If a wife has a husband that stays outside on the phone talking, should that make her feel as if he is up to know good? He says that it is just business and all.. Sometimes he has been sitting outside in the car talking... At times, it was around 11 and 2 in the morning, at early morning hours.

If it were earlier in the day it would not make me curious.My fiance will go outside too because sometimes he says the house is too noisy , or that i will bother him. I would just come out and keep asking

Yes, I would be concerned, but I would ask my husband why? If he was telling me it's just business and talking in the nighttime in his car? Sounds suspicious to me.

I have to agree with some of the other comments. Phone calls going out or coming in at 11 pm and 2 am are a bit much for business calls. I think you should check the cell or phone records. I would be totally suspicious. I hope your instincts are wrong for your own sake but usually that is your inner conscience telling you something is wrong. Good luck!

That would raise my suspicions! Do you have caller id on your phone? You could find out who calls that way, unless he's doing the calling. Once you find out what the number is look it up in a reverse directory on the internet.

I trust my husband whole heartedly. If a relationship doesn't have trust than what is it? However let me tell you that if my husband was on the phone at 2 in the morning and was keeping it on the hush hush, I would string him up. There is NO good reason to be on the phone at 2am. If you are asking the question than there is a problem. Either there is a trust issue or there is something going on.

If your husband has a history of cheating, YES. Why would he bother go out of the house at 11 or 2 in the morning to answer a phone call? If it's a business call or anything work-related and doesn't want to wake you up, he can always go out of the bedroom or just go to the living room, not really go out of the house. Unless he really is up to something.

i think sometimes. if its just for few days then no point to worry. but it this continues, then it is point of concern. have a clear talk withthe person before going to any arguments.

I really hate to bust your bubble but there is no reason that anyone should have to talk to anyone to the exclusion of there spouse. If he were talking to someone at work why would he have to be so secret about it? And no one ever needs to talk to anyone at 2AM in the morning in the car outside. I would confront this husband and ask what is going on. Ask why he feels it necessary to talk outside when he could do it in the house. Something is very wrong....especially if he does this on a regular basis. If there is normally a lot of noise in your house....TV, Radio, loud music playing...then he may need to step out in order to hear but that is the only reason he should ever have to do it. You will never know what he is doing unless you confront him. If he is defensive about it and will not tell you then you better believe something is wrong.

Until I got to the part where it is happening at 11 at night and 2 in the morning, I was go to reply much differently. My first thought was that sometimes it is easier to have a conversation outside without all the distractions from the house. But, 2 am.... business?? I think not.

that sounds like suspicious behavior to me. "Those who have nothing to hide hide nothing." That is a dr. phil quote by the way. Unless he is a bartender or works the night shift how could he be talking business at 2am? What's wrong with this picture?

cream if its upsetting to you talk to him again and tell him that the hour he is calling and his secrecy are making you nervous. maybe' he does not realize what it is doing to you.

I personally can imagine no reason why I would be outside in my vehicle at those hours talking on the phone. I would be inside and probably right next to my wife. I have talked to people at those odd hours, specifically, a friend that was in a bad relationship and needed someone to talk to, but my wife was right next to me the whole conversation. My wife doesn't hesitate to ask who I was talking to, and I don't mind telling her. It just seems to be a odd place to carry on a conversation to me.

Oh yes, if the husband started giggling on the phone outside and seems cautious with his movements and quite surprise if he found out his wife peeping while he talked outside, then there must be something fishy going on and must catch the fish,hehehe, before it's too late. Husbands nowadays, well as what I have observed, started acting as if they just discovered the wonders of the bees and the birds when meeting with gorgeous women and easily forgot that they are already tied up.

He needs to stop that now!!! My husband 7 years ago was doing that number and telling me its his boss and one day I got the phone and answered it but didn't say anything and the lady said "hey big man". (she must of called the wrong # because there was no big man here!) lol Anyway I went to pick my kids up from school and was going to leave him and he found me at the gas station and begged me back...bla bla I'm still here with him. but yeah you need to confront that! Turn that fire off!

Hi cream97! If it is not that often he makes or takes call, I wouldn't be concerned at all. But if it happens regularly and most often in early mornings, I will be getting suspicious of course. Who would talk business in such very early hours? And why does he have to take the call outside? If it is noisy around the house, he can always tell the kids to be quiet or if the music is loud he can always turn the volume low. And at nights, that may be understandable because he does not want to disturb anyone in their sleep. However, as I said if it becomes a regular thing, I would be getting somehow concerned. Take Care and God Bless! Celebrate life!

I would be very suspicious. If it were something innocent why couldnt he take the call around you. My gut would tell me something was up. Id ask to see the phone#. Are there other issues in the relationship? This may be the first signs of cheating.

Don't be to controlling or it can damage the relationship. Just simply ask him/her who is talking to. Don't always ask or seem suspicious or the fiance or spouse will think that you don't trust him/her.

A husband should not have secrets. Why discussing business in your car/outside. Is that your wife is not confidential. Some persons where I live will tell you that the wife is getting bun. (husband having an affair) Yes, the wife should be concern.
