Wife Goes Silent on Work Travel

[Anonymous]

No. This is not normal. I would suspect cheating. I have seen it once with a friend’s husband. Does she get mad when you ask her about the trip and what she did? That is a sure sign. Ask to see her texts and emails. If she refuses, that’s a sign.

OP here.

She never showed. Texted 40 minutes after her supposed landing time and claims to have missed her connection in Atlanta. So, she staying at a hotel there. Says her phone is almost dead and will try to call later.

I don't know what to make of that. Since the client foots the airfare she couldn't really intentionally miss the flight, but it seems sketchy because according to flight aware her flights were both on time.

That’s shady. How much connection time? The Atlanta airport is a real bear and if it was a 35 minute connection there’s a chance she’s telling the truth, but it’s still all too convenient.

You need to start researching applicable divorce laws, it seems.

This woman has more cellular telephone problems and excuses than anyone I’ve ever heard of. It’s not 2002 anymore.

Another night with her AP.

Oh my god. This dude/lady is just dragging you along in his fairy tale.

so...and again, assuming arguendo that this all isn’t a creative story...one could surmise that perhaps she is holed up in this hotel with her work colleague having concocted a story about missing a flight.

Kind of obvious by now. Le sigh.

That said, the troll made his point: many commenters here on DCUM were willing to give the traveling DW waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more slack than if the genders were reversed (DH traveling overseas, DW at home watching the kids).

Dude, then don't read it. I don't give a sh#t what you think.

I don't think she's holed up because that means the missed airfare would be on her.

Whatever the hell is going on, I'm not getting the whole story.

Aren't there PLENTY of flights from Atlanta to ... everywhere?? I'm sure she could have hopped on the next flight.

Oy, OP. I'm so sorry. Doesn't sound good. 75 minutes is plenty of time to catch the next plane (unless you're drunk, sick, or at Paris CDG). And even if she missed that, she could have been in DC by now. Can you spare $300 and offer to fly her home (next Sprint flight leaves ATL 6:55 arrives 8:39 to BWI, $309 round trip on Kayak)? After two weeks away, I'd be fighting tooth and nail to get home to my husband and son.

I'm sorry Op. Your gut is definitely telling you something is up. I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now . Keep us posted.
