Am I Reading Too Much into this?

The very first thing that I thought of when I read that. By the time I had finished reading all the serious replies, I had forgotten about that part.

Outside of my obvious memory failure, I'm glad to know that ultimately, I "got it" and that you and the missus are very happy.

Get one of those nanny cams and you'll find out for sure. And if she is being bad email her a link to the video on YouTube That'll teach her...:thumbup:... Seriously though your probably reading to much into it...
But hey the hidden Nanny Cam would be the best course of action...IMO... Good Luck.
 
Funny post! I would have suggested anyone who found themself in that kind of situation to thank the powers that be for providing such an understanding spouse. She pays for you to do what you enjoy, and if she takes the opportunity to do what she enjoys, so be it. :D :D

Thanks for a good chuckle!

I think you are reading to much into it, but if you can't shake the feeling ask her to go with you at the last minute, see what she says beause if she is fooling around and has plans for when you go away she will hesitate and you'll be able to tell, she's your wife you should be able to tell if she infact is lying.

It was meant tongue in cheek. I figured this forum was going the way of Dear Abby so I'd help it along. I've been happily married for 42 years and I have said in 100's of posts that I didn't play in many tournaments over the years. Johnnyt


JohnnyT,
Your inner circle of pals here KNEW you were "messing around" for the following reasons....
1. You've been married too long for a major kink like this to show up after all these years. By that, I mean you would have never let ANY perspective "problem" get out of control to the extent that it would get to the proportion you alluded to in the original post.

2. You're way too street-savy to appear to be so concerned about a situation like that and to then post your suspicions here of all places! IF anything was going on, and IF you were serious, you would never put your laundry HERE! (Telephone, telegraph, tell-a-poolplayer!) Everybody who knows you knows that IF something had been going on, it wouldn't end in divorce court, but on the 11:00 News! :eek:

3. Plus, still staying with the theme of #2, IF you had to 'have business taken care of" (;) :eek:), you are smarter than to post something HERE before the culprit visits Jimmy Hoffa! :D At the very LEAST, you would have paid a biker chick a 50 spot to throw a wrapped fish thru the guys window at 0400!:D I know you enough to know that you always take care of things the right way, which is by being quiet until the statue of limitations expire! :D

4. You posting like you didn't know what to do was a dead (no pun intended) ringer that you were just bamboozeling. Heck, you're AZB's Chuck Norris....JohnnyT can unpop popcorn! He can surely figure something out with the little Mrs.

5. URAKMICRACKM is on the ball again! Must be a state certified psychologist or an FBI polygraph examiner, if not a full fledged profiler.
Good insight and way to read a post.

6. Will this little example of a former hoolum hoodwinking his cronies in the hood be included in your next novel?

7. "Kay Baltimore", a single digit posts new member here, tried to offer you heartfelt and sagacious advice for the betterment of mankind. But noooo, you would have none of THAT! After she persuses thru this post and reads post #20, the old as water stereotypical comment "you can never trust a pool player" would be once again ringing in her ears! Besides probably losing her to AZBowling or AZQuilting, she's probably got a few things to tell you, yes sir! :D

8. I can see you printing up a copy of this thread and passing it around the dinner table while munching on spaghetti and meatballs, laughing all the way to the garlic bread! Mrs T-"Oh John, you still have it dear!" JohnnyT-"I know, I know, please pass the cheese."

9. We SHOULD have better things to do than just hang out here reading the daily soap opera that is the world of pooldom....but we don't!.

10. This was fun and thanks for pulling our leg John. We're just thankful you left our kneecaps alone!:eek:

(I love ya , man!) :)

Sometimes you have to wonder if people read anything past the original post. :rolleyes:

Any of those would be so much more exciting than my actual job. :sorry:

For the last year my wife has been signing me up and paying for tournaments that I have to travel long distances to. Most are two days or more away from home. When I get home there is always a bill or two from the cable guy, milkman, plumber, or someone else that had to come into our home to fix something. Do you all think there is something funny going on, or is it all in my head?

If your wife were fooling around, why would she leave a trail? I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I think this forum (or any forum, I guess) would be a great training ground for psychology students in human behavior & how people communicate online.

Since she is sending you to pool tournaments, do not at all question her intentions. :thumbup2:

Could be worse ;)
 
radical option

Once upon a time I received troubling info on my (then) wife. I went to radio shack and got a recording device which allowed me to record phone calls. In my state, a "one party consent" state, it is legal to record phone calls. As long as you are on the call it is legal and the other party(s) does not need to be notified.

Anyway, I went home from a biz trip a day earlier than anticipated and immediately hooked up this simple and inexpensive device. I didn't know how to properly operate it :rolleyes: and low and behold it captured a call between frick and frack within 10 minutes of my hooking it up. Yup, my wife had a lover and he was told their hookup for that night was off.

I (obviously) could not use this info to prove marital misconduct or adultery, but it confirmed my worst fears. I contacted an attorney, learned what I needed. I then searched around, found enough info, confronted her with it, and got the confession. She was barred from receiving alimony. (Some states are "no fault" so this may not apply)

I would not recommend this avenue lightly, as it is a huge breach of trust and illegal if used intentionally/improperly, but given the serious info I initially received, it was the option I felt warranted to choose.

It does not sound like you are at this point, and hopefully never will be, but if the writing gets on the wall, it may be worthy of consideration in the absence of other options.

BTW, the statute of limitations is over on my unintentional transgression.

My heart goes out to you Johnny, and hope there's no merit to your concerns.

GL,

Matt

you mean the wife signing you up to be away from home for 2 days or more?

if you want to find out if something's getting fixed borrow a friends car next time she sends you away. pretend to leave and stake out the house when you're supposed to be gone. if things are on the up and up tell her you lost quick (got a couple of bad rolls) and if things aren't on the up and up do what ever you want
 
Has anyone read the other posts/replies? If not, check out Post Number 20.

And then Post Number Number 32. :thumbup:
