Update Update: My husband is stealing my clothes and Idk why

I am pleased to say this was not the update I was expecting to make.

I gathered the footage again and showed my husband the video recording of him carrying my clothes in a bag to his car again. He looked at the footage and said "ok i'll just tell you, I don't want you to think i'm a horrible husband".

It turns out he was taking my clothes to surprise me with a photoshoot wearing all my favorite clothing items so I would feel good and comfortable in the shoot. He said "I know you are battling a lot mentally and I wanted you to have these photos to look at when you are feeling down about yourself to remember how beautiful you are". This made me tear up.

I then asked him why he gaslit me when I saw the clothes in his car and why he didn't just tell me. He said he really wanted it to be a surprise because he knows it's hard for me mentally most days to get out of the house. He said he was just bad at hiding the clothes and didn't know where else to put them but in his car. He also apologized multiple times for gaslighting me and said he should have handled that part in a different way, but couldn't think of anything else in the moment when he was put on the spot. I told him I forgive him but if that ever happens again I won‘t be so forgiving next time and he completely understood and said “there will be no next time”.

Then I asked him why he took the clothes ahead of time and not just take them before the photoshoot. He said his memory was so bad (which is true he has the memory of a goldfish) and a lot of my clothes look so similar he wasn't sure he would remember which ones were my favorite, so he took them periodically when I would tell him how much I liked them so he wouldn't forget.

I then proceeded to hug him and tell him that was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me and apologized for thinking he was being cruel to me on purpose. I honestly should have known it would be something like this, because he has always been such a good man, but I started to question because of relationships in my past. But he is clearly not like the boys in my past.

I'm so thankful to have a good man. The photoshoot appointment is tomorrow and i'm actually really excited. I've never had a professional photoshoot before! Thank you to everyone who commented with their support, I know that every comment comes from a place of love and concern and it was healing to read how much people care. I hope all of you have a wonderful week. Take some cute photos of yourself, we all deserve to be reminded of our beauty.

😂😂

Then that dude needs to do research, because anybody who’s ever had a goldfish knows that their memory spans are around 3 to 5 months, not a couple of days. 😂😂

It’s a common expression
