It's been rough.
Gibson called me back the day after my last post. He said he felt so stupid for making that mistake.
He acted incredulous at my idea of him having a lover. Basically, he said:
"Lola, honey, listen! My password is "Charlotte", I got to the hotel really late and I was exhausted but I still wanted to send you a message. So I just logged in using "Charlotte" and typed an email to you - it was just the word I had on the top of my mind at the moment! Haven't you ever called someone by the wrong name on accident? Didn't you ever call your teacher 'mom' when you were a kid?"
By that point I was feeling a little silly. But still, the obvious question - "Why is another woman's name your password?" I asked.
Was there a pause here or was he just waiting for me to finish?
He said, "As in Charlotte, NORTH CAROLINA."
And then I felt REALLY stupid. And embarrassed. Gibson had briefly lived there as a child. I suppose it makes sense. He said he had to go and that we'd talk when he got back. We didn't really. I felt dumb and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
... I did sort of expect HIM to bring it up though.
Still weird.
What do you think, internet?

I believe him.
ReplyDeleteWere you suspicious before your friends' mysterious phone call?
Or mostly after?
Could he possibly actually work as much as he says he does?
just wondering...
Those are good questions that made me think. See, this is why I still wish I had Susan around to talk to!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't seriously suspicious before the phone call. The thought crossed my mind every so often - would he, could he? But doesn't that happen to every wife?
He's a VIP in his "industry" here. I know he has a very demanding job, that's why it's so hard to question the validity of all his "trips".
Thanks so much for your comment! It's great to have opinions & friends to vent to about all this.
Lola,
ReplyDeleteme again.
have you ever read ( or heard of ) the book "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" by Dr.Laura Schleshinger (sp???)
I came across it a few years back quite by chance. Easy read.
Some of it is corny, but a lot of it will get you thinking.
Often the responses and actions we get from people are simply a response that mirrors our own attitude, even if we are not aware of the vibes we are sending out.
While I am definitely keen to follow up on your mystery, I wonder if you consciously tried to treat him differently, things might feel different between you.
That said, a private investigator may set your mind at ease... but if you are wrong, and he finds out, where will you find yourself?
good luck!
I read your blog quite some time ago, and had you on my mind this morning. I hope all of your doubts have resolved themselves.
