Trickle Truth Timeline

The Bore discovers the affair.  He confronts The Mister about it.  The Mister assures him that it is over.  All of this, of course, was unbeknownst to me.

The Mister gets a phone call from The Whore.  I had just told him that he could talk to her, but he had to make it clear that he only considered her a friend.  He claims he did just that and let me know of the phone call right away.  After hearing that, I laid in bed ruminating.  I fought the urge to send her a "step off my man" text because I knew it wasn't going to do any good.  Instead, I decided to make sure HER husband was privy to the fact that she's still contacting him.  I figured it shouldn't be an issue if she's been as open and honest with him about everything as she claimed, right?  So, I text him.

Later that night, while I was out.  The Mister talked to The Bore on the phone (and The Whore was around as well).  I was told that the three of them agreed that it's best that we just part ways.  I was annoyed that I was left out of this little pow-wow, but happy that the nightmare was finally over (or so I thought).

The Mister asked me to block them on everything - our phones, Facebook, email, etc.  I even went so far as to bump up our home phone plan (costing us an extra $5/month), so that we had the ability to block numbers.

This was my last week of work before going on maternity leave after having the baby.  Suddenly,  my intuition started nagging me. So, I checked up on him (keep in mind he said I could do this if I needed peace of mind). I find an email about a Google voice number in his Gmail trash. So, I sign into that. At first, i don't find anything, but then I notice there is a Trash there too. And what do I find there? A lengthy call to The Whore from the day before. Since I'm at work when this is going on, I send a text message that says "I just want you to know that I know." To which, he played dumb. Even when I came home and silently placed my ring on the counter in front of him, he says "what's this all about?"

I basically NEVER cuss, but that night I uttered more obscenities than I probably have in my entire life prior to that. I told him at that point,  I never even told him he had to stop talking to her, I just wanted him to be HONEST about it. He claimed at the time was that he didn't like the way their last conversation ended and felt like he needed "real" closure and didn't think it was going to be an issue because I'd never find out. Oh and he didn't think I would get so mad that I would leave... (this REALLY pissed me off).  Things got ugly, but I didn't end up kicking him out because he had to go to work.  It was a couple of days before I agreed to put my ring back on.  He claimed that she was out of our lives for good and he would prove to me that I could trust him again.

I gave birth to our third child.

The Mister left me alone in the hospital, under the guise that he was going shooting, instead he decided to treat himself with a little birthday romp with The Whore.

08/31/12
I get a text message from The Bore that The Mister is still calling.  I was so confused because I had just been told earlier that morning by a mutual friend that The Whore posted on Facebook that she had changed her phone numbers.  I confronted The Mister, he denied it and said The Whore was crazy.  So, I responded to The Bore, asking how that happened when their numbers were blocked AND they got a new number.  He said that The Mister had called from his parent's house and said they changed their numbers because of his phone call  The Mister had been to his parent's house earlier that day.  He still tried to deny, but I pushed - how would they know that he was at his parent's house?  After a bit more prodding, he finally admitted that he called.  He claimed that he left a message telling her to stop sending him text messages.  Once again, making her look like she went crazy because he turned her down.

The changing of the phone numbers didn't sit right with me.  I noticed that The Whore had unblocked me on Facebook, so I sent her a message asking about it.  I didn't receive a response for a day or two, so I sent another one that said "Never mind, I see now that you just unblocked me to see who told me that you changed your number.  I now won't be able to block your numbers like The Mister asked, but oh well."  And then I blocked her.

I received an email from The Whore.  She told me that the phone call was because The Whore and The Mister made the mutual decision to end their affair because the stress was getting to both of them.  WHAT!?  I honestly thought that her craziness went to a whole new level.  I forwarded this email to The Mister, who was downstairs.  He came upstairs looking like a cornered wild animal.  He insisted that it was not true and he had no idea why she would say something like that.  At the time, I thought his demeanor was because he was finally seeing The Whore for the horrible person that I thought she was.  I now know that he was in a panic because he thought the jig was up.  He (again) vowed that she was out of our lives for good.  I (again) believed him.
