In a letter, a woman named Paris told a story about something that happened in her family. Because of what she found, the woman may not have had a happy family life. Weird things were happening in her house.
“My husband George and I have been happily married for over 10 years now,” Paris began her letter. We’ve always been on the same wave and never kept anything from each other. George cares about his family, loves me, and I knew he would always be there for me. Until the day we moved into our apartment nine months ago.
“One day, I had to go on a long, tiring business trip to another state,” the woman said. George and I talked on the phone and sent each other a lot of texts while I was away for eight days. I was pretty sure that he missed me too.
Since it was hot outside and I was sweating a lot, the first thing I did when I got home was take a shower. So, as soon as I got home from the airport, I went to the bathroom. When I opened one of the bathroom drawers, I saw four tampons lying on top of my important things. I didn’t own them. I gasped in shock.
The woman didn’t guess; she told her husband what was going on.
Paris said, “George was the only person who could really tell me where these tampons came from.” I quickly ran over to him with these tampons and told him I had to know where they came from. But he didn’t believe it. He just rolled his eyes and said something like, “Why should a man know anything about tampons that are meant for women?” I believed they were yours!’»
Paris was completely shocked, but since her husband hadn’t given her a clear explanation, she decided not to make a big deal out of it. Besides that, she was tired from her trip, so she didn’t worry about it.
Things started to get even stranger in their house after that. “A few months ago, I started noticing tiny droplets of blood all over the floor and around the toilet in our bathroom,” Paris wrote. Of course, I remembered right away about the tampons I kept finding in our bathroom from time to time. When I asked George again about the blood stains, he said again that he had no idea where they came from.
Paris chose to look into the strange things that were going on in her family on her own.
Paris wrote, “I found two more tampons in our house one day.” Usually, my husband keeps his glasses, pocket books, and other things in a drawer next to our bed. This time, they were put there. This was the last straw. I called him and showed him the tampons again. He went on and on and then told me he had terrible nosebleeds and used these to stop them. All the things he said I didn’t believe because I knew he had a severe allergy that gave him allergic rhinitis, but he had never had a nosebleed in all the years we were together.
“I chose to put a camera in our bathroom and our bedroom as well,” the woman wrote. I didn’t tell George about that, though, and I even pretended to believe him when he said he was having nosebleeds. After that, I went on another “business trip,” but I really just spent three days with my parents. Because of everything, I wanted him to be calm and open up.
The shocking truth came out very quickly.
Paris wrote, “So, I got back from my “business trip” and waited for George to leave so I could watch the cams’ video recordings.” When I first started to watch them, there wasn’t anything illegal going on, except for him eating in bed, which I hate. Then I saw George spraying his nose with nose spray and then blowing his nose. Then he got angry and mumbled something like, “Oh no, again!” He then grabbed a tampon from his drawer and used it to stop the nosebleed he was clearly having after blowing his nose.
Thus, George was being honest when he told his wife that he was having nosebleeds. But Paris was worried about the plot that George made up about the whole thing. She waited for him to get home and then asked him the questions straight out.
“It turned out that George bought some nasal spray to help with his allergy,” Paris wrote. For that reason, he used to take pills, but this time he chose to try “something new.” He used the spray without reading the directions that came with it and in large amounts without thinking. He got these nosebleeds because of this. He wasn’t going to tell me that this spray was giving him trouble because he didn’t want me to start berating him for something he does all the time that bothers me.
George never reads the directions for anything he buys. He just uses it based on his gut feeling, which has caused him a lot of trouble in the past. This time, he did what he always does: he threw the directions away and used the spray without reading them. At the same time, I was mad and happy. That being said, I double-check George’s medicines and the way he takes them from that day on.
