Guest Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 My wife has this strange thing she does, she always hides her purse from me, or at all costs, makes sure she has it right next to her. We have had some mild cheating in our relationship on er part, but no sex, just emotional. I am thinking the purse ting is funny though......why would you hide something if you don't have something to hide. I have asked her about it, but she doesnt think shes doing it. This morning she actually pulled the purse out from under dirty laundry. I laughed when she left, but I think it's because I just don't understand. Our marriage is kind of rocky right now. We love each other, but just aren't jiving right now. Any thoughts?? Thanks, Link to post Share on other sites
tikigods Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I would think that someone is hiding someone if they are going to that great of lenghts to make sure you don't look in that purse Link to post Share on other sites
a4a Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Very odd indeed...... Unless you have had some problem with you snooping through her purse in the past she must be hiding something in it and wants you not to see it. Or she is playing a game with you trying to get you riled up over it? Or she has a purse hiding disorder? She is not part ferret or squirrel is she? :p Link to post Share on other sites
grateful Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Or she has her cellphone in her purse with a call history or text message she doesn't want you to see. Link to post Share on other sites
a4a Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 She could have the secret address of the where abouts of Ken Lay (who has indeed faked his own death) inside of her purse??? OP you really need to post more if you want this mystery solved by the Loveshack Private Detective Squad...... I think we have a psychic or two here as well that might be able to shed some light on this situation Link to post Share on other sites
Tim'sAngel Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I for one can't stand for anyone to dig in my purse. It's like digging through my soul!! Ok not realy, but it has always bugged the heck out of me!! Hiding it does seem quite extreme. I don't feel the need to hide something unless I have something I don't want anyone to see. It is something to think about. If SO was hiding his wallet or celly from me, I'd be suspicious. Link to post Share on other sites
grateful Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 She could have the secret address of the where abouts of Ken Lay who has indeed faked his own death inside of her purse??? or a shrunken Ken Lay actually lives in the purse itself..... Ken Lay, cell phone?.... Ken Lay, cell phone?... Ken Lay, cell phone? this one's a toughie..... DOODY! I can't figure it out! Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hmmm. Have you ever taken money out of said purse? I had a roommate (briefly) who stole money from me and I got into the habit of being disturbingly aware of my purse's contents and whereabouts. Has she always been freakishly aware of her purse? I am. I will wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and find my purse. It comes from having people steal from you behind your back IME. You get paranoid after a while.

grateful Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 In all seriousness, I got weird about my cell phone when I was cheating. My behavior totally changed because I didn't want SO to see a text message indicator from OM. I mean I deleted everything, but you never know what might come in. Link to post Share on other sites
JadeStar Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I agree with the others, something is really odd about that. I'm assuming this is something she just recently started doing? She hasn't always done this right? No telling whats in there. Cell phone, love letters, etc. Does she sleep with it as well? Is it under her pillow? How about when shes in the shower? I would have to say I would be really interested in finding out whats in there myself as well. Or maybe she has developed some kind of purse OCD disorder? JMO. Jade Link to post Share on other sites

Detective Otter perhaps you have stumbled upon a clue???? but on the flip side of this mysterious situation and your statements the old saying....... "It takes a thief to know a thief" comes to my mind... perhaps the wife is a purse snatcher, she is hiding the snatched purses from the H? Have there been any extravagant purchases by her that would lead you to believe she is obtaining more money from an unknown source? Jinkies Fred I think we found a clue!!!????

2sunny Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 My friend's daughter confided to me that she never left her purse around because she was hooked on prescription pills and she didn't want her Mom to find them... she even took it in the bathroom with her??????? Her Mom always searched her room and found nothing - but could never get ahold of her purse... I say check it in the middle of the night while she's sleeping.... cuz SOMETHING is up!

JackJack Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Have you flat out asked her why she hangs on to it like that? Sure she might give you some kind of BS story but it would still be interesting to see what her answer is. I can't see why you can't get ahold of it. Either when shes sleeping or in the shower (unless she showers with it, then thats a whole nother issue.) Does she ever go outside and walk around in the yard, to get fresh air or do yard work? If so is it on her arm then? You gotta find out whats going on. Link to post Share on other sites
Pink Amulet Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 My mother hides her purse in case someone breaks in when she is cooking dinner, or having a shower *rolls eyes* Maybe that's it? Link to post Share on other sites
SoleMate Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 If she's always hidden her purse, ever since you've met her, then it's probably a harmless eccentricity. If she just started doing it recently - especially if you have been having marital problems - then 99.5% likely she is hiding something that would really hurt/shock/anger you if you found out about it.

typical Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I actually do this. When I am inside my house, I have hidden my purse in the dirty laundry, in cabinets, under the bed, hanging on a hanger in the closet behind other clothes. I take it with me in the bathroom, when I step outside for a moment, basically that purse does not leave my side for a second. The reason for this is that my BF has rifiled through my purse and took money and checks out of it stating that "i dont need to carry this much money on me" because "someone might rob me blind on the streets".....Need I say that $20.00 is considered "alot of money" to him....also, he has checked receipts that are in my purse to see what I have bought, how much I have spent, and then proceeds to chew me out because of it. I say check it in the middle of the night while she's sleeping-2sunny BF has done this as well. In addition to the obvious, I also have poems I have written on scraps of paper, pieces of napkins, and I would rather not have my poems read by anyone because then I would feel like I was betraying myself. To alleviate the constant tension over whats inside my purse now, I have taken to keeping a "dummy" purse lying about (obviously the exact replica of my purse) in which I have put in various cosmetics I dont use, a hairbrush, creams, bits of women things, a handful of change, couple of sticks of gum, harmless receipts all totalling less than $7 and consisting of necessities such as toilet paper, food for us and the like, and about 4 dollar bills thrown in for extra measure. Needless to say, BF is oblivious and once again, for the time being anyhow, peace has been restored. Link to post Share on other sites

Mz. Pixie Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 In all seriousness, I got weird about my cell phone when I was cheating. My behavior totally changed because I didn't want SO to see a text message indicator from OM. I mean I deleted everything, but you never know what might come in. Bingo- I did too! I also would turn my phone off so that it wouldn't perhaps beep or ring when I didn't want it to. I started putting my purse in the bedroom and under my control at all times!

JadeStar Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hopefully the OP will come back and let us in on what the deal is with the purse situation. I'm really curious. Jade Link to post Share on other sites
jobo777 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I did ask her last nght finally and she said that she has always done that. Maybe I didn't notice, or maybe she is just saying that. In all reality, our problems are bigger than her hiding a purse. I should look at the real picture instead of the smaller issues. Thank you to all who have responded!
