DEAR ANNIE: I’m still bothered by memories that are over 20 years old. I mostly just want to know the truth of this situation. Here is the incredible and unlikely story that I have shared with no one.
We had two children, and I was working nights at the time. There were some occasions when they spent time alone together at our home. I figured it was okay since he was a priest, and I trusted my wife. Well, on one of the late nights of having our guest over for dinner, I pretended to fall asleep on the couch to see how the two behaved when I wasn’t watching.
I’ve tried many times over the last two decades to get her to tell me what was said. I wish I had called the priest the next day to see if he would tell me. I’m guessing I would not like what was communicated, but I’m sure I could cope with the truth of the matter better than hearing her say, “I still don’t remember what I said to him.”
DEAR STILL WAITING: Trust in your partner is a primary pillar of any successful relationship. This incident with the priest, though decades ago, left a dent in your wife’s pillar. Seek the help of a couples therapist to communicate why it matters so much to you to learn the truth about this encounter and create the right environment for her to do so.
