Possible Emma Thompson Moment

It’s my birthday next week

9 years ago DH had a short affair. We worked through it and all has been fine for a number of years.

OW had a significant birthday this week. I’ve noticed a transaction on the online bank account, which I never look at (via PayPal which he rarely uses). This set my spidery senses going. It’s from a store I never shop at and I didn’t know that he knew it even existed.

I’m now waiting to see if this present materialises. If it doesn’t it’s a deal breaker. I’m on zero tolerance.

Feeling nervous

Why on earth have you 'bumped' this thread? Confused It was only 5 minutes since the last post! How odd.

I’d feel the same as OP, but a bit more cynical. I’m 90% thinking bad behaviour.

I really hope it's a present for you OP. I haven't read the full thread but could it be for his Mum/Sister if not?

RachelTopliss · 08/07/2023 18:54

That's great news but I think your anxiety over the discovery is information you can't afford to ignore. Happy birthday 🎂 for next week too.
