Quick story that came to mind after watching a video on the internet of a similar nature. The interaction between the two individuals had me thinking about this story.
No sex in this one
Thanks Mom!
It had been a long week at work and I was finally home. Walking into the house, I could hear my wife of 7 years on the phone. As I walked in from the garage, I saw her sitting along the island in our kitchen drinking a glass of wine. I grabbed a glass and poured one for myself.
"Michael, mom wants to say hello. I'm putting you on speaker phone."
"Hello Michael. How is my favorite son-in-law?"
"Great Mom. You know I am your only son-in-law, so the competition isn't that fierce."
"I know, but you would be my favorite no matter what."
"Thanks, I love you too."
"You know, dad and I were watching a show and the husband and wife talked about building trust in their relationship."
My mother-in-law was always trying to give us relationship advise to keep our marriage strong. Some were good; some weren't so good, so we have to sift through each to see if there was any merit.
"Every week they hand their cell phones over to each other to let them look through their texts and call history to show they have nothing to hide. Dad and I do this now as well. You guys should try it."
I looked at my wife Andrea and saw her flinch just a little as my mother-in-law was saying this. Interesting.
"Mom, I think that is a great idea. Andrea and I will start doing that as well."
I could see Andrea was visibly not in favor of this based upon her subtle reactions. I'm guessing she might have something to hide.
"Andrea and I need to be going, so send our love to dad."
I quickly hung up Andrea's cell phone and handed her mine. No time like the present to make the switch.
"Michael, give me back my phone. That is a stupid idea that my mom suggested. I don't need to look through your phone. I trust you completely."
"No Andrea, I think this is a great idea. Trust is something that is earned and shouldn't be ignored no matter how long we have known each other. I know I have nothing to hide, so look through anything you would like."
"Michael, no! We don't need to do this!"
By her reaction, I knew she was hiding something. I opened her text messages and it didn't take me long to find out what she was trying to hide from me. She was interacting with someone named DJ just today and it looked like my marriage could be in trouble. I saw several "I love you" messages and as I kept scrolling there were a few naked pictures of them.
Andrea saw my face and knew she was busted. She made a lunge for the phone, but I was too quick for her.
"Do you want to explain what I am seeing here? Who the hell is DJ and why are you sending naked pictures of yourself to him?"
