Objection

Something is bothering me tonight.

I walked into the bedroom, and I heard a last-minute click on the computer.

I know that sound. It's the panic click!

It's always that sound of panic, and that thought of "Shit! Gotta go!" that I can almost hear the person breathe as I walk in that I am so familiar with. He's hiding something from me. I'm not stupid (contrary to popular belief, I'm not that gullible.). I've had people snoop around on my computer, or look at nasty porn on the computer and don't want me to know for fear of I-don't-know-what consequence, or talk to a lingering ex ... what-have-you. I've seen it all. And, mind you, none of these relationships worked out.

What's worse this time? He turned around and smiled innocently at me. He was consciously dishonest.

I could almost hear the sirens go off in my mind. I immediately started sweating. I actually trusted him 100%, even after the controversy over check-ups (or lack thereof), I thought. And -- look! -- I even moved in!

What, does trust and respect not mean anything anymore nowadays? Or has it ever, considering past experiences?

Every once in a while, I just feel benefit of the doubt I offer, coupled with my forgiving personality, gets taken for granted. I can't help but to feel that once I see one (well, more like 3 in my case), I see all.

Here's a rule of thumb:
What you do is your choice. What I do is mine -- I'll just try not to affect you as much as possible as I do whatever that I do.

But when you have to intuitively hide something you were doing, chances are you shouldn't have been doing it to begin with.

Of course, if it was a surprise that I accidentally walked into, then by all means call me out. I'm wrong. But then again, I'm pretty sharp about certain things. Less about intuition, but more about experience.
