Husband says he is traveling out of town for a job interview tomorrow. On the 4th?

Question

Does this sound right?

No, can't go with him. Apperantly this business sent him a plane ticket for the interview.

Buy a ticket? Are you nuts? I'm glad you have plenty of money to buy a last minute ticket.

Answer 1

You need to trust your instincts as to whether or not your husband may be cheating. I have no idea.

But to answer the question you are posing, is he traveling tomorrow or is the interview tomorrow? He very well could be traveling tomorrow for an interview on the 5th.

Also, I am assuming your husband has another job. Maybe he does not want to take a day off of work to make his bosses suspicious and this place has agreed to come in to work on the 4th to accommodate him.

I have been both a college basketball coach and am now a college professor. I have served on numerous college search committees and I assure you July 4 is getting late in the hiring process and I think it is reasonable to say SOME search committees would accommodate a candidate for a July 4 interview because every day at this stage is crucial. Other businesses may be the same.

So though it is unlikely he has an actual July 4 interview, it is not as impossible as some other answers are making it seem.

Answer 2

This doesn't sound right. He can't be interviewing for a job in the United States of America. According to the link below, about July 4th as a national holiday, people do not work (or get paid) on the 4th. Therefore, who would interview him?

Of course, there are exceptions. But since he's being mystical, I think you have cause for suspicion.

My PERSONAL experience: I've had several affairs with different men during my marriage (and I've only been married for two years.) One thing I often do is make job-related excuses about flying out of town, and claiming that my company gave me the plane ticket. Seeing that you're husband is using the same excuse that I did, I'd be suspicious. (Please don't judge me, I'm using my experience to help other people, see! :)

Last of all, the fact that you're suspicious at all shows that something is wrong with your relationship with your husband. Whatever it is--gut feelings, women's intuition--oftentimes it is correct. Trust yourself. A cheating spouse will do everything he can to cover it, so this is about as obvious as it'll get.

Do you even trust the man you married?

Best of luck, sweetheart!

Answer 3

Why you can't go with him because he got a ticket from a company. Are you sure it's from the client? How do you know if that's just a cover-up? Also, who interviews on a holiday? why can't it wait til Thursday? I would go anyway. Surprise him (feel me) Tell him you bought a ticket to leave with him and watch his response. If he gets angry and make excuses, then you know the truth. If he gets excited and says ok. Then you know the truth then. Good Luck!! Remember: we as women have to be 2-steps ahead.

Answer 4

Doesnt' sound right to me, but there are bussiness and such still open on this holiday, tell him you'll go with him just to get out of the house so you can spend time with him, or ask him where it's at and call and see if there open...if he is not hiding anything i'm sure he'll let you come along or give you the info as to where he will be now if he won't tell you anything or let you go i'd be very suspicious

Answer 5

Yeah with another women. What business is the interview with? Call them up and see if they are open tomorrow? Have you been talking about moving or him applying for another job out of town? Most jobs that you would move your family for would not be open on a holiday. Sorry but look into it.

Answer 6

It sounds like you have bigger issues than just his trip. Evidently you do not trust your husband. We don't know your husband and his background to decide if he is going to a fling or not, but you do. If you are having such a huge problem, you need to really talk to your husband and not yahoo. Because chances are ifhe really is going to a job interview across state to make money for his family, and he find out his wife doubts his commitment to her....you just opened a whole new can of worms.

Answer 7

Well, not all companies are closed for the 4th, but most corporate places are. I guess it depends on what job the interview is for. If it is for an office job, I might think something was up. But unless he has ever given you any reason to not trust him, then you should just let him go and not worry about it.

Answer 8

to me it doesnt sound too right. why can't you go with him? Just about everything is closed on the 4th. I would find a way to call the company. Also, if he really does leave, I would call him continuously. I would barely let him have any peace. if he turns off his phone, you may want to question your relationship with him, and possible divorce if he was lying. Good luck

Answer 9

this does not sound fishy. The man is trying to get a better job for his family. Don't listen to these women on yahoo answers. They question a man when he's obvious trying for a better job then they tell the ones that don't have jobs their losers...

NOTE: people work on the 4th true story!

Answer 10

Since it is the first mid-week holiday I can remember having in years you probably aren't working. Have a nice day trip with your hubby so you go and see where it is you may be living if he gets the job. Plan ahead is a good motto.
