Chapter 22 - My Own Blindness
People assumed I blamed myself for trusting my wife.
Not exactly.
Trust is necessary.
But delegation without verification had spread everywhere in my life.
Nora managed:
Household vendors.
Collection appointments.
Private calendar details.
Insurance coordination.
Home staff.
I treated that as partnership.
Often it was.
Then I stopped understanding systems I still technically controlled.
That was my part.
Not the contamination.
Not theft.
Those belonged to her.
My lesson was narrower.
Authority you delegate remains your responsibility to understand.
Afterward, I hired an independent collection registrar.
No family member.
Dual authorization for movement of major works.
Direct confirmation from insurer.
Condition photographs stored independently.
Transport alerts delivered to more than one person.

Boring controls.
Beautiful things deserve boring controls.
