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

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...?

Sad hope its all ok

rhondajean · 17/03/2013 17:26

I think brave. And I hope wrong.

Good luck op.

Squiglettsmummy2bx · 17/03/2013 17:27

Hope it turns out to be nothing.

GreenEggsAndNichts · 17/03/2013 17:28

Oh dear. Hope things go well.

Agree with everlong, I'll be surprised if he's at the hotel he said he'd be at, if there is another woman involved.

freddiemisagreatshag · 17/03/2013 17:30

I hope it's all a terrible misunderstanding.

TallDwarf · 17/03/2013 17:31

I don't think he will be suspicious of me coming up. I don't drive and I'm not really a spur of the moment type of person. He seemed pretty convinced by me anyway.

His restaurant reservation is booked for 8.30 so I'm going to try get there for 8.10 and hide in a corner at the bar. This is going to make me sound insane but I've put on a wig and got some big glasses to wear! It's weird but I'm getting a bit of a thrill from all this. Think I'm just hoping I've got it wrong.

Hope you're ok op

morethanpotatoprints · 17/03/2013 17:32

I hope you are ok OP and everything is ok.

Has anybody suggested that the client he needs to get on board his business in a woman. I'm not saying this is acceptable but maybe a partner turning up in this circumstance could be seen as unprofessional, for either sex.
I can remember having dinner with a male client, many years ago and the thought of dh meeting me would have been unacceptable.

However, the reaction was a bit suspicious, i'd have explained more.

StuffezLaBouche · 17/03/2013 17:33

What?! You're not really going to wear a wig and insane glasses, are you? Getting a thrill?! I am confused. If I thought my long term partner was planning a secret shag in a hotel I would be devastated.

it was the fact he didn't stay calm about you coming over to the hotel that put the final nail in the coffin - something is going on that shouldn't be happening.

TobyLerone · 17/03/2013 17:34

How do you know about all his plans, OP? Which restaurant/hotel etc?

TallDwarf · 17/03/2013 17:35

I wear wigs a lot, just didn't want him to recognise my normal hair and face. I don't mean a good thrill...it's hard to explain. It's like a thrilling sicky feeling.

He said it was a man, so if I see him turn up with a woman then I know he's lying.

WTF?

WipsGlitter · 17/03/2013 17:36

What are you going to do at the hotel in both scenarios? Ie if it a work dinner - are you going to try and slope off unseen, if its not innocent are you going to confront. My DP frequently doesn't answer emails I send him at work because he's busy.

middleagedspread · 17/03/2013 17:37

But what if it's a totally innocent meeting & he spies you in the corner dressed in a disguise?

StuffezLaBouche · 17/03/2013 17:37

Sorry, I'm being slow. I thought you rang him and said your were coming over to have a nice evening with him. So surely he will be expecting you? Or was the upshot of that him saying not to come?

ivykaty44 · 17/03/2013 17:37

we had a couple having an affair - this was before mobile phones were used widely and so they had two rooms with inter connecting door - then when her husband phoned she would answer in her room - when his wife phoned he answered in his room.

they both gave hotel and room numbers to their spouses, they thought they had it sewn up. But his wife turned up one day and caught him out.

We knew cause she asked for his room number - we can't give out room numbers to anyone including anyone who says they are a wife - she did still catch him out though.

TallDwarf · 17/03/2013 17:38

I took a guess and rang our favourite restaurants asking what time the table was booked for under his surname. Pretty distinctive surname so I'm hoping I've not got that bit wrong as well. I didn't strike lucky with any of the hotels so the restaurant is my only option. He wouldn't tell me which one he was booked in.

I don't think TD is getting a thrill, adrenaline more likely.

Very suspicious Hmm

LandofTute · 17/03/2013 17:40

Sorry to say that whenever i have known someone who has had suspicions about their dh he has always turned out to be having an affair. I hope that is not the case for you. Are you hoping he won't recognise you if you wear the wig and glasses then? It makes it sound comical which it isn't.

Loulybelle · 17/03/2013 17:40

Stuffez OP suggested meeting him and he went mental at the suggestion, thats made her more suspicious.
