That exactly what I was thinking gwapito. Hubby got some indoor plants and posts so thinks his old ex-girlfriend of 7 effin years is the candidate because she works on the same street. And she is the one who looks after the house whenever he goes away I think, that was before we met.
I think it is a matter of confidence.
I've talked about this to him last time that I dislike the idea of his ex-gf looking after the house and asked him if he doesn't have any friends to help him babysitting his house for 4 weeks.
