Tell me there's an innocent explanation for this...

Talk me down please.

Been with dp almost 3 years. Lovely guy, good relationship, no doubts whatsoever about him. Both in our late 30s, live together, I have one child from previous relationship. We're happy.

Tomorrow is my sister's birthday. Small party/family meal has been planned - details confirmed about 2 weeks ago. I discussed with dp who said he couldn't make it as he had to work overtime tomorrow and wouldn't be finished until late. Was unsure at what time exactly, but would be late. Overtime isn't uncommon in his workplace, but he doesn't tend to pick it up. We don't need the overtime money. Not well off, but not struggling - managing ok. I thought nothing of it.

Tonight he's gone upstairs for a bath and left his phone on charge in the kitchen. Phone buzzed with a message. It's an iphone where part of the message shows up on the homescreen but it's password protected and I don't know the password. Message said "6:30 suits me. XXXXXX does great french martinis!! ;-) Are you coming straight..." It was from David. I don't know a David. I don't know that he is friends with a David.
I googled the XXXXX place and it's a pub/restaurant place about a 40 minute drive away.

This was about an hour and a half ago.
He's in bed now and I'm sitting here shaking.

Please talk me down. This is innocent, right?

What an absolute coward, with his phone still off. So sorry OP.

Just throw his belongings in the bin before you go out, he can fish them out if he wants them that badly.

Oh op I'm so sorry

PyongyangKipperbang · 12/05/2017 20:35

Oh I am so sorry :(

I would second a pp that said dont get too plastered. He will turn up tomorrow, or quite possibly tonight so if you have a bolt put it on or lock the door with your keys in and turned so he cant let himself in. And when he does turn up, you need to have your head on straight to deal with it.

I hope that OW gives him a dose of the clap and his dick drops off.
