I returned home after a short business trip and instead of unpacking, I just plopped down on the couch and turned on the news. I have a habit of sitting in the same spot on the couch and for some reason the a gel from the couch to the wall mounted TV just seemed to be a bit off. I moved a little, adjusted the coffee table and finally got intbe right spot. And that's when I noticed it. There on the carpet just in front of the coffee table was one of my wife's fake eyelashes.
I've been married for just over ten years and I know my wife and her idiosyncrasies very well and it was way out of character for her teave one of her ridiculously expensive eyelashes on the floor. My wife is an attractive 36 year old woman with a type "A" personality, but she can be a bit frugal. That eyelash and the couch being out of place made me wonder.
When my wife got home later that evening I noticed something different about her. I travel on a regular basis for business and although she's always happy to see me when I come home. I could tell something was a little off this time. When I hugged her she almost seemed to pull back a little. I'm not much of a suspicious person, and there's never been a question in our marriage, but I elected not to ask her about the eyelash. Something wasn't right, but I just didn't know what it was.
Things got back to normal, but I did notice that my wife seemed to spend more time at the gym each week and focus considerably more on her diet. Not that that's a bad thing, but we liked to go out for drinks a couple times a week and I noticed that her drink of choice had become sparkling water.
I'm afraid I let my imagination get the best of me and I began looking for differences in my wife's behavior as it related to our relationship. Infidelity had never been a consideration, but things just seem different and I just had to know. It seemed to "feel" different every time I returned from a few days out of town.
I decided to purchase one of those hidden cameras and place it in our bedroom for the next time I went out of town. I know, very untrusting of me. But I was married to a beautiful woman and I'm just an average guy with an active imagination. So in went the camera.
On the flight back home anticipation was driving me crazy. I had hoped I would find nothing on that secretly placed bedroom camera and I also hoped I had installed it correctly. It was motion activated and I had three days worth through when I got home
My arrival time put me at home in the evening and once again my returning hug seemed a bit tentative from my wife. I patiently waited for her to go to sleep that evening and then I retrieve the camera. I removed the disc and placed it into my laptop and began to watch. There wasn't much to see except two nights of an attractive woman in pajamas going to bed.
It was on the 3rd Day of recorded video that I saw my wife enter the bedroom and change from her business attire into a sports bra and spandex shorts. That's not what she wears to the gym, and what was she doing home from work at mid-morning.
The angel of the hidden camera provided me with a limited view outside the bedroom however it didn't include the hallway that led to the living room. And that's where I saw something unusual. Unfortunately it was too far away, the motion detection system picked up what look like my wife moving the couch the coffee table and a chair from the living room.
I wasn't sure what I was going to see next, but in the upper left corner of the video I could see the outline of another person in the living room with my wife. It wasn't a handsome young man, but it was someone closer to my wife's size. The image was small and hard to see because of the distance. I wasn't able to zoom in, but after carefully watching I could tell it was another woman. I could only catch glimpses of what was occurring in the living room, and at first it seemed that both women were stretching. Was my wife holding exercise classes during the day in our home? None of this made sense.
What I saw next really surprised me, at first I thought they were dancing. They seem to move around the room, but together. I backed the video up several times to look closely and then I realized what was happening. They were fighting. Yes, my wife was fighting another woman in our home and I captured it on video.
Two things went through my mind: one, what in the world is my wife doing? Two, I need to find a better location for that hidden camera because I wanted to see more of this
