Perry,
My huby and I have a great realtionship, always have...here is the BIG BUT....But one night around 230 I couldn't sleep as our phones were charging on the counter he received a text message, I figured it was one of our kids. It said something to the effect of " I miss you so much I wish we were together" Any way I didn't recognize the number but it was local. I went into his history cause I was curious and there were several messages going back and forth... Well....little ole me got PO'd and I went and threw the phone at him. He woke up of coarse. Come to find out it was a guy texting and he thought he was texting a girl named Megan. It was very funny to think that he was a texting a guy. We both laugh about it now but for that 15 minutes it wasn't very funny. The guy gave us the correct number for Megan and it was one digit off from my husband.
What I am trying to say is that she may well have been in search of something that was innocent and saw this and got upset. It can happen. I by no means was trying to be nosey when he received the text, I sincerely thought it might be one of our kids needing help.
I know she may not be giving you the benefit of the doubt. But maybe you should give it to her. Maybe you should have your wife call the number and talk to them. That's how we straightened our little misunderstanding up.
Anyway, I am still thinking about you both and I hope everything does get worked out.

That incident sounds like something that would get me snipped.
It was great that you could work through something like that.
And yes, she was innocently looking for something...but if I told you what that was, or the reason, I'd get booted from this forum. :shock:
I'll just say...we share the same habits in personal grooming. :shock: :drinklaugh:
Anyhow, I disposed of the number after I was trying to explain why I had it, so that didn't help matters any. It just looked like a classic case of deception. The only way from there was to ride it out, then talk about it more. I know...my wife was very hurt from this, and I feel terrible about it, but when I accepted the number, I didn't consider this because my intentions were not to deceive or betray my wife...I keep the good phone numbers in a secret place...NO NO NO NO!! Now, I better be joking, or I can just pack my bags right now. Somehow, I think if I would've presented it to her that way, she would've known that it was nothing.
As of right now, things are good. I love her, and I'm showing her, but will she ever forgive me? That will be a mystery for years to come. But in the meantime, forgetting the whole thing is a much better turning point than continuing to foolishly compete in a standoff. We have shown to have a solid bond over the years, and that's what makes something like this harder to deal with. We are both worried about losing what we have. All I can do now is prove to her that she is the only one.
Thanks Sharon :)
