My wife and I have been married 25 years. Our relationship is not the best and she thinks it is worse than I do. She's been working a job for about a year and a half as an office manager. About 5 women and 10 men work out of the office. It's pretty laid back and the dress is business casual leaning more towards casual. She works A LOT of overtime, almost every night, from 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We had gone quite some time without having sex, in fact I hadn't seen her naked in weeks. Then one day while she was getting ready for work I walked in as she was getting out of the shower. I noticed right away that she had trimmed herself in landing strip fashion. She had never done that before, but no big deal. Then a while later I noticed new sexy lingerie in her laundry that I had never seen before. We keep our laundry separate and normally I don't see hers, I have no reason to. But this day I did, and there were not just one or two new very sexy things, but about a dozen. Again though, not that big a deal, maybe she just wanted some new things to feel good about herself. Then, about a month ago I noticed her leaving for work one day and thought to myself that the way she was dressed was quite sexy for work. The next day she again dressed very sexy. And the third day as well. On the following day, a Thursday, she went back to dressing normal. One day the next week, while I was waiting to pick her up from work I had a quick chat with a female coworker. In the conversation she mentioned that the regional manager for their company had been down last week - for 3 days. These were the exact 3 days when she dressed sexy. Now I was getting suspicious. Then three weeks ago my wife came home and told me that she has to attend a week-long business training meeting. I asked her when and she said she didn't know the dates. I asked her where and she said she didn't know that either. Never before in the history of any job she has ever held has she gone anywhere on a business meeting. That's in 25 years. Let alone a business meeting that lasts a week. A few days later she told me the where - Louisianna. When I asked where in Louisianna she said she didn't know. A few days later she tells me it's in New Orleans. Then almost right away says that's where she thinks it is, but it could actually be Metairie or Houma. So I still don't know when she's going and the closest thing I have to an idea of where she'll be is about a one hundred mile radius of Southern Louisiana. It's now been three weeks since she first told me about the meeting. Around this time, hidden under the bed, I found a Victoria's Secret bag with a receipt for $85 dated the week before. Nothing was in the bag. I also found new hair color, lipstick and makeup in another bag. After three weeks now she finally she tells me the dates when she'll be gone. Today, which is just one day before she is to leave, she finally tells me that the business meeting is in the French Quarter of New Orleans right on Bourbon Street. She'll be staying there for a week. Then, she went on to say, the whole trip, meals, entertainment, and hotel room assignments are being taken care of by none other than - you guessed it - the regional manager that she dressed all sexy for when he was in town. So here my wife is leaving to go stay in the French Quarter, right on Bourbon Street, for a week, at a supposed week-long business meeting along with a man who makes literally 10 times the money I do and who she obviously dressed very sexy for just a few weeks ago. Am I making too much of this, is my imagination running wild, or does it sound like something's going on here?... Read More »
