Hi everyone. I’ll preface this by saying I do have a tendency to overthink things sometime. However this is the situation: today as I was going to retrieve something from my girlfriend’s car, I found a large expensive looking power strip. The kind someone who uses high voltage things would plug into. Not something I would ever use certainly.
My girlfriend claims she has no idea where it came from. It was brand new unopened and sitting in her backseat under some other things. No one but her or I or our kids have been in her car in the past however many months. At least according to her.
We both texted our respective family members thinking maybe one of them left it in there without our knowledge. No one from either side of our family has any idea what it is or where it came from. She always locks the car before she gets out, and even if she didn’t I find it hard to believe that someone would break in to leave something in the car especially a $50 power strip. Most people break in to steal things from cars.
She got really defensive when I told her how weird I thought it was. Started immediately pulling classic darvo tactics.
Am I overthinking this or am I right and assuming someone besides me was in her car at some point whom she does not want me to know about?
I’m definitely not the best person to get relationship advice from, but…
If this is the only thing that makes you suspicious? If so, I wouldn’t worry about it. If she’s cheating, more evidence will likely come to light soon enough. And if she’s not, it’ll strain your relationship to press this issue.
If other things come up that make you think she’s cheating (and do try not to succumb to selection bias), then maybe have the conversation.
Yeah well I guess I left out some vital information. I did catch her cheating once before years ago. She swore it would never happen again and until now I guess I just never found anything that made me think what the hell
Bahahaha maybe lead with that next time.
You know what the answer is.
Critical info.
