Your wife and your friend betrayed youtr trust. The extent of the betrayal is in doubt, but not the fact of betrayal. Now your wife is compounding that betrayal with dishonesty. Neither respects you as a man. The only one who acted with any honor was the friend who tried his best to warn you. The question now is what can you live with?

 
Married, father of one. I still can't get past the question, what is the end game here? I mean, what does the OP want to happen? Where is it all going to end? And if he starts going to George, who you know is going to tell his wife, then she tells Jim's wife, who tells Jim, then the whole group of friends now has this really uncomfortable cloud hanging over it because of something two people may or may not have done. No one is going to tell the truth here either cause they don't remember all the details or don't want to. And the OP is going to just keep getting more and more unnerved because of all of us who don't know any of these people involved until it becomes this inescapable tension and relationships of people who may totally love each other start suffering. You learned a lesson about getting this hammered and in these situations, and it sounds like your wife definitely did as well. I wish you the best of luck with coming to terms however you need to with what happened this past weekend, but I would only advise you to keep in mind with what you want the outcome to be.
:bag:
 
You should know your wife well enough to approach this in conversation and interpret her answer as being truthful or not. Sorry to hear about this. I think you may be in for some bad news.

 
Nobody wants to talk about the 1200 lb. Elephant in the room so I will...

I take back what I said about doing nothing for a year, if you want to look at the worst case scenarios....

Your wife is pregnant with Steve's child
Your wife got an STD from SteveYou should get to the bottom of what happened regardless of how often you see Steve.

I had something along the same vein happen to me once. All I can say is this. Your other friends know what happened. They could tell you exactly what went down as everyone was walking to the bathroom, what happened at the bathroom, what Steve was acting like, what your wife was acting like, etc. And if they knew they were in the bathroom together, why would they leave them there before returning to the campsite? Most likely they aren't going to want to be completely frank with you because they'll feel like they shouldn't get in the middle or it isn't their business. But if they're real friends, it is their business to tell you.If it was me, these two things would make me suspicious.

A few minutes later, they came walking back to the site together. George asked them what was going on and Steve just laughed.
She remebers things from the night, but does not remember going into the stall with the guy, nor does she remember anything happening. She kind of freaked out about this, and I certainly wish I'd have listned to George and walked to the bathroom to check on them.
I don't care how drunk you are- people don't just forget about things like this. You may forget minor details, but come on. It sounds more like two people who are being deliberately vague with you. Sorry to be the voice of negativity and I hope for your peace of mind that nothing happened. But I'd say you have every right to be suspicious and pissed off.
:thumbdown: I'd say this kind of thing would pretty much put an end to camping trips with Steve if you cannot get a satisfactory answer to what happened in that bathroom stall. In fact, I don't think I'd be camping with Steve anymore even if you got a satisfactory explanation... if it is true that your wife and Steve were drunk and in the same bathroom stall, that in itself indicates a problem with personal boundaries between those two.
:lmao:
 
Don't take this the wrong way, but you laugh a lot for someone who's wife was macking on someone else. I'll never get why ppl get so damn drunk they don't even remember what the hell happened throughout a night. :thumbdown:

oh, and you call the guy and find out the events, i'd almost play it off as saying your wife told you everything and you want to clarify it with him.

What are you gonna do if it turns out you wife and him had the secks?
This might be a good idea to find out the truth.

DAMN! Never thought about that! FWIW, after my ex informed me of her "extra marital" activities, I was tested the next day. I was not going to suffer for her having rampant sex! Been divorced for 12 years no and a few years ago, she told me she ended up with an STD! I was/am clean, but you never know.

This is correct.
 
It's pretty clear that at the VERY least, your wife needs to cut WAY back on her drinking. If she was so drunk that she'd be foolish enough to possibly fool around like that, or even create the impression that she did, and she claims that she doesn't even remember what happened, she has a drinking problem. She needs to cut the booze out.

And I agree with Black Box in that you should talk to George face to face if possible.

