Found Receipt for expensive Jewellery in car

328 replies

Forumqueen · 16/09/2021 10:56

Got the car cleaned this Morning, and came across a receipt for expensive jewellery.. The jewellery definitely isn’t for me. Jewellery really isn’t my thing, and there’s no special occasion for him to get me anything.

Only me and my husband use the car. Although we do pick up friends from time to time. The receipt is from a few weeks ago, and on this particular day he went in to work (he usually goes in once a week) I do believe he actually went into work this day but who knows what he did after.

The receipt is from around 5;40 pm when he would have finished work. I just don’t know what to expect. Has anyone been in a similar situation ….should I just ask him about it? I don’t want to spook him if he is cheating -so then he’s extra careful. then I’ll never find out the truth!

I just have a really terrible feeling in my gut that he is cheating. Although he hasn’t shown any signs that he is at all.

That's great news, phew! Thanks for the update.

Ghostsintheshelf · 16/09/2021 14:18

Brilliant, OP. Glad it's all fine.

Bluesheep8 · 16/09/2021 14:18

*you could present the "Tesco" receipt, all innocent, "we got this shop on your card yes?" Pretending you are attempting to food budget or something, or "should I keep thus receipt for insurance purposes, in case we need to send back"

To get confirmation that those four digits are his card.

Then ....."oh whilst we are on credit cards,who was this jewellery for? Bought on your card? The same evening you stayed out late. From my side this isn't looking very good"*

Eh? Why would you keep a grocery receipt for insurance purposes?

@DoubleEx

I do. 2 new cars purchased this year, spent above that amount on next years holiday which is paid in full and more than that on real wood flooring for the entire house

Lol. None of that nasty fake wood for you.

Grin can’t wait to see his the REAL wooden floor subplot evolves (and hopefully replaces ‘car washers can buy expensive jewellery, you know’ debate. And @DoubleEx getting flamed for implying non-real wood floors are NASTY. Seriously though, OP, I would play tge ling game, get the facts in the way that so many PPs have suggested. My exH was a loving, loyal husband, I had an absolute trust in him for many, many years. Our sex life was great, financially we were doing well, ie no reason to stray. Ad then I stumbled across a message that he forgot to delete from his iPad in which he enquired about a price list for massages with a happy ending. And my world collapsed. Don’t mean to hijack your thread, just giving my back story. Please listen to your instincts, don’t show your cards until you know what’s what. Hire a hacker if you need to (sorry, can’t help with that but I am sure there will be others whio can). My ex had his google maps on and I recovered a number of deleter messages. Another thing to check is blocked numbers on his phone. My ex would’cleverly’ block the hooker’s number after he’d booked tp get his rocks off so that they would not call him back I guess. But didn’t think to delete them from the blocked list. Also look for contacts that are ‘bbb’ or ddd - and check the number. As to £150/300 being spent- every thing is relative and it’s high enough to be a ‘lovely’ gesture to the OW, it’s hardly a £20 Argos jobbie and unless he’s super rich, this is enough to show he cares. I, like others here, hope it will turn out to be nothing. But until then, keep your wits about you. 💐

@Bengal12 I care not about floors or car washers but I am really sorry you went through that
Must have been awful , hopefully you are now safe and happy elsewhere

peboh · 16/09/2021 14:21

We've all been there op, and had a moment of 'omg what the hell is this'. The good thing is you didn't jump out of your skin and go rushing in with accusations and kept logical.

Looking4wards · 16/09/2021 14:21

I'm glad it was innocent in the end OP. Smile

Booboo24 · 16/09/2021 14:22

Op that's fab news, I'm SO pleased it was innocent, it gives me fresh hope that there are decent men out there still!!

@Forumqueen
Best outcome.
I'm not often happy to be wrong but I am really pleased to be wrong today!

summersolstice43 · 16/09/2021 14:28

I'm glad you got to the bottom of it OP, saves you driving yourself mad any more

middlingmess · 16/09/2021 14:32

Thank fuck for that! Smile

girlmom21 · 16/09/2021 14:34

Ah I'm so relieved for you OP! Panic averted!

QueenBee52 · 16/09/2021 14:37

great thread 😂🤣

Notapheasantplucker · 16/09/2021 14:38

No way did I expect to come back and read that update 😂
Great news op glad it's sorted.

BlueChampagne · 16/09/2021 14:38

Good job you pressed on with your research before confronting him. Probably better to admit a bit of an error to a load of internet strangers than have your DH point it out to you. Not to mention the lack of trust!

Gonnagetgoing · 16/09/2021 14:39

Glad it’s innocent! Smile you must be relieved!

Bluesheep8 · 16/09/2021 14:40

That's brilliant OP

sparklecrazy · 16/09/2021 14:44

Love updates like this op! Smile

rosesarered321 · 16/09/2021 14:45

I'm so pleased for you

FleetwoodRaincoat · 16/09/2021 14:46

Hurrah! So nice to see one of these threads with a happy ending.

@Forumqueen

Update——- I am actually embarrassed to come back with this. On closer inspection of the name I have figured out who it is. The cashier has spelt the name wrong by one letter- so it sounds odd. He dropped he’s cousin at university last weekend and the “consumer” name is her (her name sounds like a boys name) I have messaged her and asked if she left the receipt in the car. And she said yes.

I guess this is a lesson for me not to jump to conclusions. There is sometimes and innocent answer and there are still some genuine great men out there.

Thank you everyone for your help with this madness 💓

Are you going to have a really good laugh with him about it later? Grin
GeorgiaMcGraw · 16/09/2021 15:02

@Bluesheep8

I'd ring him on a with held number, put a fake voice on and say "hello this is candice from -insert shop name- can I speak to -insert name used on receipt- and see what he says

🤣...and then what is "Candice" going to say?

Candice would need to put on ger best "Babs Windsor as a gangster" voice and shout, "OI, [FAKE NAME], I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU LIVE, AND I KNOW EXACTLY WOT YOU BEEN UP TO, YOU FILTHY SCHLAG. PACK IT IN OR I'LL SEND ME BOYS OVAH FER YA KNEECAPS." @op in all seriousness, I hope it is innocent. I'm sorry you're having such a rotten time right now.
