Io,

Welcome, thanks for your comments. I get your point that we’ll never be sure, but I’ve already accounted for the possibility there is nothing going on. But I think it an unlikely story compared to the alternatives.

“I’m stunned at the amount of information you’ve imagined about this woman that you talked for what…five minutes?”

I’m actually “imagining” very little. In little more than five minutes she subjected me to a deep factual and emotional disgorgement complete with kinesthetic counterpoint. That’s just not normal behavior for a happily married couple to have one of them begging for tobacco, unloading her anxieties onto another man and touching him. Given the demographic profile and background of the couple, it’s certainly not out of bounds to wonder if they’re having problems.

One of the interesting things about studying social dynamics is seeing that most situations map very well onto a finite number of stereotyped cases. This is especially the case in relationship troubles.
