[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "I haven't looked at my phone for the last 5 hours while sitting in a pub"  line is absolute horsesh*t and would make me suspicious as hell.

It's 2024. Literally NO ONE goes 5 hours during the day and doesn't glance at their phone. And before any SKIF nerd pedant wants to chime in, OP has already stated he is at a pub drinking.[/quote]

Yes, OP's husband should have been truthful: Honey, I was in the middle of drinking with work friends.  [b]I was not going to stop[/b] to answer some non-emergency schedule thing.[/quote]

Stop what? He wasn't going to pick up his phone and type" Sorry, slamming pints with the crew, will call in the AM, love to everyone!"

It takes literally 3 seconds. Going to the bathroom is 1000 times more of an interruption. Does he not use the toilet while on travel? Something is up and OP is right to trust her gut.[/quote]

We have no idea whether that text would have been sufficient for OP or she is the kind of person who would be further set off by that. She is “irate” right now.[/quote]

Irrelevant. PP was highlighting how the 'ask' isn't impossible, as the other PP implied. I don't care if it is sufficient or not, but no one will ever convince me that shooting off an 8 word text is disruptive or burdening.

And I will add this even though I hate to feed into the 'everything is an affair' trolls playbook, but as a woman who traveled ~25% in my 20s/early 30s doing sales, a solid 1/3 of the men were cheating on their wives and it was almost always with a coworker. It was really gross and a huge part of why I left that industry. Not saying this is the case with OP but tons and tons of people cheat.[/quote]

Actually it’s really relevant - if that word 8 text is going to cause a fight, then some people are just going to pretend they didn’t see it. Did you see OP’s post that she wants some actual responses? Saying you are drinking is going to inflame the person looking for an emotional or scheduling response. [/quote]

You're still missing the point. I was countering the infeasibility of a reply. It is feasible. You might not like what the reaction is, but IDGAF. The message can be sent without burden or disruption.[/quote]

I guess you’re missing my point which I stated in the chain above. Ignoring is easier than saying the truth which is that he was not going to stop hanging out to give the response OP was looking for.[/quote]
