Hello,
My husband went on a work trip. On the first night, I called, and he told me he was too tired to talk. The second night was the same story. On the third night, when I called, I heard a woman’s voice in the background, “Jack, is that your wife? Tell her I said hi!”. My stomach dropped. He laughed nervously and said, “I didn’t want to worry you, but I’m sharing a room with Jessica. The company wanted to save money and booked one room with two beds.”
I was stunned. Why would he hide this? Later, I checked his social media and saw a coworker’s post – a group dinner with everyone laughing and having fun. Jessica wasn’t just his roommate; she was sitting beside him in every photo, looking way too comfortable.
When he came home, I confronted him. He swore nothing happened, but I can’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t telling me the whole truth. How do I move forward without feeling paranoid?
Best,
Sara
