Question of the Week
" For the longest time now my lingerie, and street clothes have been disappearing, and reappearing. However when they return, they are not in the same condition. They have an extreme amount of makeup on them, mostly around the neckline. They are stretched, and or sometimes even torn. There is a perfume also that is not mine. I never wear them again, I throw them as soon as I come across them. My husband's clothes work, or other wise I have noticed have makeup, and perfume also. I confronted him about having an affair. He denies it. When I tell him something is going on he will reply, it's not what you think, or so what it's not hurting anyone. Yet he denies knowing anything about my clothing. I have come close to leavening over this. He tries to make me believe that I have misplaced my thing's, or have forgotten where I put them. I am starting to think that his affair is not with another woman, but with a man. What woman would wear another woman's underwear. It has gotten worst over this past year. I don't know what to do. Can you tell me if this is common of a transsexual. If so, why would he take my thing's, instead of going out, and buying his own. Is there anyway to tell if he is a transsexual. Also what is a transsexual. Will he ever tell me the truth. What should I look for to confirm it. "
