Is my Husband Hiding Something?

My husband is acting weird... I think he might be planning a birthday party for another woman!

Hello all, today I wish to share my, rather odd experience that I face at this current moment. Well, where do I begin?

It all started, when I was in the kitchen getting my morning cup of coffee, on the kitchen bench was a printer (Only there temporary as we are still shopping for a cabinet) when a HUGE birthday banner came out of the thing! I was so confused, it’s June, however, my birthday is in September! I did some research, and NONE of our relatives have any birthdays in June!

The banner said something along the lines of, Happy Birthday Julie! I was so shocked. There are no Julies’ in his work. So on the day (June 3rd) When the party was supposed to be happening I said I wanted to go out for dinner. But my husband said he was ‘busy’ and wanted to hang out with his friends. What do I do?

So what happened? Did you husband go out? How long for? Did you ask him about the banner?

ChumpMummy · 05/06/2019 12:15

No, I haven't Gone out yet. Just Looking for some advice

Maybe he's printing it on behalf of someone else? Just ask him

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 12:17

Also how do you know the party is 3rd June?

HollowTalk · 05/06/2019 12:18

Why didn't you say, "Who's this for?"

Citygirl2019 · 05/06/2019 12:19

It's now 5th June so when did this happen?

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 12:20

What happened on the night then? Did he go out with his friends or go to party with this mystery woman?

SparklyMagpie · 05/06/2019 12:22

Well considering it's the 5th June, what happened?

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 12:24

You said "I think be might be planning a party" but it's also apparently already happened?
But you also somehow knew the date of it?

paddington34 · 05/06/2019 12:25

This doesn't make sense why didn't you ask him who it was for? Why would he print a banner at home when you are there if he's having an affair?

HiItsClemFandango · 05/06/2019 12:26

How did you know what date the party was happening?

LemonTT · 05/06/2019 12:28

Well I would have assumed someone asked him to print it. Not a work person as they would have better printers than at home.

So ask, but if you can’t ask you need to identify why that is. We can guess but ...Like others have pointed out the chain of events and what happened is confused. What did the banner actually say. Was it a banner or just a page. Did he got out. Why are you suspicious.

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 12:28

If it just randomly and suddenly came out of the printer, then presumably your husband was somewhere in the house having just printed it. Why didn't you ask him then?

peachgreen · 05/06/2019 12:34

Who puts the date of the birthday on the banner?

wornoutboots · 05/06/2019 12:38

could it have been emailed in toyour printer from elsewhere by mistake.

I could email my last printer from anywhere, as long as it was turned on thenit would print what I'd sent

hmsvictory · 05/06/2019 12:46

Did your husband come down and collect it from the printer? Did you leave it there? Where is the banner?

cantfindname · 05/06/2019 12:53

This doesn't even begin to make sense. Started like a crime novel and fizzled into nothing in no time at all. Grin

EmeraldRubyShark · 05/06/2019 12:55

This is hilarious, what on Earth advice are you looking for? You write like a journo!

I feel like OP isn't coming back

ChumpMummy · 05/06/2019 13:49

I was just over at one of his friends' house and he was convinced that we were getting a divorce. Apparently, he saw my husband with another woman. When he confronted him about it Husband said we were split up. Husbands currently at work and I'm not sure what to do. We have two beautiful children and I want to have a nice family but things aren't working out as I hoped. Should I go through his phone when he comes back from work?

ClandestineAdulation · 05/06/2019 13:50

Why go through his phone?? Just speak to him...

What other evidence is there?

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 13:55

This makes absolutely no sense

Divinelyuninspired · 05/06/2019 13:58

So what happened on June 3rd?

simplekindoflife · 05/06/2019 13:59

But how did you know the date?

Why didn't you ask him about it?

Did you ask if you could go out with him too? Where did he say he was going? I would've been tempted to follow him.

Check his phone OP, look up the name Julie. Has he got FB?
