The day started off like any other for my husband and me. We were on vacation in Bangkok and were spending the day sightseeing and exploring the city’s vibrant culture and bustling markets.
Little did I know that my husband had other plans.
As the evening approached, my husband announced he was going out to get a beer and would be back soon. I thought nothing of it, and assumed he would be back shortly. But he was gone for hours.
When he finally returned, my husband was acting unusually suspicious. He was avoiding eye contact and was quickly trying to get to the shower. I asked him where he had gone, but he just said he had gone for a beer.
But then I noticed something strange. He had returned to the hotel room smelling like soap. Now, I know my husband well and he’s not the type of person to smell like soap.
It was then that I knew something wasn’t quite right. I asked him again where he had been and why he was smelling like soap. He said he only drank a beer and came back.
I was in complete shock. He had been gone for so long and I had no idea he had been to but I suspected he had went to a massage parlour. He had gone behind my back and lied to me. My trust in him had completely evaporated.
I was furious with my husband and it took me a while to get over the shock.
No matter how I asked him he denied going to any soapy lands or massages. I suspect that he might have visited those dirty establishments that provides funny services.
The next 3 days of the trip was terrible, he refused to answer my questions and I kept thinking about it until the trip felt like torture.
Even after we are back in Singapore, I have no idea how to move forward from here.
