I caught them in the act
On 29th December my husband took the dog for a walk about 6pm. I told him I was going to have an early night because I was so tired. I heard him come back at about 7pm and after that I could hear his voice but not what was being said. I assumed he was talking to someone on the phone. By 8pm I still couldn't get to sleep so I got up and went into the living room. There was my new friend on the sofa with him and she was giving him a hand job. He said "I'm sorry", she stood up and literally ran out of my home, and I told him to pack his bags and get out. He began fumbling around in a drawer for his money and I went to our 23 year old son's room to tell him what had happened. He stayed the night at his brothers house but he and my son kept in touch by phone during the night. My husband admitted to my son that it had been going on for about two to three months. The following morning I allowed him to come home and said we could work it out as two or three months is better than two or three years. Also we are not far off our Silver Wedding Anniversary and I didn't want to waste all those happy years we had. Our son is autistic too and thinks the absolute world of his Dad. He took it quite badly when he heard and started to smash up his room. Anyway the episode has left me with a doctor's diagnosis of PTSD which I now have medication for. We are trying to overcome this but I still cry nearly every day and I keep asking questions about the why/when/where of the affair. He is being honest with me as far as I can tell, and he has cut all ties with his other woman. Am I doing the right thing in letting him come some? By the way we are both 60 and she is 42, young enough to be his daughter. Thank you for reading my story.
