She Witnessed Her Husband Digging Through Her Purse, And She’s Concerned About Why He Felt The Need To Do This
This 32-year-old woman and her 33-year-old husband were having a relaxing night at home after finishing work, and she was absolutely wiped out.
Her husband said she should probably take a hot shower to help her feel better, so she took him up on his suggestion.
After she got out of the shower, she witnessed her husband sitting on their bed, digging through her purse.
“Laid out in front of him were some of the contents – a few receipts, my cards, and my money,” she explained.
“I was so shocked I just stood there in silence for a second. He clearly hadn’t immediately noticed me, and when he caught a glimpse of me, he almost jumped out of his skin. I asked him what he was doing with my purse, and he started laughing and said he “just wanted to see what I get up to.”
“That comment really confused me, and when I asked what that meant, he just laughed and said it didn’t matter. He put everything back and handed me my purse before getting up and leaving the room. I was pretty much stunned by what had happened, as well as my husband’s weird reaction.”
For the remainder of the night, she attempted to talk to her husband several more times about what happened with her purse, but he shooed her away and maintained he was curious about what she kept inside.
She pointed out to her husband that it made her really uneasy to witness him going through her purse when he knew she wasn’t looking.
He got offended by this, and her husband retorted that, as married people, they need to share everything and hide nothing.

Her husband has never once acted like this in the time that she has known him, and the incident really left her shaken.
When they finally went to bed that night, she still did not have a plausible explanation as to why her husband felt the need to go through her personal things.
The following day, she phoned her parents to fill them in, and they were just as alarmed as she was, which was reassuring.
She knows she’s not blowing this out of proportion, and her parents stated she should have a serious conversation with her husband about it.
As soon as she tried to sit down with her husband, he claimed she was overreacting, and she still was left with more questions than answers.
“I confided in my friend over this as well, and she theorized whether my husband had suspected me of infidelity or had wanted to steal the money in my purse,” she continued.
“Both options upset me to consider, but I know they’re both possibilities. As of right now, I haven’t caught him with my purse again and I make efforts to keep it with me as much as I can.”
“I would like some advice on how I can navigate this situation. It’s really confusing to me, even more, so that he refuses to enlighten me anymore on what his intentions were. It for sure gives me cause for concern, but how am I meant to address it when I have tried multiple times, and he still hasn’t listened to me?”
