I think The Raptor has been cheating on me.
ANONYMOUS PHONE CALL TIPS WIFE'S WORLD UPSIDE-DOWN
By Abigail Van Buren Monday Nov 14, 8:12 PM ET
DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my sweetheart, "George," for 33 years. He's a great husband, a good provider, and we are very compatible. He's the kind of man who brings me flowers for no reason, and who would rather be home cooking dinner with me than almost anywhere. Recently a woman called to tell me that George was "screwing around" all over town, and she thought I should know I was married to a "pervert." She hung up before I could comment. Abby, George swears he is not having an affair and has always been faithful. He insists that she's just a crazy person. Of course, I have to believe the man I have known for 35 years over a complete stranger, but this has been devastating. It has made me question my choice to be an unquestioning wife and made me nervous in crowds thinking that someone is watching me -- or us -- when we're out together. George is trying hard to be there for me and says he'll go to marriage counseling with me or whatever I need. I know he loves me and our two dogs and many frogs. But I can't help feeling violated and depressed, and I'm resentful that this stranger has the power to make me question my own happiness. Please help me. -- THREATENED IN LA CRESCENTA
DEAR THREATENED: Take your husband up on his offer of counseling, because you HAVE been the victim of an assault -- an emotional assault. In a sense, you have been violated. A wise person once told me that depression is "anger turned inward." A therapist can help you direct your anger where it belongs -- at the anonymous caller. Please don't let the venom some stranger attempted to spread poison your marriage. You know rationally that your husband loves you and demonstrates it in every way he can. Whoever made that call may be angry at you or your husband for some perceived slight. She may be a kook. She could even be a high school student who was dialing randomly for kicks. It's not as unusual as you might think.

I can't believe you're all making light of this. It isn't funny. I've decided to kill Raptor, cut him up into little pieces, and send each of you one of these pieces.
