Last night, while cleaning the cluttered entryway table that hasn’t been truly clean for months, I found this body jewelry that‘s not mine sitting on it. It’s much thicker than a regular earring and my only piercings are basic ear piercings. The ball threads onto the bar.
For a moment my mind went to my fiancé having someone over that I don’t know about, but he’s never given me a reason to be suspicious like that. So I figured I’ll just get to the bottom of this quickly to reassure myself and get this back to its rightful owner.
I immediately texted a friend who’d spent the night recently who has several piercings; nope, not hers. My fiancé heard my phone vibrate and asked who I was texting and about what, and I said I’d found this body jewelry and was trying to reach out to see who’d left it. He acted uninterested/unconcerned and when I tried to show him the piece of jewelry and how it unscrews, he said “you don’t have to show me, I believe you” and walked away to another room to get back to what he’d been doing.
I then texted several friends and family members that have been over in the last three months or so (we don’t have people over much) and all 11 of them said they don’t recognize it.
I don’t think we tracked it inside on shoes because it was sitting on the table, not on the floor. Now I am having trouble coming up with other theories about how else it could have gotten there aside from nefarious behaviors. Again, never ever had a reason to suspect my fiancé of cheating, but we do have a rocky relationship and things happen.
Am I overreacting by texting all those people and then coming to this uncertain conclusion? I really just wanted to confirm that it belonged to one of our known guests. I didn’t once express my suspicions to any of the people I texted. Just said I found it, sent a pic, and wanted to try to reunite it with its owner.
