I was out on a trip of 20days 2 months back. Things have not been going good between my hubby and me. By chance today,checking something else, I go to see his credit card statement and saw a transaction for $45 for a motel. I plan of going to Motel and ask them to tell me if my hubby was there that night, and was he alone ? Please tell, how should I inquire about it?? I asked him and he just waved off the whole thing saying he don't remmember.

If you got jealous, increase your love and affection to him. But if not then just forget it who knows he just have a private meeting with somebody. He might have a new business ventures that needs to talk privately. Pls dont jump into conclusion for it will just ruin your relationship or your family.

just drop by that motel and ask the log book to check the your husband's name. If he has a companion, then check the name. Whatever will be your findings, you have to investigate more. Just observe the behavior of your hubby towards you, if he is still warm, just keep that findings aside. Maybe if things will go wrong you can use those findings.

It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense that if you were away he'd go to a motel if you know what I mean. Is it near your home? It sure doesn't make sense that he wouldn't remember but I can't even guess as to what the story is without knowing your hubby and your situation. Does he have a need to stay at motels for business purposes now and then, could that be why he doesn't remember? I guess going by what you've said here my best advice would be to not jump to conclusions but to definitely try to get to the bottom of this. Good luck! Annie

If you were on a trip for 20days, why would your husband need a motel room? If I were you I would be doing some investigating as to why. Also get your self checked for any kind of std you might have gotten.

Zanybrio, does your husband have a history of infidelity?If he does,then you should be worried.if he doesn't,maybe there as mistake on his c/c.maybe he was being nice and paid for a homeless family to stay a night.maybe he was really tired,and couldn't drive all the way home.there are so many different reasons for a motel charge.if he's faithful,then theres nothing you need to worry about,even if things haven't been so good.if you really are worried i have some great information on keeping your marraige strong and together,send me a note and i'll get it to you.

I'm the jealous type so I'd automatically assume the worst. How do you not remember paying for a motel room in the last few months? It's not like paying for gas or grabbing something to eat, seems like it would stick out in your mind. However, I always thought that when people had something to hide, they would get more defensive about the issue then an innocent person would. It easily could have been a mistake with the credit card company. I would call them to check it out. I wouldn't push with your husband to much, that will only make things worse. But, I'm a firm believer in instinct, and if things aren't good at home and you think he could be cheating, then he probably is.
