Is my Husband Hiding Something?

106 replies

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?

Husband went out to 'party' but I'm not sure because the friend talked to has a history of lying. If I could go through his phone I might find some text messages then I'd know for sure.

So your husband apparently told someone you'd split up - don't go through his phone ffs, or follow him Hmm
Just tell him what his friend said and ask him to tell the truth.

Peculiar!!!!

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 14:02

I'm still confused, what's the significance of the banner coming out the printer then

BrainScience · 05/06/2019 14:05

So a banner came out of a printer which confused you because it’s not your birthday for a few months. Didn’t the fact it said ‘Julie’ on it suggest it wasn’t for you? Why didn’t you just say ‘whys there a ‘happy birthday for 3rd June, Julie’ banner coming out of the printer?’

BrainScience · 05/06/2019 14:05

Also how did he print a banner out? It takes me half a day to format something onto A4 for my printer.

Get looking for bank statements while he is out. Jacket pockets. Sports bag. Anywhere his stuff is that you wouldn't usually look through.

KOKOtiltomorrow · 05/06/2019 14:06

Hate threads like this .... OP if you are genuine, please come back and answer questions

angrymum420 · 05/06/2019 14:08

bby he aint worth it. jus confront 'im and if hes a bad 'un, hes a bad 'un Wine Grin

WheresTheWineHey · 05/06/2019 14:11

So confused.
a - you have a title and a subtitle within your post
b - why didn't you just ask him
c - it sounds like you're just looking for a reason to go through his phone
d - you don't sound particularly distraught or worried
e - why the eff are you asking us rather than just texting or calling your DH and asking him a very simple and non-accusatory question
f - who on earth puts a date on a birthday banner
g - what's with the tenses mix-up? 3rd June but still planning the party?

I'm sure there are answers to all these questions, and if you can clarify, we may be able to offer some advice....

Doesitevenmatternow · 05/06/2019 14:22

What is this gibberish?

TixieLix · 05/06/2019 14:36

Your husband isn't the only one acting weird. This is one of the strangest posts I've read in a while. You seem to be one of those posters (and there seems to be loads of them lately) who open a thread asking for advice, and when it generates lots of questions, you duly bugger off and don't answer them.

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 14:39

I'm not sure OP is even asking for advice based on the fact that nothing she says makes sense or adds up

I'm sorry I haven't answered many questions- I have a lot on my plate right now. I talked to my Husband and he started yelling over the phone. I'm now at my Mother's house and I have the children with me. I am meeting Husband tomorrow and we are going to try to sort things out. Though I'm not sure what to tell my children (13 and 10). They are worried but I don't want to incriminate their dad in any way. What shall I do?

Did he go to the party then?

QueenBeex · 05/06/2019 14:50

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

^^^^^^

mumofwantwomany · 05/06/2019 14:51

We can't tell you what to do because the way you're telling us this is confusing and parts of it don't really make sense.

What don't you want to 'incriminate' your husband over? The fact you thought he's planning a surprise party that's already happened (?), the fact he was seen with another woman, or the fact that he told his friend you'd split up? Why was he yelling at you? We need more information

QueenBeex · 05/06/2019 14:53

Ok so your question is is my husband hiding something?

Reading this part of what you said - 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 tells me he obviously is hiding the fact you are still very much together.

ChumpMummy · 05/06/2019 14:53

I don't Want my kids thinking any less of their Father and I want them to make their own mind

Pantsomime · 05/06/2019 14:54

Why aren’t your kids in school .......

ChumpMummy · 05/06/2019 14:55

I was unaware of him thinking we had split when I started this thread.
