Dear Fonseca
First I love listening to you on the weekends!
Listen to this....
My mouth hit the floor as I was doing laundry on Saturday. I was sorting clothes when I came across a new pair of underwear from my husband. They are white with red hearts. I ran into his man cave and questioned him. He said a female co-worker gave him the underwear as a Secret Santa gift. I have long suspected this woman has a crush on my husband. My husband says he wore the underwear last week as a joke. I told him that I am throwing out the underwear and that he never should have worn them. He disagrees and says they are a gag gift. I told him that wearing the underwear was disrespectful and almost like cheating because he was keeping them a secret from me. Have I overreacted? Should my husband apologize? Your thoughts?
What do you think?
