I'm starting to think that some form of this kind of trickery is the right answer - whether or not it's telling the truth."OK Steve, I've heard what happened from my wife, and now I want to hear it from you."
I'm starting to think that some form of this kind of trickery is the right answer - whether or not it's telling the truth."OK Steve, I've heard what happened from my wife, and now I want to hear it from you."
Of course he does, he is the one who tipped off Hat to begin with. Him saying he doesn't remember makes no sense. It would be very easy for him to say "Look man, all I know is what I told you that night. Your wife and Steve went into a stall together. I have no idea if anything happened." He has already said this much, so why would he now say he doesn't remember anything? He doesn't remember being concerned enough about what he saw to tell his friend twice that he should go check on his wife? That would be a very weird blackout. The kind where you are still in good enough shape to be concerned about the welfare of your friend and his wife, but drunk enough to forget the whole thing the next day.George knows something.
More info would be great but it appears he's gonna get nothinng from the wife or George. If I were MIYH this would be resolved yesterday as I would have thrown a #$%^ storm calling everyone who was there to find out what happened and I would have let my wife know that she better remember ASAP or her "I don't remember" will be interepreted as a "I finally got nailed by my college crush". I just thinking waiting is the worst move possible here.No.I am saying he will learn nothing. He needs more info otherwise Steve will claim nothing happened and he will be left with two amnesiacs.Are you seriously suggesting he shouldn't even try to confront the guy who may have doinked his wife?For all those saying he should talk to Steve, I will pretend I am Steve:Steve: Nothing happened. I have no idea why we both came out in 15 minutes--weird coincidence?Your move.
Not sure how to help him until I understand why he didn't act when he could have not only prevented this but find out for himself what was going on.This thread was not to beat up the OP on what he didn't do; it's to help him figure out what happened. Hindsight is 20/20.Exactly. I don't understand at all just sitting there.Why after say ten minutes, didn't Yellow hat walk down there? Me, if my friend said my wife went into a stall with another guy, I'd would run...not walk...run down there to see wtf was happening. I mean, come on, this is your wife bud. There is "being cool and laid back" and there is "being a fool."
threesomeDoesn't sound like any of these people are your friends. A friend would have intervened when they saw two drunk people not married to each other head into a bathroom stall together.

Maybe he trusted his wifeNot sure how to help him until I understand why he didn't act when he could have not only prevented this but find out for himself what was going on.This thread was not to beat up the OP on what he didn't do; it's to help him figure out what happened.

. Chet is right, its hindsight and really doesn't matter in the context of what he should do now.My point is all George can say is they went in the stall together. He obviously suspects something as does MIYH. George thinks he did his duty and now doesn't want to be involved in the aftermath. I understand leaning on George for more info, I just don't know that he can help.Then why is George saying he doesn't remember any of this happening???If George doesn't know anything and really did leave before anything happened - why would he say he can't remember? I DO NOT believe that he has no recollection of any of this over a 15-minute period.Put yourself in George's shoes. You go to the bathroom with Steve and Mrs. MIYH - they are flirty, extremely wasted, and go into the stall together giggling. You finish your business, then walk out of the bathroom. If you think it's out of place for them to be in the stall together - which George obvoiusly did - 99% of "George's" stop and listen for a second outside the bathroom. Those cinderblock, campsite bathrooms have a lot of echo. There's no way he didn't hear something.George knows something.Even if George was talking all he could say is that they went in the same stall and then he left them there. Start with the wife and and then move on to steve.
Trust? She admitted that she likes Steve and chased him down a dark path......drunk and then disappeared with him for 15 minutes, came back partially undressed and with Steve laughing. Trust isn't the first word that comes to mind.Maybe he trusted his wifeNot sure how to help him until I understand why he didn't act when he could have not only prevented this but find out for himself what was going on.This thread was not to beat up the OP on what he didn't do; it's to help him figure out what happened.

Dude you are moving too slow on this.
Wife already called Steve to warn him and get their story straight, and Steve already called George to tell him to mind his own business.
MIYH - since you're already having to play detective to find out what happened, I would highly recommend checking your wife's cell phone/home phone call record for the time period since the camping trip. A call to Steve would probably be the nail in the coffin in terms of confirming that something happened.Lots of people will offer the advice of not letting a drunken encounter destroy what you have built together. I've always found that advice curious since had you trul built something together she would not have cuckholded you. There is no respect here. There can no longer be trust here. There is no honesty here. without those how can there be love?Sadly she could have started building something here by showing you the respect to be honest with you. Maybe from that base, and on behalf of the children, you could have built something. As to what to do that is dependant on your values and character. What I might do should have no bearing on your decision.
You need to find out the truth. What you do after that is up to you.Agreed.....Check the cell phone records.. Also I wonder what this Steve's wife thinks about all this? You know if #### hits the fan, you can always give her a callDude you are moving too slow on this.

