Shock moment mummy blogger thought her husband was cheating interstate after bizarre bank statement appeared on her phone - and it could to anyone
An Aussie influencer has revealed the embarrassing moment she mistakenly thought her husband was cheating on her after receiving a bizarre bank statement.
Mummy blogger Sarah Kearns, 35, shared the cringeworthy ordeal with her social media followers, revealing it happened while her husband Brad was on an interstate trip.
'Let me set the scene for you. It's 8:20pm on a school night, and Brad is interstate at a work conference,' Sarah began.
'He had texted me earlier to let me know they were all going out after the conference for drinks - the afterparty if you will.'
She said the misunderstanding occurred after she received a confusing bank notification on her phone, which did not reveal the whole picture.
'So there I am. Snuggled up in bed, loving the alone time, reading my book... All-in-all the perfect night when my suddenly my phone went off,' she exclaimed.
'It's the bank. An automatic notification to let me know money was spent from our account. An annoying but clever feature. $36 spent at… wait for it… "Forever Seduced Ho".'
Sarah revealed the business name initially caused some confusion as she didn't realise it was an abbreviation for a restaurant trading under Forever Seduced Hospitality Group.
'What in the work event drinks is this place?? What kind of establishment is old mate at? How many partners sent the exact same message, "work drinks, hey?",' she quipped.
Sarah then revealed her embarrassment after realising she had jumped to the wrong conclusion and sent her husband text messages accusing him of cheating.
'So I did what any rational wife would do. I googled "Forever Seduced Ho Docklands". Turns out it's the company that owns the club near the convention centre,' Sarah explained.
'Four stars. Great vibe. Questionable branding. Would recommend for post conference drinks if you enjoy explaining the receipt to your partner next day.'
Sarah and Brad have one of the strongest marriages in the business.
Her husband of 14 years Brad, also known as 'DadMum' online, went viral on Facebook back in 2016 when he penned a scathing post after a man passed judgement on his wife for being 'just' a stay at home parent.

'We went to a wedding the other week. We were on a table which was half half. Half us and half them. It wasn't too bad and we all got along. They started that awkward conversation which we all have when we meet new adults,' he wrote at the time.
'"So what do you do with yourself?"
'I don't know why this f*****g conversation happens. It's almost like a passive game of "who's the richest" or "guess my lifestyle".'
Brad said when he explained what he did for a living nobody 'batted an eyelid' but when a male guest started to question his wife Sarah it was a different story.
'And then he looks at Sarah. He says: "oh so you just stay home and look after the kids?"' Brad sniped.
'I don't know how this has become a generalisation but it f***ing stinks.'
Brad then urged his followers to stop judging and making assumptions about other parents.
