I have realised that if my wife feels that I'm controlling her that is love busting which I should avoid at all cost. But it's really hard to pretend to be an idiot when you are almost 100% sure of what's happening behind your back.<P>Wife is having EA (or possible PA) with her boss. She has moved in with her parents since 3-4 weeks. I guess it's because she wants to get away from my control and to show her boss that she's serious about this.<P>Lately I have started to get calls where calling number is not shown (I have one of those phones where the number calling in is shown in a display. But you can ask the telephone company to stop showing your number or I think you can even set your phone to avoid sending your number). Yesterday the display said "unknown" and as I lifted the handset the person at the other end hung up. I have a feeling that it's my wife or OM checking that I'm not around to see them meet. It drives me insane, but I guess I have to continue to "act as if" I'm an idiot or else I'm making things worse.<P>BTW: I'm not sure cathing my W is a good idea since she has already moved out (in a temporary way with just having packed some bags), but I feel that it won't be longbefore she asks for a separation.<P>scandinavian

You can have the phone company program your phone to not accept calls from "unknown". My phone company offers it for free. That would force the person trying to call you to take the "name block" of their phone in order to get through to see if you're home.

If the call is from "unknown" it may not be a number which has caller id. If I call my house from work (which goes through a central switch), it displays "unknown". My work is not programmed to send caller id data.<P>Personally I just let the answering machine pick up almost all calls.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

"Unknown" is different from "unavailable". Unknown means the caller has blocked their name. Unavailable means like what your work phone is - not programmed with a name.
