Pig Farm
I knew my wife was cheating on me. Don’t ask me how I knew, I just knew. You know how sometimes you just KNOW that someone is lying, or someone is keeping something from you? Well, I had had that feeling for a few months with Michelle.
I noticed things were wrong when she started to be more attentive towards me. She would tell me she loved me at least two or three times a day. We wouldn’t often have sex, but she was very affectionate…too affectionate, I now realize. It was out of character for her to be like that; she’d always been a bit standoffish when it came to intimacy between us. More often than not, I was the one who would initiate sex, hug her, or even give her a kiss in the morning. But then she started being overly loving and affectionate…and my cynical side came out.
Of course, as usual, I was far too chicken-shit to say anything. I was too scared of her, too scared of the reaction I’d get.
Mostly I was too scared she’d confirm my suspicions.
Is it better to live with suspicion and doubt than to know the truth? Especially when the truth would break your heart? I suppose there are arguments for both sides there,
