I'll continue by saying that you may want to settle-in as the story gets better...
After our discussion the next day, I really thought we were on the same page. My Chef had indicated he understood where I was coming from. Right. Thankfully, work took me out of town for over week. But we were communicating and enjoying the revived relationship.
When the time drew near for me to go to his home, I suggested that I come later in the evening and leave his home, prior to Miss Chicky Poo rising in the morning. (It's not as if she got up before 10a, anyway.)
As I arrived at his home, I noticed that her vehicle was not there. Odd since it as close to 10p. But, I was greeted at the door, and as usual, Chef helped me with my bags. I went straight upstairs to his bedroom. When he brought up my bags, I went to close the door to his bedroom. He stopped me by saying, no one is coming home tonight. He asked me to join him by the fire downstairs. Smile.
Oh, well I assumed she was either out for the evening or out of town. Nonetheless, we had a great evening. We watched a movie, talked about our jobs, his daughter's wedding and laughed our heads off - about a new nickname he had for me. I have to admit, it was a good one.
As you very well know, I was curious and went to check the spare bedroom, the very next morning. The bed was made... but there were no personal items there. Nor were there any toiletries in the guest bathroom. Hmmm.
I wasn't sure if she moved or went to visit her other child in another state. Either way, I wondered why he had not said anything to me. That evening, I brought up the topic. He said, that everything was going great with us and he did not want to talk about her. Well, fine with me.
The very next week was a busy time for us both...as he had his daughter's wedding and I was busy with work. But, he was great about calling and texting while he was away. But, we planned on getting together the day after the wedding. So, when he returned, I was surprised that he was bit distant.... irritated. But after discussing a few issues with work and family, I could see why he was a bit irritable.
The next morning, I was planning on helping him with a project in his yard. I can safely say he was an argumentative, knit-picky, and all-around jerk that day. I left him twice in the yard, because of it. He did come inside and tried to makeup for his behavior. But, when he tried to give me version of what a team meant (no "I" in team crap). I told what he could with that information.
Now, I can tell you it was odd that he wasn't sharing any pictures from the wedding. So, that night, he showed me a few, at my urging. While he was showing me the pictures online, I happened to see a few dating site advertisement emails pop up. But, I dismissed it.
I went to work the day after and he was being a real snot. But, it was our custom to talk every night. Since he had not called, I tried calling him. He did not answer. As a matter of fact, two hours later, he hadn't returned the call. Knowing his habits, it was unusual.
Having time to think...I started to lament over his odd behavior and the dating site advertisement. I remembered that "Q" was a member of that very same dating site. So, to appease my curiosity, I had to check this site out. As luck would have it, you don't have to sign up to search profiles.
Yep, you know it already.......I found it! My guy had and active profile on the dating site! Advertising.... to the world that he was "looking for a relationship". I couldn't believe my eyes!
To add insult to injury, his profile picture was one he had taken at the wedding, just two days prior.