"OK Steve, I've heard what happened from my wife, and now I want to hear it from you."
no, excellent--Let's see how fast on his feet ol' Stevie is when he's given that loaded question to deal with--proninja said:Ok, I'm going to take issue with something else.

You lack them. You come onto the FFA saying "gee, do you think anything happened" when all of us have a pretty damn good idea what happened.

You're acting like a wimp, your wife cheated on you with you right there, the guy she did it with laughed in your face, and now you've got a board full of strangers all thinking the same thing - "Man, this poor guy's kind of a limp-****."

If I had more FFA equity I would have posted the same other than forgiveness talk, which seems premature at this point.Like I said earlier, none of these people are your friends.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......

When you have the kid in 9 months, don't be concerned if it looks like Steve.
You're twisting the facts to what you think happened. She admitted a while back (MITYH did not say how long ago) that she had a crush on Steve way back in college almost 10 years ago. And she didn't necesarily chase him down the path, 2 guys were going to the bathroom and she needed to go to. I don't think I would have a problem with my wife going down a path with a couple of my good married male friends to go to the bathroom while camping. And lastly, it wasn't until later in the night that she realized her puppies were out of her bra, and this was just after another trip to the bathroom. While I agree that there is circumstantial evidence here, we still don't know what exactly happened. I don't know what to make about Steve laughing as I was not privy to the conversation.My question to MITYH would be why he thought things were so innocent the night before even after getting all this info, but then only later started to think there was a problem.Trust? She admitted that she likes Steve and chased him down a dark path......drunk and then disappeared with him for 15 minutes, came back partially undressed and with Steve laughing. Trust isn't the first word that comes to mind.

Nail on head, meet proninja.Until reading this, I didn't even realize that "Have wife call Steve" was an option. That really changes the way I now view this whole thread. Seriously.[wife calling while you stand right there]Mrs. MIYH: Uh, hi, steve, it's me. Hey. Listen, I have to ask you something. Did anything go on between us on that camping trip? I was really drunk, and don't remember, but my husband seems to think something may have happened. Really, you sure? Ok, great.[hangs up]Mrs. MIYH: Well, sounds like nothing happened.MIYH:proninja said:Ok, I'm going to take issue with something else. Option 3 - Have wife call Steve to see what happened.What.

...and how! We've gotten to a point know where people are starting to light the torches and sharpen the pitchforks, and yet in the moment, nothing.You're twisting the facts to what you think happened.

On the other hand, if you love your wife dearly and would never want to be divorced, your situation suXor. If this is the case, you have a couple of options:
1. Go to Steve's house and go ballistic. If he's bigger than you and you can't beat the crap out of him, than . . . I don't know, just flip out, kick his cat, pee on his furniture, break a few windows, whatever. You've got to make a point here, and that point is "don't #### with the man with the yellow hat." You've got to do SOMETHING to make that point. If you are a smallish, weakish, timidish, kind of guy, than you gotta think outside of the box a little bit, really explore your space. You've got to let everybody concerned know -- Steve, George, your wife, everybody, that this #### can never ever happen again. Then make amends with your wife, tell her that you are sorry you flipped out, you don't know what got into you, etc.
Crap that is funny!No, they didn't.cosjobs said:You and your wife both drank to the point of blackout.
No, it shouldn't.This is what should be your first concern.

I won't quote the whole post because a couple of guys already have, but this is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking. Ninja's whole post was spot-on.In addition to my suggestion to go nuts on Steve, you gotta lay it on your wife a little bit too. Nothing physical, but you may want to give her a vision of what it would be like to live the life of a single, divorced, mom. Talk about splitting up, selling the house, splitting days with the kids. Do something, show a little bit of fire. And good luck.

Are you a Steve?It's threads like this that make me realize that I could probably live my life pretty happily with just myself, my business, an innernet connection, multiple hobbies, etc.marriage and/or kids = badbeat

Maybe for you, but having kids and a wife you can trust is priceless.You're wrong. Just because some marriages end badly doesn't mean that all marriages are bad.marriage and/or kids = badbeat
