All these horrible things have rung true AND (sorry) made me laugh too.We are not alone...

H bought a 200Euro necklace for QW as a Christmas present; I got a paperback book. Seeing the jewellery on our accounts (while innocently checking we weren't in the red), I confronted him with this; he said "she's just a good friend and she's been very depressed, she was there for me when I needed he". AND I ACTUALLY SWALLOWED THAT. Hello-oh!

H brought OW to our home to eat, to train with him (sportspeople), to do our daughter's hair on her communion day (although I wanted to do it myself), WHILE the affair was going on.

H used children (ours and hers) as an excuse to meet up and be together on several occasions while foolah was at work;

When he finally told me about the affair (after a romantic weekend when we'd been very happy), he said he'd been acting a part for years, it was my fault, he'd been obliged to look elsewhere for love because I was amways at work, never at home and also because I never went anywhere and was smothering him. I'm still trying to get my head around that one, but I was never good at trigonometry.
