Last Wednesday my husband sent me a picture of his current situation: in bed in his hotel watching TV. Upon closer inspection I noticed what appeared to be a purse on the desk. When I asked him what it was, he turned on the light and took another picture. The new picture was clearly his backpack, but it didn't resemble the first and I accused him of staging the second picture. Also, in the second picture there appears to be what looks like a woman's dress hanging on the back of a chair. He claims its his shorts folded on the hanger and a shirt over the chair.
I wasn't sure about the dress/shorts but I felt very sure the purse was a purse, or a least not a backpack.
But he was adamant.
So last week I posted my conundrum on reddit and several people weighed in and they all agreed it was in fact a purse. The dress wasn't quite as definitive.
So at this point I was sure he was cheating. I was an emotional wreck and our marriage was starting to fall apart.
He was so adamant that it's his backpack reflecting off the chrome chair, TV, camera flash, and the reflectors on the actual backpack causing it to look like a purse. So to prove this he offered last Friday to take a polygraph. He's never offered to do this before and neither one of us have ever taken one.
I told him to do it and that if he passed I'd accept the results but if he failed I'd know he was cheating and a divorce wasn't off the table, although I told him if he just told me the truth and came clean we could find a way to work thru it.
He took the polygraph yesterday and the results are in. He passed.
I'm trying to accept the results but I keep looking at the purse picture and I just can't see a backpack.
Which brings me here. This is my first ever post on Jow Forums, but I'm desperate.
So my question: is there any possibility at all that the purse in question is a backpack or did he beat the polygraph?
