Isn't it more reasonable to assume that OP is a suspicious for a reason, since she's the one living with her husband, than to assume that she never noticed that teen girls are forgetful? |
Ding ding ding! OP is suspicious for a reason. Listen to your inner voice OP! |
A) only the two of them are in the house. How did backpacks full of stuff get in the basement if neither he nor OP put it there? B) some teen girls are forgetful, but multiple backpacks of stuff? Yeah, I don’t believe his excuse. And I bet that if you found backpacks of used men’s stuff in your basement and your sons said they were not theirs, you wouldn’t completely dismiss the possibility your wife was up to no good. |
| If OP’s DH was found to be molesting tweens and we read in WaPo that she simply accepted his claim the stuff belonged to DDs, we’d think she was dumb or in on it. |
You’re putting stuff in that’s not there. OP says sone of the stuff is stuff she “thought” she tossed out and the daughters “thought” they tossed out. OP says the youngest is in the house, so no idea why you say it’s only him or her. I’m sure there is stuff in every basement that didn’t get tossed. |
She said there were 5 pairs of pink sunglasses, and her daughters don’t like pink. Maybe a couple of things were theirs but it sounds like most were not. It is a huge red flag for me and super creepy. |
OP, is this from you? Gym as in kids at school? |
| Keep the stuff as evidence should a crime come to light! |
| This is too creepy to be a troll |
Please answer this OP. Your husband may be molesting students. If you think that’s in the realm of possibility you need to dig deeper before your world falls apart. |
| People don’t believe women. Then they say “She must have known!” |
| Abusers keep tokens from the girls they abuse? Don’t get rid of it. Investigate his computer for evidence of hooking up with teens. |
Could it be you bought those 5 pink teen sunglasses, or got them somewhere, but just forgot? Let's stick to exhibit A. Where did the 5 pink teen sunglasses come from? Can you absolutely rule out that you brought them into your house? |
OP here. No. He is not a gym coach. And thanks to the other responses. Yes, indeed it’s just a gut feeling. Nothing proven unfortunately. I just hope it is not old age paranoia and any form of dementia. |
Because all other alternatives are way better? Er... no, not really. Not all of them. |
