Husband searching for day use hotels..

Hi,

So my husband has been a bit 'offy' and just not seeming him.

Curiosity got the best of me and I found he had been searching for hotels to stay in during the day. As in during his work hours.

Thinking the worst. Am I right, or could there be an explanation?

Not brought it up with him just yet, but I have taken photos of the searches.

Not looking good, also think you need to lie low for now and be super alert; anyone who is secretive with their phone esp taking it to the loo etc is usually always up to no good!

CountessVonBoobs · 15/01/2019 16:12

Oh for Christ's sake Daily Mirror. This isn't even an unusual scenario (sadly). Fuck right off with you.

And I'm still having a hard time thinking about how he would innocently explain having been looking for a day-use hotel room for last Wednesday.

It's actually very difficult to lie convincingly when you're being confronted face to face by someone who knows you well, when you're not prepared for it.

Ask for the thread to be deleted.

letterbox · 15/01/2019 16:19

Thanks everyone.

Total utter wankers for 'writing' about this. As if someone actually gets paid to report on this.

I will try and update a different way.

Is it best to now get this deleted?

Sorry the papers picked up on this. Just a thought but I wondered if a legitimate reason might be booking a room for a jetlagged client? Obviously a bit of a long shot if they would likely have a PA etc. I have a work and personal phone but would occasionally use the "wrong" one of the other is out of battery or the reception is poor. Hoping there is an innocent explanation for you.

Closetbeanmuncher · 15/01/2019 16:20

Most likely hes using prostitutes....Or daytime sexual encounters with someone in a relationship.....

There is no other reason or need to do this.

Whatever you do don't confront him now, you'll never get the truth by asking...

cuppycakey · 15/01/2019 16:22

It sounds really fishy, sorry Sad

FUCK OFF DAILY MIRROR

DBML · 15/01/2019 16:25

I’m sorry OP. I really hope there is a reasonable explanation, but I’d jump to the same conclusions as you.
I’d tell him I know EVERYTHING and would like to hear it from him...starting with the hotel room. Act like you know as he tells you and prompt him for the rest.
Sending hugs x

Purplecatshopaholic · 15/01/2019 16:26

I am so sorry OP - its hard when you realise you are married to a fuckwit (been there). And probably not worth having 'the conversation' about it (or many of them), he will lie. (Onwards and upwards! You are worth more

Myusername101z · 15/01/2019 16:27

If you have WhatsApp save the number on your phone as a contact then look at the contact they should have a profile picture

Stephisaur · 15/01/2019 16:27

Sorry that the papers picked up on this!

However, could you use that article as a way to start the conversation with him?

“Ugh, listen to this. Apparently, a woman discovered that her partner was looking at hotel room for during the day?!”

That might be a stupid idea, but there’s nothing tying the article to you and he probably assumes he won’t get caught so it could be a way to grave his reaction.

Flowers for you.

iPhones can track places too:

Settings>privacy >location services>System services

You can see dates and locations quite accurately

Eliza9917 · 15/01/2019 16:41

A woman has expressed her horror after discovering that her husband has been searching for 'day use' hotels online - and doesn't know what to do next.

Just looked at the DM link. This is their first sentence. How the fuck is that even news????

This is the headline: Woman's horror after discovering husband has been searching for 'day use' hotels

Lovemusic33 · 15/01/2019 16:44

Daily Mail are such wankers, do they not realise that they could put people at risk by outing them?? It shouldn’t be allowed.

OP, I hope this thread gets taken down for you and I wish you luck in finding more evidence (if there is any).

daftbat2019 · 15/01/2019 16:44

Hate to say it, but day use hotels are often used for secret liaisons. My male friend had several affairs via the Illicit Encounters website (men pay and women list for free, so you may want to do a search that way?). He always used day use hotels as they are often quite classy hotels which rent out their rooms between times such as 10 and 6pm.
He also had a secret phone kept at the office. Apparently this is common practice with people having affairs.
Before anyone starts, my male friend is divorcing a violent wife...

hellsbellsmelons · 15/01/2019 16:46

If you manage to get into his phone, then check his battery usage.
That will tell you where he spends most of his time.
Even if deletes the apps.

yorkiemummy · 15/01/2019 16:50

I really hope there is a genuine reason OP. Hugs Thanks

letterbox · 15/01/2019 16:54

Thanks everyone. Feel a bit unsure at responding now. Will try get deleted and update another way.

Thanks for the advice. Will look at the battery usage too!

Why is this even news!!!? Fuck off you lazy journos- Jesus Christ why take away someone's support?

Utter wankers. That's you mirror. 💩

VirtuallyConfused · 15/01/2019 17:01

I looked at booking day use hotels, but couldn't find any, so he may not have gone through with it.

In terms of contact, most social media apps have a public face and a direct messaging function. It's possible to have an affair via linked in, so easy to hide.

Also look for secured folders on phone, you can hide entire apps in there

Layoverlife · 15/01/2019 17:04

@letterbox... Apologies if I've caused you any upset/ stress etc then you're already feeling,
I just saw you're post in the paper and thought you should know Flowers

glx · 15/01/2019 17:10

This may be a long shot, but if you have young family & have had some stresses together, could be looking into it for the two? Time together without the babysitting etc?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm · 15/01/2019 17:28

@letterbox

I think you will be able to find out from his iPhone where he was last Wednesday (see my post above), but only if his location settings are on.

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 15/01/2019 17:32

Daily mirror - this is some ones real life glad you find it so fucking hiliarous.
