OP here. She called at 6am and explained that she had been bumped rather than missed it. Claims the rest of her team made that flight so she was alone. But, she didn't call until the morning? Why not from the hotel the entire night? I did ask her that point blank and she was defensive and insulted. I did not accuse her of an affair or even ask if there were men with her. She took offense to me wondering why she didn't contact me after she "literally just flew around the world".

I'm calling BS when she gets back. I was just single-parenting it with little kids for two weeks and she thinks its 'out of bounds' to question her because she sat in a plane seat drinking wine, watching movies and eating food brought to her on a platter. which is more difficult? My two weeks or hers?

I think she protests too much.

Honestly, if theres an affair its a betrayal of course but mostly I'm seething that she thinks I'm some sort of support staff for her life.

Obviously, whatever efidence may be in her luggage wil only certainy be gone by the time she gets home[/quote]

Hum. Bumped? on a mid-week afternoon flight? And no chance of getting back to DC that night? I don't think so. Her defensive attitude is telling that she knows she is in the wrong -- whether it just be selfishness, taking advantage of you, or if it is an affair. She sounds checked out, and she just isn't considering your feelings, or her kids feelings.

I think she definitely protests too much. A better strategy is always to admit that you were wrong. But in the face of actually being wrong ... that is difficult. OP, does she go back to work today, or will you have time to talk during the day when kids are at school?[/quote]
