Found nudes in my husband’s briefcase

Dear Pastor,

I have been married for three years and I am presently pregnant. My husband and I get along very well, but I am concerned with what I have discovered.

Recently, my husband sent me into his briefcase to retrieve a file but I did not see it. So he told me to look carefully. As I searched for the file, I came across a big envelope and I looked into it and I was shocked at what I saw. I saw about 10 nude pictures of women.

I took the envelope out and did not say anything to my husband until the following day. What shocked me further was that two of these girls were my friends. How did my husband get these nude pictures of them? When I asked my husband how he came by these pictures, he blamed me for searching his briefcase. I removed the envelope. He said the pictures were not his and he was only holding them for one of the girls. Nothing he said to me made sense.

I called one of the girls who is my friend and she would not talk to me about the pictures. She kept saying I should ask my husband how he got them. I have not given these pictures back to my husband. He warned me that if I didn't give him these pictures, they may get me into trouble. I told my husband that he will get into trouble. Now I suspect that my husband might be cheating on me. How can I trust my husband? What was he going to do with these pictures? Why would girls I know very well send my husband nude photographs of themselves? I cannot figure it out. I don't want anybody to see these pictures but I am going to hold on to them until my husband tells me the truth.

If you were to meet my husband, you would be impressed by him. He is very intelligent. He has plans for these photographs. Do you think that he had plans to sell them? The girls I know are very quiet. My husband is always threatening me that I will get myself into trouble if I try to do anything with these pictures and that I should return them to him.

G.L.
