I know this is hardly detaching, but I really do want to bust her again with OM. Texted OM's W back and asked what time the friend saw him t
Then tipping your hand with 3/4-baked allegations isn't the way to do it, Dan!!!
Dan, you have to start using your HEAD, and not your EMOTIONS.
Let me give you an example. Not sure if you're into baseball or not, but I coach youth baseball. I had this kid on my team this past season -- only his third season playing ball, even though he's 13. Tons of talent, but just doesn't THINK, and doesn't have good baseball instincts yet. He's always begging me to let him BUNT, and he has decent bunt technique, but as you know it's not always the right time to try it. So one game, I'm coaching my usual 3rd base spot, and this kid's due to lead off. He calls me over to him, and whispers "Coach, this pitcher looks really slow (he meant afoot), and so does that fat kid playing third over there. And this catcher's not very good either. Think this would be a good time to bunt?"
"I like the way you think, ________ " I said. "Let's see how deep the kid plays you at third, but yeah, that might not be a bad idea. I'd rather get you to first the EASY way, if we can, (meaning via a WALK), so let's take until you get a strike, and then the next pitch, show it late, and bunt it down the third baseline, like we taught you."
Sure enough, the calorically-challenged kid playing 3rd base start him out playing very deep, so we're all set. So what does my boy do on the first pitch, on which is is taking??? DOES THAT "FAKE-SQUARE-TO-BUNT" THING, which then of course only draws the third baseman in, alerting him to the possibility of a bunt!!!"
That's what you just did with your wife, Dan. Any intel-gathering that you're going to try to do just got that much harder, as she knows you're onto her.
