I have been with my girlfriend for six years now, through the good times and the bad, and right now we're going through our awkward 20s on hard-mode (in other words, nursing a heroin addiction).
I have always trusted her, and she has always trusted me; I have never before had a reason not to believe her, but ever since moving in with her and her family (not really what I wanted, but you know how things go...) I get the feeling that she has lied to me on two occasions.
First, she came up with $25 that, according to her, she found inside her father's old truck. Well, inside her father's old truck and inside the clothes dryer ($20 and $5, "respectively") What a lucky find, right? And money that ends up in places like that no one seems to ever miss. Her father really does lose money quite often, as he makes so much of it and he's one of those real blue-collar types who insists on only paying in cash and keeps a wad of it in his pocket and in his wallet and everywhere else.
Well, when we came home that day from picking up some dope, my girlfriend's grandmother tells us that there's a thief living in our house and it has got to be one of us, as she's missing $25. How incredible is that, right? The woman is missing the exact same amount of money that my girlfriend just so happened to find! My girlfriend would not admit to it, though.
Now, what could be more incredible than that? It happening a second time, right? Well, it did! My girlfriend tells me a few days later that she found $20 in the bathroom by the toilet. It must have fallen out of her father's pocket, she tells me. Now, at this point, I'm pretty suspicious and I tell her that if her grandmother says anything about missing $20, then I'll know she's lying to me. Her response is, "Well, my grandmother could have dropped it as well and then she might think we stole it, but I think my father dropped it, and he won't notice."
We come home, and guess who's missing $20? You guessed it!
So now am I to believe that my girlfriend is just the luckiest person in the world, living with the clumsiest people in the world, and she's being accused of stealing when really she's just finding and not returning... or am I to believe that she's stealing this money outright and lying to me about it?
I do know that her father drops money everywhere, so finding money in her father's old truck is not all that implausible, but what are the odds that she would find $20 one place, $5 another place, and then we come home and - tada- her grandmother is missing that same amount of money? And what are the odds that it would happen a second time with $20 ... ? She's lying to me, right?
