Coincidence?

35 replies

For several years I had suspected that DH fancied another woman that he knows. I never paid much attention to it as I am of the opinion that everyone fancies people now and again despite being married.

More recently though there have been events which I am questioning if they are coincidences or not, when taken together. Looking for opinions what others would think.

The first coincidence was that she was at the same holiday resort as us. I never mentioned it as thought it was coincidence and he never mentioned it so assumed he hadn't seen her.

The second coincidence is that he told me that the woman had moved to within a virtual stone's throw of our house. Again I never gave it any further thought for probably about a year to 18 months.

However, something happened later on which caused me to question him about his relationship with her. Within days immediately following this conversation I had with him, she had moved out of the house.

All just coincidence?

@MsDogLady

OP, can you share what happened ‘later on’ that caused you to question him about their relationship?
Not specifically because it involved some unusual behaviour by a third party. What I can say is that it did not involve discovery of evidence like messaging etc. Nor was it anything related to do with his behaviour at that time.

Are you the poster who asked for advice re a holiday photo / reflection or something?

This is all so vague I don’t feel able to offer an opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ How far apart were the moving in and moving out of nearby property?

It's quite common to see people you know whilst abroad on holiday, I stayed in a hotel in Tenerife and in the next room were my neighbours adult daughter and her family who I was good friends with as we all often socialised together. I know people who have bumped into friends in Australia.

Where did she live before she moved close to you? Was her house up for sell or was it rented ?

Are you are the poster who found out she was there by seeing the bus photo?

I think the holiday is just coincidence. The house move might be too, is there a reason you found it suspicious she moved to the same area as you?

As an aside I’ve been on a number of holidays and bumped into people I knew.

On one memorable occasion we got a flight with 3x teachers from DCs school plus 4 other families we knew. We were expats at that point though so some of the holiday routes were perhaps a bit more common.
