Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy!

So I joined a club for my latest fixation. Since I'd be interacting for a few hours up close with people who didn't know me before, it was a good opportunity to see how well I pass. Of course, no weird looks or suspicious questions, and other than some slightly awkward answers to inquiries about my husband everything goes smoothly. However, my paranoia went into overdrive and I was convinced that everyone had clocked me and was really just pretending to accept me as a woman as some kind of joke. WTF, brain.

I'm probably going to have to come clean about my wife at some point before I slip up, but I'm quite enjoying being stealth for once!
