Well, sometimes you just don't get to know the truth.
Saturday, I guess I was wearing my feelings on my sleeve. W asked what was wrong. I told her that the whole receipt thing had been eating at me. She said I thought you believed me. I explained that at the time I did, but this is how things sometimes work when you have exhausted all logical explanations. W got defensive and I too defended my feelings. Then W just stopped and had this look of pain on her face. Neffer, I thought about what you said. The repercussions of infidelity are deep. Especially without proper R. Anyway, again I tend to believe her. W asked D19 and I even called the neighbor. You see we live in a townhouse and receive our mail through a slot in the door. Best I can figure is that the receipt belongs to a neighbor and blew near our unit. Someone may have slid it through the mail slot. This is all possible.
Anyway, I think it is important to report that even though we had an argument, me justifying my feelings and W feeling unjustly accused. BTW, I never accused her. Even with this less than happy exchange, we seemed to recover quickly. Who knows what the truth is? Either W is truly innocent or vastly improved her acting and lying skills. I have been able to move past it. I'm sure some here will say that I should have let it go in the beginning. Well, much like attraction, suspicion is an involuntary emotion. And if and when W pulls the last straw. I will be angry. If I had discovered some inappropriate liaison, it would be over. As I read stories from those that Ss have moved out and those that still cohabitate. I'm not sure being under the same roof is any better.
So back to limbo. W showing respect. I maintain a distance and focus on my missions and not the MR.
