What would be your first thought? - Part 2

Ok, so I told my story. And you gave me your answers.So let's lift the veil :) Please note that I am writing this story as "You" but it certainly does not have anything to do with you. It's just the way I'm writing. I am not implying anything:) So you went back to your apartment. You are curious about that almost closed door, but you don't want to ask about it. You start thinking and drawing your own conclusions. You become a bit different with you brother/sister in law. Maybe he/she is hiding things from you. THat hurts/bothers/ you or makes you curious/mad/distrustful. You comment to some other family members about this. There's something different between you and your brother/sister in law now. YOu're thinking so much about it you hardly notice your Anniversary is getting closer. YOur partner = as usual - arranges a huge party with all your friends and family - including your brother/sister in law. It's gift unwrapping time. Nice gifts too. Your partner comes in with this huge present and a big smile on his/her face: The grandfather clock/30 gallon thank/huge painting/ 848 piece china set/ new barbeque/etc.etc etc.- just remember it's big - that you wanted for quite some time. You love the gift. Later you hear your brother/sister in law talking to a friend about the day that you almost saw your gift. Apparently your partner had asked to hide it in there until the day of the party and your brother/sister in law had it out in the living room wondering how he/she would be able to wrap it when you rung the doorbell. He/she had no choice but to keep the door partially close hoping you wouldn't see it. Ok, so now that you know, and keeping in mind your previous response, would you still think the same way? Why? As I said I am really interested in people's reactions, thus this story. It didn't happen to me, but I was present when it happened. Because I wouldn't think anything special about it, I was interested in why it was making the person so curious and even suspicious. Her first comment to me when we left her sister in law's apartment was : "Wow, he's only gone for 3 days and she's already fooling around with someone else!" Now, I know why she thought that first.SHe has a bit of problem with self esteem and is often fearful that her own partner might cheat on her. She is also a bit curious by nature and when she doesn't know the whole story she always imagines something negative. This is her,though, it doesn't mean that people that had the same first reaction have the same reasons to do so. We are all different. Me... nothing came to mind but when she made her comment I remember saying that the house could be messy. I did say that we tend to see things according to our own experiences :) - and yes , I confess that sometimes my house is not as tidy as I would like it to be. SO now that you know.. would your first reaction be the same?
