What would you make of this

What would you make of this?
Husband takes the dog on an uncharacteristically early walk without waking wife. Soon after, wife wakes and decides to run to the park thinking that she might meet them on their return. Wife meets husband and dog on their return stretch of the park. On turning around to join husband on the return journey, wife sees a couple in the far distance, exiting the area. The woman of the couple is a woman who the wife has previously suspected her husband of having an affair with. The man of the couple is this OW's husband. While walking away, OW looks around once directly at husband, dog, and wife, turns her head back, then immediately turns to look again and holds the stare for a few seconds. OW's husband is walking alongside her but does not look back.
Wife continues her conversation with husband, pretending not to have seen the other couple.

I’d wonder what the wife was doing with him if she was so suspicious. Clearly they weren’t shagging in the park her husband was there.

Hmm What?

Sassypants82 · 28/11/2020 14:42

So you suspected your DH of having an affair with OW. You go to the park, to meet your husband, whose alone with dog and OW and her husband are exiting the park and she looks at you?

Opentooffers · 28/11/2020 14:42

I'd think, if already asked husband and had no confirmation, could be an option to ask her DH as seems he's in on something. However, if it's a weird threesome situation, all likely to deny. Alternatively, could all be another explanation, but you need to ask to find out.

Correct.

Ok this is a level of suspicion seldom seen.

Are you thinking they had a secret meet up or something?

Opentooffers · 28/11/2020 14:46

What evidence made you think he's had an affair?

hotpotlover · 28/11/2020 14:48

Paranoiaaaaa

user1745632169 · 28/11/2020 14:48

Have you been especially isolated during lockdown? Because I think you have slightly lost perspective and rationality.

My first thought - like the post above - was that they are in some strange threesome. Having checked out the OW's husband on social media, I have discounted this. I am now wondering if it was a secret meet up that was scuppered by the coincidence of both other partners'. Is that more likely?

If this was a man, it would be deemed as incredibly controlling and paranoid

Bluntness100 · 28/11/2020 14:51

No op. None of it is likely. I have to be honest there. You’re really reaching.

What makes you think he’s having an affair?

Mermaidwaves · 28/11/2020 14:52

Husband and OW decide to meet clandestinely in the park, husband pretends he's taking the dog for a walk. OW's husband is also suspicious so follows her to the park and catches them. You also follow and discover all three of them?

justanotherneighinparadise · 28/11/2020 14:52

Why would the OW take her husband to a secret meeting?

MrsGrindah · 28/11/2020 14:52

Blimey that’s a reach that would make Anthony Joshua jealous!

@Opentooffers

Giving OW a phone when hers packed up and syncing his iTunes music with it, unbeknownst to wife of course.

Is that really a sign of an affair though.. lending someone a phone and letting them use iTunes? Why don't you ask him?

CarolVordermansBum · 28/11/2020 14:56

What time was it? If it was 6 am yes its a bit fishy he was in the same area as a woman you suspected he had an affair with when next to nobody is out at that time. If it were more like 9 and a bit busier then I dont see the problem

CarolVordermansBum · 28/11/2020 14:57

What @Mermaidwaves said, there's a chance this is what happened

Between 5:30 and 6am.

I think your suspicions are correct sorry. Sounds like he took the dog out so he could meet her but have an excuse.

Oh shit! That hadn't occurred to me. The bit about OW husband catching them! I just assumed he'd left the same time as she had to go for a walk/jog.

I have. He adamantly denies any infidelity.

Dogging?

Skyla2005 · 28/11/2020 15:12

Well he wouldn’t have gone there to meet her with her husband would he you must have trust issues to be posting things like this you need to talk to your husband about it.
