My Husband Secretly Sneaks Out Every Night Thinking I’m Sleeping, and I Don’t Know What to Do

“I’ve noticed my husband sneaks out every night around 3-4 AM. At first, I’d wake up and find him gone, so I set an alarm to catch him. One night, I saw him packing a small bag and leaving the house quietly. He went into the nearby forest, so I called him, pretending I’d just woken up. He claimed he was getting a headache pill, but I know the pharmacy is in the opposite direction and there’s no shortcut through the woods. I don’t know what to do.”

Thank you for sharing your concern with us! We suggest having an open conversation with your husband. It’s unusual that he hasn’t mentioned these nightly walks, and as his spouse, it’s reasonable to be aware of his whereabouts for safety reasons. If he’s reluctant to explain, it could raise suspicions.

Ask him to share his location using Google Maps or other apps for peace of mind. If he continues dodging your questions or seems overly secretive, that could be a red flag. Monitor how much time he spends outside and look for patterns. Extended outings or guarded behavior upon returning may warrant further attention.
