Jigsaw Puzzle

Image of puzzle pieces washed up on a beach.When someone said, I saw your husband eating out with another woman, he said she’s a colleague, and I believed him; when someone said, I saw your husband holding hands, he said it wasn’t him, and I believed him; when someone said, I saw your husband in a baby store, he said now you’re just being irrational, talking like a crazy woman, and I believed him; when my husband said, We’re in love and she’s pregnant, I didn’t believe him until they said, I told you so, and my fingers fit the last two pieces of the jigsaw into place.

    Love the title to this tale. And the truth when we don’t want to believe what the evidence is revealing. All in 100 words.
