Surprising dh but now he’s suspicious!!

Dh works away Monday-Thursday. He works very hard and he’s not had any time off during the pandemic. Dh mentioned a few times that he would like to get his wheels refurbished and spray painted a darker colour on his bmw (his pride and joy) last week I decided to get them done and arranged for the company to collect the wheels yesterday so that when he comes home Thursday he will be happy and surprised. We have a camera facing our cars on the drive and I was worried he would see and spoil the surprise so I went from behind the camera and moved it to a position that didn’t face the cars or our front door. This was 9am yesterday morning, about half an hour later DH called to say someone had been in our garden and tampered with the camera I explained it was me and that it had made a noise so I adjusted it, he didn’t fall for that and he became suspicious asking if our son age 12 was up I said no (he’s a pre teen 9am too early for him) anyway he made me feel like I’d brought a fella back at 9am with my 3 kids in the house!! I ended up telling him he’d spoilt the surprise and I hung up on him I was so angry. Haven’t spoken to him since just the odd txt,I’m so annoyed but I kind of get why he was suspicious but I meant well 🤦‍♀️

The man who works away from home suddenly jumps to you having an illicit affair.. 🤔 deflective behaviour or what! 😳

@Ughmaybenot I agree with you, it’s my fault.

If the camera is a new addition, I get the often checking (men and new toys 😁). Honestly your reaction was a bit childish. No matter how secure we are, we all have a lapse here and there. You should have just said it's a surprise, pls don't ask me more questions, as you'll guess it. Much ado about nothing in my opinion.
