BW, mid 50s 6 wk EA (Nov-Dec 2016). D-day by accident (Feb 2017). We tried to DIY reconciliation at first. Not recommended. "You are ENOUGH. You are so enough it is unbelievable how enough you are."

Google Location Timeline wrong?

I upgraded here to hopefully find someone who can give me facts on how Google Map's Location Timeline works.

It's anti'versary time here, with reconciliation going very well, but my anxiety was high and I went through his location history on his (android) phone. I didn't like what I found. And it also doesn't make sense.

He had a short EA 2 years ago. Dday was 1.5 years ago, after the EA was over. We've been in R a year. It's good, except for things like anniversary dates.

The AP lived (past tense, they divorced and she moved out, but her ex still lives there) a block & half away. FWH swears he never went to her house. From their EA evidence (FB conversation), I believe him. Also, when I discovered the affair, I went through his location history and found no evidence that he'd been there.

Again, we've gotten quite far along in recovery and reconcilitaion.

But there is a time period on his location history that puts him at her address nearly every day. For three months, a few weeks after she moved. There are two reasons why I don't believe the data: 1. Her ex only lives there (time period is after she moved out) and 2. I went through OUR FB conversation and am positive that he was home, with me, during every instance.

I confronted him with what I found. I feel that his reaction is consistent with innocence.

So, WHY did Google put him there? I am CERTAIN that he wasn't there at these times.

But, why would her exact address show up, if he'd NEVER been there (what he tells me)? I asked him this, and he says the only thing he can think of is that he probably, during the EA, googled her address.

But he says he would've only googled her back during the time of the affair, a year before this is now showing up.

That address is a block parallel to us (and up that street a house or two). Is it possible that, because he googled it, the address stuck in his search history and it shows up instead of showing him at the home address? The blue line shows him traveling home, NOT going to that address, but then there's a single long line shooting (as if driving through the backyards) to that address.

She was not there, and I know he was home. But HOW did Google tag that address to him if he says he's never been to that house? Is it possible that an innocent google search of a place very nearby our home place is the answer?

And if this IS the answer to why that address appears, how likely is it that the address never showed before, nor since, this window of time a year after he says he'd probably googled it? He says he has NOT searched for her since the EA ended.

Thanks for facts, if anyone is certain how this works.
