Airbnb confirmation-think dh cheating?

36 replies

Ivyholly · 19/11/2017 15:40

My dh has been unfaithful in the past, and swears it's all over. I'm working through things deciding whether to try again and I still don't trust him so checked his texts on his phone. There was a text in September from airbnb - it was a 4 digit confirmation code. We've never used airbnb as a family/couple so I don't know why they'd send one but suspect it's to confirm a booking-can anyone tell me if that's the case, please?
Thank you

What would happen if you asked him to look at his phone straight away?

I'll never get my hands on his phone again and I don't know any of his passwords.

Leave.

You only get one life, don't spend yours in torture like this for a man clearly worth jack shit.

He's cheating - or trying to. You can stay or leave, that's you choice and you'll have your reasons for staying (which is fine, by the way, many people stay with a cheat) but be honest with yourself that he isn't faithful and protect yourself from STIs.

(Also, if I was guilty of cheating and wanted my partner to stay because I really regretted it then my partner would have access to every phone, text, email account, letter that they wanted. That is, imho, a normal reaction from someone who made a mistake.)

It is the verificaiton process to set up an account but the only reason really for setting up an account is to make a booking. So i dont think it changes anything.

You know really what he's up to.....

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 19/11/2017 17:16

It's so not for us as he knows I would not even go for a coffee with him let alone a night away In that case why are you still there?

Recently used airb&b for the first time. You have to use a code to log into your account for the first time. Not for confirmation of a booking.

It is over when there is no trust.

2 types of cheat:

  1. Does it once - regrets it and spends forever trying to make it up to you. Gives you their phone, email everything and takes time to build trust back up ans shows you how much they regret it.
  1. The one who wipes his phone clean, has a second phone, gets angry if you even "dare to question" HIM and blames you for his cheating and your lack of trust in HIM.

I think your DH is number 2 - sorry.

I've never had a code while booking. I would assume that he was setting up an account. Next time you are alone with his phone try looking for the app/go to the mobile website to see if he's logged. That way you will be able to see whether he has made if cancelled any bookings.

I get a code when logging in from a new device - eg ipad or laptop. It's to verify that it's a genuine log in and a code gets sent to my phone.

I don't know if that info helps at all.
