While I vacationed, friends watered my plants and watched my cat and … jewelry went missing
Women's hands choosing diamond ring from her jewelry box
DEAR ABBY: I recently went on vacation and had my cat sitter come by twice a day as she has for the past five years when I travel. For the first time, I also asked a fairly new acquaintance I had met in a reputable spiritual center, and with whom I clicked quickly, to come by to water my plants and garden. I gave each a key. Some precious and costly jewelry has gone missing. These were the only people in my home.
I don’t make friends easily, which makes it more painful since I figure my only option is to cut them both completely out of my life, no questions asked, because what could they say? So I will never know and lose two key people. I guess my question is, is there any other way I can get my mind around (or over) this betrayal than to cut them both from my life without a word?
