It seemed like every time I came home I would find something else. One time it was a couples seeking classified under the bed with an ad circled. The explanation was that he had circled this as a joke for co-worker and forgot to take it in.
Another time it was a comment dropped while out with friends about someplace my husband had been or something he said.
I noticed a trend when he traveled for the military. When he first arrived at a location he would call me several times a day, in the morning, at lunch, when the duty day was done, after dinner, before bed. Then he would tell me that he was going out to dinner with his work-mates. Then the afternoon calls stopped along with the after dinner calls. Then he would call only in the morning.
This meant something but I tried not to think about it. For military people, socializing is a big part of work. Forging bonds, drinking, and sharing war stories. Men who won't socialize are often ostracized and my husband was a very social person. I told myself I was being controlling again. And I was. If my husband was an honest person.
