An illustrative picture of the ligther that caused the drama

(27m)(25f)My girlfriend came home from work and found a lighter in the bathroom that isn't hers or mine. And thinks I had someone over

Putting all jokes aside, I really do think the boyfriend is innocent. The lighter could have fallen out while he was trimming his beard earlier, and it’s the type of object you have in a drawer for ages and don't remember its color. The girlfriend's exaggerated reaction and her inability to consider other explanations make me question some things, though. On the one hand, I’m left wondering whether the lighter issue is working as a catalyst for deeper insecurities she had about her boyfriend, or if it is something way more twisted. Hear me out here, I’ve heard, more than once, over the years, in many different couples, that most of the time, the one throwing a fit of jealousy is precisely the one who has a dirty conscience. I KNOW, I know it’s twisted! But I swear it’s extremely common, and sometimes it acts as an unconscious way to release the guilt the guilty partner feels (forgive the redundancy).

The other possible explanations are: Ghosts, aliens, intruders like the ones in horror films that live in your attic for years without you noticing them and only come out at night, that the boyfriend writing this story is actually lying and it’s just fishing for more clever excuses as to why that lighter appeared there, or the most probable cause: that the lighter is theirs and they don’t remember it.
It would be incredibly ridiculous that a couple ended because of something like this, one party believing he got cheated on, contrary to all evidence. Anyways I’m led to believe many partnerships have ended because of ridiculous things like this. In the end, we can only do our best and hope everything turns out all right… Right?
