How can I convince my wife that I'm not having an affair with our neighbor?

How can I convince my wife that I'm not having an affair with our neighbor?

Long story, but I'll try to keep it short. Last week, my neighbor Mike told me he was going to be out of town for a few days. The forecast called for snow over the weekend. He asked me if I could possibly plow out his driveway for him while he was away. His wife Lisa ( whom I have known since I was 12) works a weird night schedule, so he would just leave the keys in the truck and have it ready to go.

Well, we got about 9"inches of snow last weekend. I cleared my driveway, and then went over to clear theirs. My wife also works weird schedules and had no idea I had done this.
After clearing the driveway, and shoveling off the steps and walkways, I left a note telling her I had done this and to make sure she took the keys back into the house.

She called to thank me a couple days later. She left a message on our machine that said " Thanks for plowing me the other night...you do much better than my husband...blah, blah, ...he usually makes me finish myself and clean up all the mess..blah blah...,,"

Well my wife heard this and assumed she was not referring to snow removal. She accused me of cheating on her with Lisa. She also brought up my High School yearbook where Lisa wrote the typical good bye / good luck thing but added " if you would have asked me again, I would have said yes!"

So, with these two pieces of " evidence " , she is now accusing me of having an affair. How can I make her believe me? I would rather not bring this to the attention of the neighbors.

Thank for all the good advice..

I would start by telling her that Mike asked you to plow his wife while he was away. That he left you the keys and everything. That if you didn't have 9 inches, you never would have needed to. I would also bring up that Lisa now thinks that your wife is a lucky woman. That she has a husband that will clean up after he plows her.

But in the end you have to tell your wife that you were just being a good neighbor, and that you really just want to plow her. That plowing two places is exhausting and that you'd rather stay home and take care of your own place. If you do something romantic to follow it up, she should forget all about the snow.

Okay here's what you do you say no Im not cheating on you with the neighbor Im cheating on you with so in so. And make it the person that she would absolutly think wasn't your type. Like an old biddy or a drag queen i dunno some one your wife just knows you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. That will really have her going and she will wonder how the hell you are doing her and then just totally forget the moment.
She may even feel sorry or pitty for you and clean the house and make you a great dinner just out of the blue. Good luck

If it were me Ted, then I would just go right ahead and shag your neighbour then you wouldn't have to try and convince the wife that you weren't having an affair with her.

LOL thats just bad luck.
if she doesnt trust you then theres not too much you can do to take it back, she needs to trust you before she believes you didnt cheat on her

Tell her you hate the neighbour. Tell her that she's shaved her nether hairs into a smiley face and it creeped you out.

Oh wait-.....

Considering the picture you use for your profile, I am not sure how you can convince any of us you are not having an affair with your neighbor. Words are one thing, but actions speak louder than words. Give her a break. She is your wife. Help her trust you. Devote some time to her instead of wanting foolish attention from strangers, like you are trying to get with that ab picture of yourself.

i'm thinking its a joke but women......ugg....either talk to the neighbors and have them tell her that she isn't sleeping with you or whatever. and you are clear or try to convince her some other way


Peter N
While she's distracted with your neighbor is a perfect time for you to bang someone else while her attention is diverted.

Ted, do you know nothing about women? You cannot convince her. No way. Your wife has taken two things and put them together and added them up and they turned out "cheat" in her eyes. No matter how irrational that you think this is, it is perfectly rational in your wife's eyes.

You need to talk to Mike when he gets back and tell him what happened. Do NOT go talk to Lisa yourself.

If Mike is any kind of good guy, he will talk to your wife.

Dan

PS DO NOT TALK TO LISA.

Its silly, you are both talking about "snow removal," right? Tell her that your friend asked you a favor, and God has said, "Love thy neighbor," and you are following his words. I'd be angry with her, tell her that you don't get this kind of icy reception, from your friend's wife!

wow.........

Well you might have to bring her husband in to confirm this.

Honestly I would sit her down and ask her what this is really about. Do the old "Honey we have been married __blah years and I love you just as much now as I did when we said I do. Do you really think I would give that up to have an affair with my neighbors (or best friends) wife?"

You should also tell her something along the lines that if you did in fact have an affair with her she wouldn't have been stupid enough to leave a message on the home answering machine. I think you would be a little smarter then that, she should give you some credit.

Hope that helps

Just have the guy call and leave another message thanking you for taking care of the plowing and blowing... it really won't help, but your wife will think that she is way out of the loop!

lol lol lol!!!! My sides hurt!!! ha ha!! =)

I would think a smart thing to do would be to save the message, then have your neighbors come over together. This would be the smartest way to remove any doubts from either your wife or the male neighbors mind, should he be made aware.


OMG IDK why I married him
Rating
Wow.....sounds like your neighbor crossed the line and thinks what she said was cute. She is disrespectful and your wife should tell her she doesn't appreciate the inuendo. Or maybe even better you shouldn't plow your neighbor anymore. I'm sure her husband wouldn't like knowing you do it better than he does. Next time maybe better to take care of the 9" at your own house.


♥Sonadora♥
lol, I think I would have done the same thing....ha ha ha ha.

Look just dont give up on telling her nothing happened..if you do, this will give her more proof that you did. Oh, one more thing, get your old stuff out of your house!!! Things like this ALWAYS get you in trouble.


Christopher K
Don't bother; the seeds of mistrust seem already sown. It's not worth the fight. I'd just leave.


Jackie E
Sounds complicated!
Well what if "lisa" really does like you? now that would be a different story!!!

But its hard to prove someone that you are not cheating, I think that the only solution is to involve you're neighbors! Just task your neighbor if he can explain to your wife what he asked you to do. you don't have to give any explanation to him, just tell him its a long story! good luck!

Sleep with who you want, but be discreet. Easy rule. Just remember: Who she sleeps with is her business and not yours, too.


yoadriannejohnson
just tell her that your not having and affair with the neighbor. let het know how important she is to you and that you would risk it.the stuff from high school tell her to let it go it was like a long time ago.

Remind your wife that you cleared her driveway too, allowing her to keep her date with her boyfriend.


Teresa G
Difficult situation mate, just make your wife understand that you were doing a favor to Mike and that was him who left you the key to clean the driveway for lisa while your neighbor was away.


lions
if the ***** really said that she's just trying to cause trouble.
but i know you made this crap up.
