Every few days, I\u2019d reach into my pocket after work and find napkins with lipstick stains on them. Bright red, sometimes pink. At first, I thought maybe it was from work \u2014 maybe a coworker accidentally dropped one into my jacket pocket. But it kept happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then one night, my wife found one. She froze. Her face went pale before she exploded \u2014 \u201cWhose lipstick is this?!\u201d she shouted. I swore I had no idea. I searched my memory, desperate for an explanation. But there was none. She didn\u2019t believe me, and for days, we barely spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weeks later, it happened again. Another napkin. Another fight. I started questioning my own sanity. Was someone pranking me? Was my wife planting them to test me? The tension grew unbearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then one afternoon, while my wife was out, I decided to finally clean her vanity drawer \u2014 something I had never done before. As I opened it, my heart sank. There, lined up neatly, were over forty tubes of lipstick \u2014 all in different shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when it hit me. She must have been using napkins to test new lipsticks before putting them away\u2026 and without realizing, she was tossing those same napkins into the laundry basket I emptied every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she came home, I told her what I\u2019d found. For a moment, she just stared at me \u2014 then burst out laughing so hard she cried. We both did. The mystery was solved, and so was the fight that nearly broke us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s not betrayal \u2014 it\u2019s just lipstick and bad timing. \ud83d\udc8b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After getting married, strange things started happening.
