The Case of the Dangly Earring
The Case of Dangling EarringMy Grandpa, whose stories are roughly 60% true, loves to tell a story about his friend, "Bob", who is from the same small town which is about the size of Wasilla. My Grandpa is not the only one to tell this particular tale, so I've reached the conlusion that it's probably true. Bob's girlfriend was at his house one day cleaning his house. While she changing the sheets on his bed, she found a lone dangly earring underneath his pillow. It normally would have been no problem, but the earring wasn't hers.
She reacted a little strongly and started yelling at him to get in the room. Bob didn't let the fact that he lived in a conservative town in the 1980's stop him from thinking quickly on his feet- he told her that the earring was his and that had been planning to pierce his ear for some sometime.
Obviously, she was skeptical. Instead of arguing the point with him further, she marched into the kitchen, grabbed a needle from the sewing kit in the kitchen drawer, and offered to pierce his ear for him.
He let her pierce his ear and wore the dangly earring for the entire small town to laugh at and mock for the entire two weeks more that their relationship lasted.

Luckily, they weren't married or in a long term relationship and neither one of them had any children, so when the relationship ended it wasn't as serious as it could be, but that's unfortunately not always the case.
What do you do when you find a "smoking gun" in the bedroom, on your partner's cell phone, on their computer or anywhere else for that matter? What do you do when your feminine (or masculine) intuition tells you that your significant other is "out of bounds" for the terms of your marital agreement?
Julia Hartley Moore, who is an expert in cheating spouses, claims that while phones are the most common ways people get caught, there are other ways to find out if your partner is cheating, most of which happen to involve a great deal of snooping, particularly into the finances. http://coaches.aol.com/love-and-sex/feature/_a/investigating-suspected-adultery/20060620104809990001
Once you have what you think is evidence that your spouse or partner is cheating, do you automatically assume the worst and try to end your relationship or are you able to stay calm in the face of overwhelming evidence? How do you handle it?
