What will happen next to set me off?

Yesterday morning, H came into the living room with a shirt in his hand I hadn't seen before. H asked me, "What do you think of this shirt? XXXXXX (the business acquaintance H worked with over the weekend) gave it to me for going door to door." I said it looked nice even though I wasn't used to seeing H in a shirt like it. It wasn't his usual style.

Well, today I was hanging some of H's clothes in his closet when I saw that same shirt, and I lapsed back into "insecure JV" when I saw the brand label -- it was from Old Navy... ....remember? OW works there.

I began crying again and shaking nervously. I started thinking maybe when H got into town from Oregon the other day, he stopped to see OW, and that's how he got that shirt. I mean seriously, H has NEVER brought home a shirt that any friend just gave to him.

I think there is just TOO much of a coincidence there. Maybe H keeps telling me to leave him because he knows that he is doing something to hurt me.

I feel like such a doormat. I want an explanation. I feel like he is continuing to go about his "secret life" when he leaves the house and keeps me here because it's "cheaper to keep her".
