Caught My Wife in a Lie… Am I Wrong for Asking Her to Leave?
Four days ago, my wife told me she had a night shift. That night, I stayed home alone with our 9-month-old baby boy. Her mother was around to help, but I still felt lonely, so I decided to surprise her at work. She had mentioned before that she sometimes gets a break between 1 AM and 3 AM, so I thought we could meet briefly, have a drink, and talk in the car. When I got to her workplace, I was told she wasn’t on duty. I asked the staff to double-check, and they confirmed she didn’t work that night. I called her, but she didn’t pick up. So I went home. I was so upset I couldn’t even go to work the next day. She came back around 8 AM and seemed surprised to see me home. She asked why I didn’t go to work, but I didn’t respond. Later, after she bathed, I asked her in front of her mother where she had been coming from. She insisted she was at work. I then asked her to call her workplace in front of both of us to confirm, since I had already been there and was told she wasn’t on duty. She refused. She said if I didn’t trust her, she had nothing to prove. I told them both that if she couldn’t explain, she should leave the house that same day. After some back and forth, she later said she would call her workplace to clear things up. But by then, I was already suspicious that she might try to cover it up, so I told her not to call anymore—just tell me the truth. I gave her 24 hours to be honest. She still didn’t. Even after her mother pleaded with her. So I asked her to leave the house this morning. Now her mother is calling people to intervene, but I feel she is hiding something and I can’t ignore it. I keep thinking I know my wife, and this doesn’t add up. Am I wrong for asking her to leave, or am I doing the right thing? I will be reading the comments. Thank you.
