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?

Arf at "what show was dusty bin on"

ALittleStranger · 02/02/2014 13:42

It can be read either way, there are plenty of plausible reasons to think it is an attempt to get an OW up to his room (they tried to sneak out and meet in a lobby, she got waylaid, he went upstairs, he's not putting kisses because they're still at the stage of pretending 'it just happened' etc), but equally he could be telling workmates to knock for breakfast.

The only thing we do know is that the OP is worried enough to have posted. If the relationship was completely secure her spidey senses wouldn't have been triggered by this, but for some reason she's got doubts. I hope the OP still feels able to engage with this thread with all the pages of conjecture going on.

I think the OP is perfectly entitled to mention it to her husband and guage his reaction. Even in a completely secure relationship I'd still mention a rogue text message. Why not ask in a lighthearted way why he was drunkenly booty calling you?

I've got it! His evening was spent with everyone trying to remember the area code for the Kennedy Space Centre...he went to bed and Googled it! Grin

StealthPolarBear · 02/02/2014 13:59

It is funny but you know what drunken conversations are like it could actually be something like the dusty bin thing! I've sent texts to people that make no sense out of context. Sure we all have.

Nah, definitely not dodgy. If he was having a shagathon it would be an all nighter not from two O'clock onwards surely? Perhaps that says more about me than the OPs Husband though?

I think you can relax, it was to a mate saying what room to knock on when brekky is being served I am sure.

makesamesswhenstressed · 02/02/2014 14:25

Have you spoken to him yet OP?

Quitelikely · 02/02/2014 16:05

Oooooopeeeee

Please update!

kitsmummy · 02/02/2014 16:13

I think it's suspicious

PlasmaBall · 02/02/2014 16:19

Oh yes, of course Dinnae has it. If this was a rare opportunity to spend the night with an OW, they'd have been in bed long before 2am.

stickysausages · 02/02/2014 16:20

Hope all ok OP

MerryWinterfel · 02/02/2014 16:21

I hope your ok OP.

CheeseStrawWars · 02/02/2014 16:23

"If I got that I'd assume a text saying where are you etc, and what room do we charge drinks to? Especially if he is a manager."

^^ This.

PlasmaBall · 02/02/2014 16:34

In that case Cheese 321's probably not his room number at all Grin

GatoradeMeBitch · 02/02/2014 16:35

And I would interpret it as him passing on a room number to someone in case they wanted to go up, maybe for a card game, or someone having a bit of a party in their room? Might not be bad at all.

Trills · 02/02/2014 16:41

I don't think it's suspicious. There are lots of reasons why you would want to give your hotel room number to a colleague.

About half the people on this thread don't seem to know what "lol" means...

Pawprint · 02/02/2014 16:42

I would just ask him about it.

Marnieshere · 02/02/2014 16:46

Maybe he's reminding a drunk colleague of their room number?

Jemma1111 · 02/02/2014 18:10

What reason did he give you OP ?

lilolilmanchester · 02/02/2014 18:44

Sorry if someone's already asked this , but what was the last text you sent him before receiving that one ? Just incase in your panic you've overlooked that it might actually be intended for you?

Somersetlady · 02/02/2014 19:47

Hoping that he is now home and there was a perfectly reasonable explanation that has put your mind at rest.

ToffeeOwnsTheSausage · 02/02/2014 19:51

There was another poster who received a text from her husband that was meant for his bit on the side. She had a few threads and had loads of support and last time I "saw" her was doing really well without this twat dragging her down. His classy text? "Get your tits out I'm on my way." AngryHmm.
