Question - Not child related
If you found an address print out to a motel and a receipt to a store down the street from that motel in your spouses car. Would you be concerned? I brought up the subject with my partner, which he/she denied everything, claiming he/she was downtown eating dinner with his/her boss and the motel was for us to escape parenting for a day. They both have the same print out date might I add. And right before that, I found a receipt to the movies which he/she denied but then confessed to it minutes later. He/she said they got a half day at work and didn't want to anger me by going, that was the excuse.
Should I be worried there's more to the story?

Re: Question - Not child related
Oh, wow! This sucks big time. YES, I would be very concerned!
The dinner seems strange that you wouldn't have been told about it but are only finding the receipt. I've never paid for a hotel stay until I've checked out, even when booked in advance (so to say it was for you seems weird and if you did go, I would expect you'd pay for it then). The movie thing is odd too. Was this all paid for on a credit card? If so, are you on that account? You could call the hotel with the receipt info. I definitely think there's more to the story and I'm really sorry you're dealing with this. I hope it's not what it looks like.
First post and has this to say?
I thought that too. hahaha. Entertaining at least?
I would be really suspicious. The hotel thing would really bother me. He/she said it was to escape parenting...but when is this escape going to happen? What did he/she buy at the store? Does your SO often have work dinners?
As for the movie thing, I would be more mad that he tried to lie first, but not so mad if he went to a movie and didn't tell me. This all seems fishy to me and I'd be pissed.
Out of curiosity, are you a reg June 11 mom with an AE or are you new?
It very well could be or it could be a regular poster hiding behind a new screenname for privacy/embarrassment. Considering the nature of the topic (who would want to admit this), I'm giving the benefit of the doubt just in case.
I knew about the dinner, which I believed until I found this. The room wasn't paid, that I know of, because I didn't find a receipt for that. I found a receipt to a Wallgreens near by with a date/time my spouse is claiming to be at the dinner. We don't have a joint account and I asked for the login info, which he/she refused to give saying "I'm being ridiculous."
The movie thing doesn't really bother me since it was the price of a solo ticket. But if they can lie about that to my face, it makes me wonder.
Also LOL at "he/she".
I've done that with a Doubletree before. All I had to do was tell them my name and the date of the stay and they emailed it to me immediately. It was for work reimbursement...not for scandolous investigation purposes.
So are you hoping she sees this? I say MUD too...but I'll play because I'm waiting on a file right now.
Love!
To the OP though - something sounds fishy to me. The motel thing is what gets me because, unless that's the only option, that doesn't sound like something many spouses would want from their SO for a kids-free night! Motel just sounds dirty/shady.
I'm so sorry you're in this boat, and hopefully I'm just jumping to conclusions, but if I were you I'd be suspicious and alert for other signs.
Who would do MUD on this board? We're a pretty tame board, so it wouldn't be all that great.
OP, your post would be less questionable if you used he or she, not he/she. Just make a statement about who is what gender.
And yeah, I would be really suspicious if I found these things. I would actually flip. I do not tolerate lying.
So.... you are male? And your partner is female? Your partner talks about this site frequently, so you thought you would pop in and ask? Just trying to get everything straight. If she (or he?) is here often then they are obviously going to see this post.
Either way, yes. I would be suspicious. My husband and I are so open with each other. Any type of deceit would be a huge red flag for me. Put your detective hat on and see what else you can find.
She doesn't come to the board much anymore. Her personal life is to 'busy' now. She did use it daily during her pregnancy and a few months after. I just remember her always talking about it, so I figured I'd get your input.
I asked her to tell me the truth before she left for work. We're all humans and we all make mistakes. But I can't forgive you unless you confess. I'm not saying you did follow through with it, but if you didn't please show me your bank statement. I know Walgreens uses a very strict computer system, and their receipt would not lie. I'm not going to hate you or go off for your mistakes. I would just like to know the truth.
We've been having a VERY rocky few months. Mainly since she started working. I tried to call the motel and they said they don't use a computer based system since it's a tiny place. All the receipts are in the storage room in a box.
If she isn't lying I don't see the big deal in letting you see her bank account. Is the motel near your house? It's kind of odd. If DH and I were going to take a "parents" day away from LO I would just let him stay with his grandparents and we would stay home instead of spending the money on a motel (unless of course it's somewhere out of town).
You must have missed passed threads devoted entirely to this show. lol There are quite a few PLL watchers on this board.
Every week!
