Any input on this situation is appreciated -

BACKGROUND
I am the BS
WH has lived away from home for several years, though we are not separated officially.

HERE'S THE DILEMA -

I am part of a sailing race crew that races each Wednesday evening. A few weeks ago, there was a storm that rolled in so we didn't sail. We sat around the tables on the patio and talked and one by one the crew left till it was me and a male crew member (our team is co-ed).

A man I knew from Church (who also knows WH but doesn't know about WH) sat down at the table next to us. I said hello & we talked for a few minutes. Shortly after that the male crew member & I got up to go & I felt a strange look from the man I knew from church. I thought " OMG, he probably thinks I am having an A!" (I am not) That was too ironic! I am not the one having the A & this guy thinks that I am!

Then last night in church I saw him (WH was there - first time in this church in a long, long time) and this man acted different! I felt terrible. I wanted to call him up and tell him that I am not having an A. Then I thought he may think I am just trying to cover it up.

My mind is all over the place on this one. Any thoughts? I don't know if I should say anything or not ???

Any help is greatly appreciated,

This was posted in GQ as well

You don't really know what that man from church was thinking....and I agree, that any attempt to tell him you're "not having an A" could make him think the opposite.

I'd just forget it. You are only guessing at what he thought, and it's not possible to control others' thoughts.
