Not always a mistake, but it does seem that Dopers are quick on the trigger whenever there’s suspicion of philandering. I was in a bizarre situation with my husband a few years back. I really wanted to vent about it here, but I knew the responses would be 99% Kick Him to the Curb.* I wasn’t willing to do that, so as much as I wanted input, I kept it to myself.
It’s pretty nigh impossible to describe a situation so that people have all the information they need to offer a reasoned opinion.
*Because of course I wasn’t gonna own up to my own responsibility for the situation.
BiL admits that he was tempted to “chase” the Wife.
Wife is surprised that BiL has these impulses. Asks SiL about it.
SiL says “Well, here’s his journal. Read through it yourself. Nothing there.” Wife hides journal in panty drawer while it is “on loan” to her. SiL & Wife are conspiring to hide the loan of the journal from the men. Nothing more sinister.
It took long enough for somebody to bring this up!
My scenario for where is OP:
1.Wife: Honey, I’m going to the store.
2. Knock at the door.
3. Husband goes to door, sees BiL.
4. Wife: Sorry, officer, I was at the store.
5. Wife: Hello, Smith Insurance Co.? I want to report a Double Indemnity murder.
