I’ve only slept with one man. DH has only slept with one woman. I’ve been with DH for over 40 years. We got together when I was 17 and he was 19. Fell pregnant with twins at that age, too. I had experienced sexual stuff with boys prior DH, but never intercourse.
I was disowned when I was pregnant and DH was an orphan so he had no family. Being young parents and being on our own was very difficult. We had our moments of great arguments and disagreements (those first couple of years – woo boy!) but at no point did we ever feel we were on the brink of breaking up. We loved each other, and the fact that our sons needed us to be at our best definitely reinforced our union.
We have a new neighbor. She moved in 3 months ago. She has been divorced 3 times. Right now she’s in a phase of casual dating. Last weekend we had a little together with some of the parents in the neighborhood at our house. Wine loosens the tongue, and we got talking. The topic ended up to I and DH’s marriage. The neighbor couldn’t believe that neither of us had been with another person.

Three days ago she sent me a text – she’s convinced DH is cheating on me because “men are incapable of staying faithful to one woman for their entire life" (I find such a statement ironic since she did admit she cheated on her second husband). She said “men need to see different vaginas” (I’m quoting her word for word here!). She added that I should watch him closely.
I showed it to DH and we laughed for a long time. Yesterday, she sent me another text reiterating her stance. Initially I and DH found it amusing. Now it's just annoying.
