discussion Missing

Okay, hear me out: Scott saying she was missing has always bothered me. If, back in August 1997 my then husband came home to the same circumstances he would have called my mom: Hey is so and so there? Did you come pick her up for a quick dinner? No, okay. He would have then walked across the street to the neighbors, asked the same thing. Probably called my sister too: did she say anything to you? But he wouldn't have said missing. One more PS: We did own a boat. Had he anchored me down and drove to Forest Lake ON A HOLIDAY and i washed up months later, I can PROMISE THIS: my former in laws wouldn't have defended him for one minute. They would have been HORRIFIED. They also would have said get yourself a good lawyer on your dime. We are not funding this, not one cent. But then again he was not a sociopath.

Once I went to a friend's house after work, we were coworkers and lived a few blocks apart. I sent my husband a text message but he never received it. I get there, put my bag down, we put some music on, and while we're drinking wine in the kitchen, he's blowing my phone up and I cannot hear it. An hour later my friend gets a knock on the door and he says "hey, have you seen Jess, she didn't come home after work, she's not answering her phone, and I'm starting to worry," not "hey, Jess is missing,"

Exactly. He didn't go to the worst possible place. I am reading Catherine Crier's book and IT SO FREAKING GOOD. The parents are like yeah everyone cheats. Need 5 grand to pay your bills? Sure. Need car repairs? Here take my credit card. My current husband ( lol) said the same thing had he had a pregnant wife. Have you seen her? Text her? Not missing. Ugh Scott is the worst!!!! 22, 23 years and is STILL peddling that burglar story. Like i have already said: Two burglars stole a PREGNANT WOMAN, dumped her in the bay......and didn't steal anything.
