My husbands cheating on me... with me.

On the Metra, I usually sit with my husband and my friend in the section where you face each other. I sit next to my friend and across from my husband. I guess the casual watcher wouldn't know for sure which woman my husband was with. Well, for about 9 months (it felt longer) I was pregnant with my youngest son Eli. After giving birth and going on maternity leave for 3 months, I came back to work and therefore started riding the train again. One morning, it was just my husband I on on the train. My husband gets off at a stop before me, so he gave me a kiss and got off the train. A lady behind me then leans forward and says, "You know he's married right?" I smile and say, "I was at the wedding." Thinking she will catch on. She says, loudly, "You know and you're still with him?" I then turn around and point at my wedding ring. She then shouts,"Oh! So since you're married too, that makes it ok!?!" At this point, the entire train is quiet and listening to our confrontation. I am pissed off, stand up in my seat, completely turn around so that I'm inches from her face and yell, "HE'S MARRIED TO ME DUMB ASS!!" The entire train explodes in laughter. I am instantly embarrased and turn around and start e-mailing my family and friends on my treo. As I'm doing, this the train gets quiet again. Then all of a sudden, the man on the other side of the aisle, who happens to be facing us, explodes in a semi-stifled laughter. The entire train then errupts again. I just want to dissapear.

I'm not sure if this whole time she thought my husband was with my friend, or maybe she knew he was married to the pregnant me, but didn't recognize the unpregnant. Who knows. All I know is that my husband is cheating on me... with me.
