Okay, okay!
Dear Kathy,
What a terrible dilemma to have found yourself in. I can sympathise. However, I would urge you not to follow your husband as he leaves work, especially while wearing the long beige mac and dark sunglasses you wore in 1984, as you described. This will only make you stand out, and he will spot you.
My advice would be to sit him down and explain what your emotions are, that you have doubts and are convinced you're unloved. Tell him why you think this, but be sure not to make it appear his fault. This may cause him to be defensive and make matters worse than they are.
I have no idea why he would have the smell of perfume on his shirt. Perhaps a work colleague brushed against him, or she got a little hot in the office and fainted, and your husband was there to catch her and the scent transferred on to him. Ask him if he has a new aftershave. (Maybe it's the deodorant you bought him last week? You said yourself you had yet to pinch any as yours hasn't run out.)
I also have no idea why he would be itching his crotch as frequently as you say. He may have an aversion to your washing powder. Try using a non-bio variety and note if the scratching stops. Buy him some new underwear; pants are out of fashion anyway. A few pairs of figure hugging boxer shorts might perk him up, in more ways than one.
I do hope the note you found turns out to be a prank, and the text message describing how Mark made her fanny tingle was sent to a wrong number. After all, Mark is a very common name, and mistake texts happen quite often.
I hope I have been of some help.
