I came home one evening to find our babysitter, Jenna, emerging from the bathroom with wet hair, apologizing for a milk spill. She explained she had showered while the kids napped, but something felt off. My husband, Mark, unexpectedly appeared, claiming he came back early from work. I felt uneasy but let it go. The next day, I checked the nanny cam and saw Mark returning home after I left, chatting with Jenna. When I confronted him, he confessed he’d lost his job and lied to avoid stressing me out. We had an honest talk, repairing our trust and communication.
