for their partners.
So sorry your suspicions were correct tall dwarf, take care of yourself
