Dodgy text msg from DH....not meant for me

208 replies

fedupandexhausted · 02/02/2014 07:57

My husband is away this weekend on a works conference.... The whole company is there.

I've woken up to a text saying 'lol...have had to come up. It's 321'.

I feel a bit sick but am I reading too much into this?

Personally then I'd call, ask for room 321 and say "just to check i've got the right room number, is Mr [your DHs name] staying in that room?" you can always just hang up if they say yes and not be put through, or if they say no say, sorry for the mix up, could they put you through to Mr [dh's name] room - then again hang up.

Agree with ken. It doesn't sound like a rendezvous to me, more like work mates chatting.

I still don't see why you don't just text him and say 'this wasn't meant for me'.

LightastheBreeze · 02/02/2014 08:45

Looks like a reply to a mate, with lol and the room number and they are probably drunk. That is why you got the text as he couldn't see properly to send to right person. He's probably crashed out now. It doesn't look like a text to a woman especially not someone you might fancy.

StealthPolarBear · 02/02/2014 08:46

So it's definitely room no. Doesn't mean dodgy. Could be "have you gone up to bed you lightweight? What room are you in and we'll wake you up for breakfast"

DontmindifIdo · 02/02/2014 08:46

but to me it doesn't sound like anything dodgey, if he was trying to pull someone else he was doing a crap job if he wandered off and left them in the main hotel alone.

AliceinWinterWonderland · 02/02/2014 08:47

The hotel will not confirm the name of the guest in a room. Against policy, I would imagine.

BeeInYourBonnet · 02/02/2014 08:47

If it were my DH I'd be thinking along the same line as kenadams .

However, saying that, when he got home I probably would lightheartedly say think you sent me a text intended for your girlfriend, haha!

Mishmashfamily · 02/02/2014 08:48

op if I was you I would stop reading the comments on here now. The majority say, it's probably innocent but the few that say it's dodgy will be the ones that stay in your mind and make you Ill.

I don't think there is anything in it. I remember seeing a dodgy email of a lady on dp email when we where on holiday and went batshit I was convinced he had been cheating on me but when I went through his whole entire phone < which he readily agreed to> email,facebook,messages it's was clear it was spam. For that half hour though I was sick!

Don't expect the worst.

Quitelikely · 02/02/2014 08:48

I think you need to ask him what room he is in. If its 321 then he is telling someone what room he is in. No doubt about that. What you need to know is why was he telling them that at 2 in the morning.

If he was going up with a woman he might of just told her at dinner his room number. Or maybe they were so drunk they forgot to tell each other. Or maybe it's nothing!

Quitelikely · 02/02/2014 08:50

And honestly I'm not trying to upset you. But you ought to put your own mind at rest really by asking him.......

LoveBeingCantThinkOfAName · 02/02/2014 08:50

I've been on lots of work things and have probay sent that text a couple times - have never shagged anyone at them!!! Generally I've always called for someone on the way to breakfast or had someone call for me.

SolomanDaisy · 02/02/2014 08:50

I'd have read it as three to one, like the colleagues were having some sort of joke arguments. It doesn't sound suspicious to me at all.

I work at a Hotel. If someone rings and asked for Mr Brown, id not mention the room number.

If someone rang and asked to be put through to.rm 321, id ask them to confirm the name on the reservation and only transfer of they botg matched.

Dont know if that helps.

AuntieStella · 02/02/2014 08:55

Sorry to cut in - what does DSFTC stand for?

Thisisaghostlyeuphemism · 02/02/2014 08:57

I would feel sick too. Who needs his room number at 2am?

I'd wait til he comes back and then see what he says.

hootloop · 02/02/2014 08:57

It doesn't sound dodgy to me, but then unlike most of mumsnet I actually trust my husband.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 02/02/2014 08:57

DSFTC - Don't stand for this crap.

fedup - is your H in the UK or abroad at present?. It could well be a time because if he is somewhere in Europe that would be one hour ahead of UK time. Most devices remain on UK time unless altered by the user.

headlesslambrini · 02/02/2014 08:58

I thought it was a drinking game when I read it.

AuntieStella · 02/02/2014 08:59

Thanks, Attila

MyNameIsKenAdams · 02/02/2014 09:00

Same Hoot.

Id always go with the non-bastard explaination first and work from there.

MyNameIsKenAdams · 02/02/2014 09:01

Also, if it was to a possible shag, thered be a kiss or a wink on there

LightastheBreeze · 02/02/2014 09:02

If the whole company was there I don't think he would be having some illicit liaison and risk everyone knowing.

mscnile · 02/02/2014 09:07

I'd just text back 'eh?'
Lots of over thinking going on here!

Quinteszilla · 02/02/2014 09:07

If it was a shag, he would not have gone up alone without letting the other person know that he went, or where he went.

I reckon he just went to bed.
