Trust vs. Reality

We often see our spouse as the person we know best and trust the most. However, things aren’t always as they appear. Today’s story comes from someone who hides secrets from their partner but has chosen to reveal them online.

The Incident

During dinner with my husband at a restaurant, my phone’s battery was low, so I turned it off to save power. As we headed home, I suddenly panicked—I couldn’t find my phone. I frantically checked my bag and searched the car, but it was missing.

The Mistake

Certain I had left it at the restaurant, I convinced my annoyed husband to drive an hour back. With the manager’s help, we looked everywhere, but there was no sign of the phone. My heart sank when, in my panic, I reached into my jacket pocket and found it.

The Cover-Up

Embarrassed by the chaos I had caused, I didn’t want to admit my mistake. So, I pretended to check the restrooms. When I returned, I acted relieved and claimed I found it on the toilet tank. I will never tell my husband the truth.