:yes: tricky, yes, but it works for the most part, he will think that she told him the whole story, and so he will tell what he remembers, ( which will most likley be the truth ) Think about it, our parents use to do this #### with us and siblings....it always resulted in teh truth coming out. Cops use it when they have 2 ppl in trouble, usually results in the truth coming out bc the one being questioned thinks the truth is already known.

 
This story seriously made me ill. If your wife was that drunk, why wouldn't you escort her to the bathroom? The whole situation could of been avoided and you wouldn't be seeing red. Also, why wouldn't you walk up there when George told you what was going on? TWICE!!

Your at fault for not being a good husband.

And you dropped off sick kids.......Dude, WT%?

yeah, cause a WIFE shouldn't be responsible for her own actions...she sounds like a good one too! :yes:
 
Ok my perspective on this....

What most likely happened is that this Steve might have taken or tried to take advantage of your wife. She was probably in such a stupor that she didn't realize what was happening. Because why would she talk about her puppies being out if she knowingly thought something illicit happened...

That being said, I would confront the wife saying "I'm afraid Steve was trying to take advantage of you while you were drunk in the stall..What the hell happened?"

Then I would confront Steve and give him a severe talking to along the lines "If you ever come near my wife again, I'm gonna get medieval on your ###"

Rule of thumb though, when your chick is drunk, you never leave her alone especially with another guy..

What? Its not like his friend got drunk and wrecked his car or ate his Butterfinger: dude fooled around with his wife. That's like crossing the DMZ, you just don't do it. There's obviously something going on, he can try to ignore it but its gonna come out sooner or later.

The way to play it is to tell the friend wife told you what happend but want to hear it from him. If he owns up then either knock him out or walk away, either way Steve is out of the picture for good. If he doesn't own up, then you play wife and steve off agianst each other telling one that the other blames them but you want the truth. The fact that they walked back together and at least one of them was laughing makes me think this is not good.
 
UPDATE:

George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......

 
I don't see how anyone would trust the wife until this got resoved and Steve should be out of the picture.
It doesn't sound like his wife remembers anything. She was the one who asked what happened to her bra:
Later that night, my wife wasn't feeling well, as she drank way too much. She walked up to the bathroom, and walked up a few minutes later to check on her. She was doing OK, but wanted to walk back to the campsite. As she walked out of the bathroom, she said "Hey, my #### are haning out of my bra." I asked how that happened, and she had no idea.
If I were inclined to do anything, I would ask Steve about it. If you think Steve was sober enough to be trying to take advantage of your wife, that would be a problem. If I trusted my wife up until that night, and she told me honestly that she didn't remember, I would believe her. I may talk about what we will do in the future when drinking is involved, but I don't think she consciously went after Steve.
I agree with all of this, and I agree with everything Kilgore has said in this thread. I don't know why people find it hard to believe she doesn't remember. I have had alcohol induced blackouts more times that I would like to admit. Especially back in college. I would have different bar stamps on my hands, and I'd have no recollection of being at some, or just bits and pieces of being there. I guess it would depend on what I ate that day, my body chemistry, if I was tired, and what I was drinking, and how much. Sometimes I would just forgot a 30 minute time span, other times it would be more. People would tell me the next day that I seemed ok, just a little intoxicated. That's scary.
 
UPDATE:George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......
Well, imo, I think the next move is to tell the wife no more hanging around Steve. The flirting and drinking are not a good mix.

Its his wife, not his pet monkey.
 
I also don't really buy that she doesn't remember - I don't see how the bra thing contradicts this as she said the bra thing while she was extremely drunk and obviously lacking in judgement.
How come people don't buy this? Heavy drinking can induce blackouts. :confused: She was throwing up the next day, a clear sign that she had way too much too drink. MIYH knows more about his wife than we do, so it really depends on if he thinks she's lying. But from an earlier post, it sounds like he trusts her.
I have been way drunk many times in my life and on many of those occasions I have had relations of some sort with a woman and each time I woke up the next day knowing exactly what I did with my little buddy and what I didnt. She knows what happend, she may just be choosing to forget about it. All I know is I can accomplish quite a bit in 15 mins.
Good point. You need to talk to the wife again. I too have been to the point of passing out but I always remembered what happened. I may not like what I remembered but I still remembered. Also, I thought that when people got drunk and couldn’t remember it was after they woke up the next morning. It sounds like she never passed out but had a 15 minute time span where she "blacked out", convenient. I would also think that if she was groped against her will she would have remembered that or at could have told you when you saw her. Sounds to me like she is hiding something. I could be completely wrong here but it’s worth it to talk to her one more time.
 
