I cringe as I remember that on a new colleague's first week she was sent a bunch of flowers by her husband. And we all made such a fuss about how sweet it was. And we didn't find out until later that the flowers were because she caught him cheating on her.
Oooh, do I have a story for you. When I was working at the local council botanic gardens some years back, we had a workmate whose husband sent her a bunch of flowers at work. Without a word, she took them down to the equipment shed, fed them through the mulcher, poured mower fuel on the ground-up remains, and set fire to them. We found out later the flowers were because he had confessed to cheating on her
