Husband taking an Uber at strange time

203 replies

YoMommasMomma · 30/05/2018 13:54

I was away from home this weekend with my DD and when we returned I saw an emailed receipt from Uber (my husband uses my laptop to check his email and leaves himself logged on, we are very open with passwords and use each other computer/phone) which showed that he got a taxi from our house to another address about 15 mins away at 12:10am in the morning.

I am concerned as this seems very odd. The questions in my mind are - he has a car so why didn't he drive if he was going to meet a friend? He said he didn't go out that night (sometimes he goes to meet friends for a few drinks when we are away) so why is he lying? Did he have someone over to our house and pay for their cab home? This would be odd if it was a friend as they all drive and why would he pay for their taxi? I am worrying that he had another women over and paid for her cab home.

There was also a half drunk glass of baileys in the kitchen when I returned and it was in a wine glass. He does drink baileys but would usually drink it from a normal glass.

It is all very strange and I know I have to ask him and I am sure there is a reasonable explanation but worried there isn't one.

I also feel so pathetic for even typing this right now. I guess I really just wanted peoples opinions to see if you also think this is suspicious and if you has any ideas for what to do, other than just ask him about it. Thank you.

Good luck OP. I know that anxious, panicky sick feeling all too well. Hope there's a viable explanation for you Thanks

Billybigballs123 · 30/05/2018 19:18

Good luck op x

LemonysSnicket · 30/05/2018 19:19

Well the baileys explains why he or friend couldn't drive quite easily to me.

KateGrey · 30/05/2018 19:22

Good luck

twotallgiraffes · 30/05/2018 19:32

Ohh I hope there's a good explanation for this. I hate reading posts like this. Always feel so sad for the op.

rollingonariver · 30/05/2018 19:40

I feel like people are jumping to a lot of conclusions here. I hope it's okay op.

HollowTalk · 30/05/2018 19:53

I hope it's nothing, OP. It looks suspicious but until you hear what he has to say, it's all conjecture.

MrsMozart · 30/05/2018 19:57

Hoping it has an innocent outcome.

SandyY2K · 30/05/2018 20:08

Why do people think he'd tell the truth if he was cheating? This just tips them and they can make an excuse up.

Puttingthefootdown · 30/05/2018 20:11

You're playing your hand too quickly. He would never come clean.

YoMommasMomma · 30/05/2018 20:22

I appreciate you all taking the time to reply. I haven't asked him yet, can't quite bring myself to ask the question and I know I will end up apologising for asking somehow

Blahdeblah123 · 30/05/2018 20:24

I really hope it turns out ok. Please stay calm and don't jump to conclusions. Surely if he was having an affair he would have been more careful at covering things up. If he knows uber send receipts there is no way he would have not deleted that email, and similarly if you are shagging someone in your family home you would say up the evidence xx

Treacletoots · 30/05/2018 20:32

If you can hold it together, please dont ask him until you've managed to find out a bit more. If he's done something wrong,and it looks that way, he'll lie through his teeth.

Private detective?

BettyBaggins · 30/05/2018 20:40

I would snoop a little more first to be honest or start a convo about having friends over, 'when was the last time we had friends over dp?'

Visitor came under own steam. Was there only 1 glass? Other cup, glass? Empty? Whats in the bin? Visitor left via uber. Husband didnt go out, hence not lied.

You have pretty open access to his online stuff, you could snoop further. Or the suggestion about uber hacking as an opening convo?

Op if he is cheating he may well whitewash this and make you feel stupid for asking. Could it just be a friend that came by?

Mummyontherocks · 30/05/2018 20:46

Don't let him make you feel bad for asking, it is perfectly reasonable to have seen it and to want to question it, it is highly suspicious, xx

veggifriedbreakfast · 30/05/2018 21:05

Why would you apologise? Just ask it or you'll drive yourself crazy.

Pinkyponkcustard · 30/05/2018 21:10

Hope it’s all an innocent explanation op Flowers

letsdolunch321 · 30/05/2018 21:16

Prolonging asking won’t make the answer you may get any easier

FireInTheMole · 30/05/2018 21:16

I too would do more digging. But if you ask him tonight don't let him veer off the point and have you apologising for looking at the email. You need answers and peace of mind. Good luck

CantankerousCamel · 30/05/2018 21:27

Hope there is a reasonable explanation OP

BettyBeer · 30/05/2018 21:38

I know it is hard to ask but you are only prolonging it.
You can't not ask and carry on as it will eat away at you.

Do you think you might not be asking because you don't actually want to hear he answer or deal with whatever it is?

I get it but you need to just get it over with.

Just ask what he did on Saturday night and if he doesn't say anything about Uber then you know he's lying

Sparklesanddiamomdsforever · 30/05/2018 21:42

Just come straight out with it Flowers

PetalMettle · 30/05/2018 21:47

Hmmm. I think I’d probably snoop more tbh

winterisstillcoming · 30/05/2018 21:47

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but could he have sent someone home in an Uber? Is that possible? Or sent something to someone? I'm not sure what but there are a whole number of scenarios here.

Barbaro · 30/05/2018 21:51

If you have access to online banking for his accounts, check to see if money was withdrawn the same day the tax was booked or day before. Could suggest it was a prostitute.

But you should ask him however hard it is. Sorry op.
