My husband received something very strange in the post ...

[OnSilverStars]

In the post today, my husband received a letter. It was hand written with his name and address on the outside. No return info. The writing in the envelope is definitely a woman's

Inside is a copy of an "essay" I googled it and it's by Robert Louise Stevenson. It called "on Marriage"

The gist of it is that marriage has lots of ups and downs and requires communication

There is nothing else. No name, just a folded print out of this essay.

Any explanation, other than my fear? I have no reason other than this to suspect anything.

YABU - don't jump to conclusions

YANBU - he's cheated.

I'm shaking. This feels so surreal. I hope I'm overreacting. He's currently at work.

Ps. We open each other's post. We think nothing of it - usually. It's always junk or bills

You should re seal it & let him open it when you're with him & see what he says if he says nothing then ask what's that & see how he reacts & what he says, then form your conclusion from that.

RTFT! The OP spoke to her DH about this 24 hours ago.

Or she could go back in time 2s hours and repeat what she did then

MNHQ please invent a function that puts everyone who doesn't understand how to read a thread on a 24 hour time out

Casual meeting, chat, 'Have you read X?' Him: 'No.' Her: 'I'll put a copy in the post.' She does so and forgets to put a note in. That sounds more likely to me, if you have no other reason to doubt him.

It could just be some nut job thinking ur marriage is in trouble or just someone trying to stir the sh1t . Honestly are people like that about. I’ve been there

The people still guessing. I honestly don't know if their winding me up or not 😂😂😂

@BloggersBlog

Ah I get it - "it is from the JWs" is the new "cancel the cheque"

I was thinking this last night.

Perhaps, some time way into the future, opticians will print out this thread to test whether people can read.

Love a good mystery, thanks for letting us know the result!

P.S, I open my husbands post 😂

@cantsleepwontsleep1

Yes my guess is Jehovah Witnesses. We received something similar in the post and it was handwritten.

This.

And don't message him.
Ask him in person.

Obviously they're guessing. We don't actually know any more than you do, OP.

AGGGHHHHH

AT LEAST JW TAKE THE TIME TO READ TO THE END !

@fullofhope100

Read the thread 🙄

😂😂 it's funny cos it's true.

@OnSilverStars

This was the font difference! Not that much 🙈

Love it how some people are still arguing that I should open my husbands mail. 😂 good old mums net, eh?!

This thread has made my day! So funny!

It's kind of obvious now that it's an eye test! 🤣

I received a handwritten letter in Hungarian (my dad was Hungarian but I don’t speak any) a whole a4 side and then some. I did a little research and concluded it
Was Jehovah witness... no idea how they got
My address or why they choose me... the Hungarian part I figured as my last name is very classic Hungarian... when I first received it I was very confused too though. Thought it was a relative or something. But no...
Jehovah’s...

Not that it is the point of the thread but I am in North Yorkshire and have noticed my letters have gone through the Tyneside dispatch centre. I assumed it was because of the Royal Mail not coping. May be wrong.

Is your marriage ok? Maybe you think its ok, but he does not? Maybe he asked someone to send it over because he thinks the marriage is having some issues and he wants you to know how he feels! I would take the message coming across from the book and after dinner, ask him if he thinks the marriage needs improvement and ask him for his suggestions?

see how I can improve the marriage!

The "see all" on the OPs posts is so useful to quickly catch up on a thread. Wish people would use it!

Spoiler Alert! It was an eye test people!

You really buy that excuse!?

Haha! So funny!

My sister is an optometrist and has a book of passages she asks people to read as part of the eye test.

hsimoukhuede

Never mind her marriage - is your eyesight ok?.. READ. THE .THREAD

@icedgem85

You really buy that excuse!?

His reaction to the letter was exactly that of an innocent man. Bewilderment.

My bad 🙈 it just popped up in my emails & I only read the first post.

I'd stop beating yourself up and ask him outright!

ps - I also find it rather easy to tell a woman's handwriting 90% of the time.

pps - I hope that everything works out ok and that you have a large glass of wine in hand!

Or maybe he bought it off ebay.
