Please help, I don’t know what to do…
The other day, while I was trying (unsuccessfully) to increase the resolution of my monitor, my wife came in and told me she was going to bingo. All was fine with that as she goes every week and has done for the 3 years of our marriage but lately she has been getting over-excited when she is due to go, she even puts on ‘party’ clothes now! I asked her about them but she just said that the girls go to the pub after the last game has finished.
She has been acting very strange and always deletes her text messages right after she receives them instead of leaving her cell phone to get to the “too many messages” error. Also, I’m not complaining but, she is always wearing the expensive perfume that I gave her last Christmas. She didn’t even wear it when I last took her on a night out six months ago!
I’m starting to get really suspicious now, the phone rings and whenever I answer it there is no one there or the person says it’s a wrong number or asks for someone who doesn’t live here. I asked her why my she never gets any wrong numbers but she couldn’t explain it. I found a receipt in her jacket pocket for a local restaurant but, when I checked our joint account there wasn’t an entry for that restaurant. When I asked my wife about it, she said it must have been for her work expenses account (she doesn’t work anywhere near this restaurant!!!)
Last night was the final straw, I came home early from work to give her a surprise (she always complains that I work too much) and she was in her nightdress talking animatedly on the phone with someone. As soon as I came in through the door, she finished the call without even saying goodbye. All she could say about being in a night dress was that she was coming down with a cold and was going to take a bath before going to bed early.
While she was in the bath, I checked the last received call to her cell phone and used my own phone to dial it. A man answered! I asked him who he was and he just said he worked for some computer company and he didn’t know who the last person to use the phone was. I got the company name out of him and used the internet to find out it’s address so I could go down there and get some answers. I went upstairs to talk about this to my wife and she was on another cell phone, she should only have one cell phone! where did she get a new one?? I had had enough so I told her to get out of the bath and come with me to the company I had just talked to.
She didn’t want to come and we had a big fight so I decided to go there myself! I nearly crashed twice on the way with so much horribleness going through my mind but I finally made it, I pulled up right in front of the company window. Just under the special offer sign for a 29 inch widescreen monitor going for 200 quid.
The question I want to ask is, do you think I should get this monitor now or wait until a bigger version comes along?
kind regards
Mr. G. Eek.
