Every Saturday for two years he grabbed his board and disappeared for three hours… Turns out he's just sitting in the car park drinking coffee and scrolling on his phone. Should I tell him I knows, or catch him out? Q2: "My husband didn't cry during our wedding vows."

Q3: "I found out my boyfriend goes to a specific cafe, not for the coffee, but bec
