DH message. For me?

621 replies

DH left home very (too?) early today to go to the nearest city (4hr journey) as he is flying abroad tomorrow. He's staying at an airport hotel. He arrived well before lunch. He needs to be at the airport at 5am (we're not in UK). Sent a message to say he'd arrived. About 2 hrs later sent a message. "I'm in room 38".
Am I over thinking? He's never sent me his room number before?
Is that strange? I'd really appreciate opinions.

Yes it’s strange, you would only need to know this if you were visiting him in the hotel.

MapleTreeValley · 07/08/2024 02:55

Yes, I do think that's strange actually. I would be feeling a bit suspicious.

lopdedop · 07/08/2024 02:59

Thanks for the replies. I did respond and asked who the message was for. He said he was just keeping me updated..? But yes, he knows there is no reason for me to visit. Now he's in a mood with me.

Seems a bit odd... have you noticed any other strange behaviour?^^

MissedItByThisMuch · 07/08/2024 03:01

Yep, strange and suspicious. And the fact that he’s now in a “mood” with you for your response just reinforces that. Shame you’re 4 hours away. I’m thinking it would be quite informative to knock on the door of room 38…

coffy11 · 07/08/2024 03:02

That's really weird that he would send you the room number for no reason. The most likely explanation is that he sent it to you by mistake and is having an affair.

lopdedop · 07/08/2024 03:06

I can't think he'd know anybody there. But, yes. We're having a tough time and maybe he is trying to update me and keep me informed and it'scome across clumsily. But I'm having some issues around his friendship with a much younger woman. Though I know she's not in that city tonight.

Thanks for your replies. Glad it's not just me who thinks it's dodgy as fuck.
I really do feel like I've been losing my mind recently.

Josette77 · 07/08/2024 03:13

How do you know for sure she's not in the city?

lopdedop · 07/08/2024 03:17

I believe she's out with mutual friends in our town tonight. I can check..

OP posts:
Josette77 · 07/08/2024 03:21

Hmmm yes I would check on that. The fast he has an interest in her and suddenly is sharing his room number is suspicious to me and I'm pretty laid back.

emelina15 · 07/08/2024 03:24

Does the number 38 have any significance to either of you? Long shot, but you never know…

2AND2GC · 07/08/2024 03:28

I'm so sorry OP, I have a horrible feeling this wasn't meant for you.

Purplelimesoda · 07/08/2024 03:29

Ring the hotel and ask for the lady in room 38 see what happens

lopdedop · 07/08/2024 03:31

No not a significant number. Checked and she's not out with the people. She's staying at home apparently. That I can't confirm. Fuck.

OP posts:
Horses7 · 07/08/2024 03:31

Check and double check where OW is - I’d have been tempted to arrive at room 38 too but it’s too late for that.

teenboymom · 07/08/2024 03:35

Ugh OP that sounds very dodgy..do you know the other woman well? Is she from his work? I'd go with your gut. I would have rocked up to the hotel if that was an option but I imagine he's flying off early tomorrow?

WhingeInTheWillows · 07/08/2024 03:39

What’s the time where you are? If you’re not in the UK is there still time to go to the hotel, if possible of course. Alternatively do you know the woman address? Can you somehow check she’s there?

FetchezLaVache · 07/08/2024 03:40

What form has this mood he's in with you taken? That sounds like a guilty conscience talking, OP, sorry to say.

CautiousOptimist · 07/08/2024 03:43

Do you know where she lives OP?
Honestly, that sounds super dodgy and I wouldn't be able to stop myself going to knock on her door and see if she's at home.
I'm so sorry :-(

user1492757084 · 07/08/2024 03:47

Deliver a pizza to OWs house, OP.

Actually, could husband have been sending room number to a pizza service?

lopdedop · 07/08/2024 03:49

It's too late for me to get to the hotel. I can get up early and see if she's home in the morning.
Fucking hell.

OP posts:
Remaker · 07/08/2024 03:53

Did you ask him why he was leaving home so early?

2AND2GC · 07/08/2024 03:55

You might establish that OW is indeed at home but it still doesn't explain this message, does it.

Bless you. I am so sorry. What a horrible situation.

Holidaysrule · 07/08/2024 03:56

I’d be going to that hotel…..
