Should I be suspicious or thankful?

My husband come home from work this evening and told me of how he received a gift basket from someone. When I asked where all the goodies went he said there weren't that many and that he gave them to coworkers. I was fine with this, I asked if he saved the basket at least, we could recycle and he said the goodies all came attached to one another with ribbon. I asked him if he got a card with the gifts and he said no. I asked him if he knew who it came from he said yes. It came from an ex employer from years ago in Mississippi, we currently live in TX. I am suspicious that a corporation sends gifts without basket or box. Should I be suspicious of this being a lie or should I be thankful that he told me about it at all? I am very happy in our marriage, I just find that the gift thing was a little weird. Thanks for all your responses.

Forget the situation for a moment. Let's look at you and your reaction to the situation. Your reaction is one of distrust. And the only reason you might not trust him would be... 1. There is something else that you haven't told us. 2. There is no reason for you to distrust. 3. Something weird is going on. I vote for number one, myself. I admit that the circumstances as you describe them are a little odd but that in and of itself means very little. If there is more to the story then you need to look into this a little. But if there's nothing more to the story then maybe you're making more out of this than it warrants. But no matter what, you need to look at your lack of trust and deal with it. Those who do not trust are often not to be trusted. If you've got a long history with this man and he has always been honest then I would go talk to a counselor about this -- on your own. Then again, it could be that you're feeling inadequate and you need something more to do. If the marriage is good and everyone is honest then it would be safe to assume that no reasonable man is going to mess that up. This isn't much of an answer, is it? Hope this is at least somewhat helpful.
