My Wife Was Discussing Adopting A Baby While Having A Year-long Affair. I Found Plane Tickets In Her Pocket And A Gaslighting Note. Should I Leave Her Suitcase In The Hallway With The Evidence?
A Special Breakfast
Clara woke up earlier than usual; her wife, Lucy, had important negotiations that day, and she wanted to cook a special breakfast for her to show her support. Lucy was an ambitious lawyer while Clara was a passionate writer. They met during their college years and seemed to be too different to hit it off.
Nevertheless, their connection was instant. There was a spark that ignited a friendship that soon blossomed into something bigger. As the years passed, Clara and Lucy navigated the challenges of life together.
Their bond grew stronger with each shared triumph and tribulation until one day they decided to get married. While Lucy’s family was very supportive, Clara found herself on the outs with her relatives, but she didn’t care because she felt like Lucy was everything she could ever need in life.
“Honey, when did you have the time to do all this? Did you even sleep at all?” Lucy asked as she walked into the kitchen.
“Sure I did. I just got up earlier. I wanted to make sure you had breakfast before rushing off to work. I know you, you can go a whole day on coffee alone and that’s not good for you, honey.”,
Lucy only laughed in response. Clara sure did know her well.
Growing Suspicions
After her wife left for work, Clara cleaned the kitchen and went into her study to work on her latest book. Lucy called at about 7:00 p.m. to warn Clara that she would be staying late at work again.
It had been happening a lot lately, and Clara even started getting suspicious over those late nights at the office as well as all those extra business trips she started taking. She tried pushing away those thoughts, especially since they had finally started discussing the possibility of having children.
“Lucy wouldn’t want to adopt a child with me if she were having an affair, would she? Who starts a family with someone if they’re cheating on them?” Clara tried to reassure herself.
Lucy came home late and tired.
“Hey honey, I’m going to jump into the shower and hit the bed. I’m just too tired to even have dinner.”
Convincing herself that everything was fine was getting harder with each passing day,. Since Clara worked from home, she handled most of the housework.
The Discovery
One day as she was doing the laundry, she found a couple of ticket stubs in her wife’s pocket. There were two plane tickets, one in Lucy’s name and one in the name of Sarah Jones. There were also two tickets to a show.
Clara’s head was buzzing with thoughts. She’d never once heard Lucy mention anyone by this name, which meant that it was unlikely that they worked together. And even if they did and could have traveled for work together, why would they go to a show?
This all seemed too odd. Clara called Lucy looking to ask for some sort of explanation, but instead, she got even more reason to worry. Some unfamiliar woman answered her wife’s phone.
“Hello, who is this? Where’s Lucy?” Clara asked.
“Oh, I’m sorry, this is Sarah. I work with Lucy. Let me get a hold of her for you.”
But Clara didn’t wait for Lucy to get to the phone; she hung up and immediately looked up the phone number of a detective agency,. She needed to know the truth whatever it was.
Silent Treatment
Meanwhile, she decided not to confront her wife. She left her dinner out on the table and went to bed hoping that she’d be able to get at least some sleep despite the anxious thoughts swirling in her head. Lucy got home well past midnight, took a quick shower, and went to bed.
“Clara, are you awake?” She asked.
But Clara pretended not to hear her. She wasn’t ready to talk.
The next morning, Clara decided to sleep in, which surprised Lucy as that wasn’t something that happened often. She knew about the phone call and realized that it was the reason behind Clara’s strange behavior.
Nevertheless, she didn’t want to pull her into a conversation she wasn’t ready to have. Thus, Lucy decided to leave her wife a note:
“Honey, Sarah is just my assistant. She’s temping for Jim while he’s out sick. You have nothing to worry about. Love you, L.”
