32. Review Reveal
Using an alt account because, duh.
My wife had been texting A LOT and was very evasive when I inquired about it, though she smirked when she thought it was making me jealous (yeah, she’s that kind of person).
Turns out she’d left her email logged into my cell phone. So I noticed that she had a weekend Airbnb trip to a place that was a state away (we were living in different states at the time) that seemed to be of the “quiet romantic getaway” type. Total occupancy: 2. Hmmm….well, I thought that was fairly suspicious.
So, I monitored her Airbnb page, which was easy since we were friends on Airbnb, figuring that the owner might leave a comment about how great she was as a guest. Which it turned out she did.
Except the review went something like, “(wife’s name) and (guy not named me) were wonderful guests,” and so on. Yeah, so does anyone want to guess what the conditional probability is of that weekend trip involving infidelity? Pretty sure it’s high.
My wife apparently panicked, asked Airbnb to remove the review, altered her name on the site (?), and then finally, having failed to get the review taken down, deleted her account.
I eventually asked her about it during a counseling session. She had a ready-made defense about how she’d meant to take the trip with another coworker. Still, that person’s car broke down, so (guy’s name) ended up tagging along since (guy’s name) was that coworker’s boyfriend, and they all stayed there together, but (guy’s name) signed the guestbook, hence a totally honest mistake.
In hindsight, I am pretty sure she was not telling the truth.
We are not still married.
