Meeting times for affair?

[Fritillarybounce]

How likely is it a man and a woman would meet up early morning on a dog walk if they were having an affair and/or having casual sex? By early I mean five thirty in the morning and the walk is a large area of field/woodland next to housing.

He swears blind he hasn't had an affair. I believe him. I did check his google, like someone suggested, and the history is patchy. There was one morning where he didn't do the full loop of the route. He went part of the way, stopped for 30 minutes, then double-backed. He says the location probably glitched. I'm still a be hmm at the fact the early walks started happening abruptly and then stopped completely. He hates getting up before 6am usually, whether he's working or not. If I didn't know better I would suspect a drugs meet but 100% he doesn't take drugs.

Why do you believe him? Because he said he’s not having an affair and you want that to be true?

The location glitched did it? Convenient.

I believed him because he sounded genuine. Having said that, I've since wondered if he might have a different definition of affair than I do. I remember once mentioning the term 'emotional affair' to him and he had no clue what that was.

Wow, you're really playing with fire there.

Even if it's not an affair, he's taking the piss by telling you flimsy lies. I don't have any technical expertise but from my experience I would say Google Maps is more likely to glitch by freezing and then shutting down, rather than recording a wrong route.

Why do you believe him? Because he says he's not having an affair?

If you have suspicions, don't ask again. Use time to do further digging.

When I was a teenager, we lived next door to a baker who left the house at maybe 2.30/3am to go to work.
At 3.15am three/four nights a week, a bouncer from a nearby club would turn up, then leave again at about 6am.
My dad would see him leaving when he was on early shifts and often hear him arrive if he was up in the night, because he always had music on in the car.
That went on for at least 4 years.

You say he swears blind he hasn’t had an affair. But he also had an STD that he says took four years to develop? (Incidentally, did you know about the ONS before he told you?)

The Google thing sounds a bit too convenient as well. I use Strava for my runs. If it “glitches”, which is unusual, it misses out sections of the route, it doesn’t just put in a different location.

Sounds to me like someone turned it off.

Just walking the dog that early isn’t necessarily weird especially in this weather. But the rest of it seems a bit odd.

My BIL had an affair, he used to call the OW on dog walks as he couldn’t call her from Dsis’s house, he also met OW for walks but not at 6am, admittedly. He and OW worked together so he’d go to hers at lunch breaks or after work events. They were seen walking his dog by a colleague but brushed it off as just friends, Dsis then saw messages on his phone a few weeks later.

I am quite impressed that your dog just lay down obediently watching
Mine barks if I stop to talk to someone when we are on our walk!

People who are having affairs would 100% do this.

My friend lives right next to the park - her bedroom overlooks it and she said during lockdown the number if tines she got woken up early in the morning or late at night by people shagging - she assumed it was people that shouldn't have been there with each other due to the times and lockdown rules etc.

My ex used to go for long bike rides, it seemed like the end of the world to me at the time, but I can laugh now, as it was 30 years ago and they remind me of Marina and Howard in 'Last of the Summer Wine'
