alright those are a thoughts, activating thoughts. you see something and it activated your imagination to something further. then you have a b behavior. you say to the wife how you feel. then you have to deal with c consequences.
is she not being truthful, maybe, do you really know? no, you don't. take what you see and thats it, don't let your mind run with it. i really don't think you did much, if at all.
but to help this, next time you have an a thought, you need to knock it out with a d thought. d is going to come in and take it back to reality, maybe they are all like that at the hospital. are they? bring it back to reality and then look again. it has helped me.
