Now H is paranoid . . .
Over the summer H went to take care of his grandparents and scanned a bazillion pictures and newspaper clippings and saved them to a flash drive. He also had gotten info from his grandparents in which he also scanned along with the pictures. Both of his grandparents passed away now - one in late August, the other in early September.
This past weekend he stayed at his mom & dad's which was fine with me. He was suppose to pack his crap up to move into his apt closer to his job. Saturday went by and he didn't come back to pack anything - so Sunday I texted him to ask him if he was coming back to pack let me know what time and I'll leave so I'm not there when he is.
He came back and while I was gone he called me asking if I took the flash drive with the pictures from the spot he put it in. I said no - it should still be there. When I got back home I looked for it and sure enough it was still there. Not only is he paranoid - he must be blind too. So I texted him back and told him it was still there. Tuesday I get a text from him asking me if I could please give the flash drive to our neighbors across the street, who are senior citizens and wouldn't have the slightest clue what a flash drive is or what to do with it. I thought that was really weird so I called him and asked him why he wanted me to do that. Here - he was afraid I would destroy it - so he wanted me to give it to the neighbors so it would be safe. Hello - dumba$$ - You've been married to me for how long? Um - you know I'm not a vindictive person - I would have no reason to destroy that. Besides that - if I was the vindictive type - why would you want to call attention to flashdrive and risk me having it in my hands at all. If I were him I'd want to keep it totally out of my hands. *Sigh* - one more week and I'm out of there.
Re: Now H is paranoid . . .
How is your job search going?
If it were me, I wouldn't have even thought about doing anything to it until he told me that he didn't trust me with it. Then I'd be eying the hammer (but still, no).
Also he does get that a flash drive is pretty stable, it is not meant to be permanent? That flash drive could fail tomorrow on its own and his crazy little head wouldn't have anyone to blame (the horrors!). Putting this out into the universe: never keep important information in only one place.
I was thinking the same thing.
Honestly if I had information like that I would at least back up the information somewhere just in case something happened.