UPDATE:

George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......
I don't think you need George to confirm what happened, I am leaning towards the bolded part above.
 
George can't remember b/c George doesn't think he should be the one to tell you.

Confront your wife. Get answers. Tell her that you'll have an easier time with knowing what happened if you actually know what happened. Tell her the suspense is driving you (and your iFriends in the FFA) batty.

:confused: If you want to repair your marriage you should be completely honest with your wife.

 
And if he starts going to George, who you know is going to tell his wife, then she tells Jim's wife, who tells Jim, then the whole group of friends now has this really uncomfortable cloud hanging over it because of something two people may or may not have done.
If George remembers anything and is the type of person who would be inclined to tell his wife at MITYH's inquiry, he's already told his wife what he knows, and this is likely to happen anyway.If he really didn't remember any of it, then yeah, maybe a little game of telephone is about to take place here.
 
UPDATE:George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......
I think George has done more than his part - leave him out of this.Confront the wife and based on what she says (and if you interprete her as lying) - Steve gets a beat down. If Steve does not deserve the beat down - too bad. At this point he has screwed up to the point that he knows he deserves it.
 
UPDATE:George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......
:bs:
Agreed.I think you have to press George harder.He is in a situation he doesn't want to be in (and may be a bit pissed at you for not taking his advice in the first place).But you have to impart to him how important it is for you to get the truth. Ask him to put himself in your position.He obviously has loyalties to Steve, but you have to get him past that. Don't give up until you get something.
 
UPDATE:George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......
I think that you should cut to the chase and call Steve and get his take on this now.....
:bs: Call or better yet make a surprise visit and catch him off guard and you can read his body language and tone. Emailing would be useless.
 
Were all of your friends exposed to something in college that makes them more susceptible to memory loss after drinking? I have to raise the :bs: flag here too. George knows what happened and wants no part of what comes next.

 
Reeks to me... Noone remembers anything? Was everyone downing shots of grain? Not everyone blacked out.

 
UPDATE:George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......
Why are you asking George and not Steve? Seems to me bringing others into this is just asking for gossip. If you want to know what Steve and your wife might have done, ask Steve. I believe your wife probably did black out, so asking her is useless. If Steve doesn't remember either, then move on, and for now on watch your wife and your own alcohol consumption.
 
George obviously consulted with some frinds from a message board, and they told him, "Dude, don't get involved."

 
UPDATE:George just told me he has no recollection of this either. I can't tell if that's the truth or if he's trying to stay out of it. This makes things even more confusing for me......
Translated: I offered you a chance when we could have done something, I offered you a chance to be a cop and you blew it! You blew it.

This is probably one of those times you need a sit down. It's too easy to get away with it in an email.LAUNCH
 
Why is everyone saying he should "shake down" George for info. George saw them go into a stall together but he left right away after going to the bathroom. Unless Steve is a complete moron who brags about banging a friends wife what is George going to know. He had his suspicions and mentioned them as soon as he got back. I don't think he really knows everything that happened.

This really sucks and I feel bad for you. I just find it very suspicious that your wife conveniently had to go to the bathroom the same time that Steve did. I'm in the camp that she's knows more than she's letting on.

:bs: Unless she told them all "its GB time at the stalls!" other then seeing them go in together, what else does George know?
 
Both wife and George are claiming amnesia. Steve won't admit to anything if he has any kind of brain. Unless you push your wife or George, you will never get a straight story.

You are making a ton of assumptions here. Maybe George doesn't remember anything. Maybe nothing happened at all. There is only some very circumstantial evidence here. I am inclined to think that Steve would be the last person in this to tell the truth, so what MITYH is going to be faced with is three people saying they either don't remember or that nothing happened. If he trusts his wife, than it will probably be best to let this thing die, although I know he will have doubts in the back of his mind for quite awhile.
