THE BOYS' BRIGADE

Have you ever heard the expression ‘seven year itch'? Well in my case, my husband got a nasty itch during our wedding reception, although I was none the wiser at the time: I was sipping expensive champagne and telling everyone who would listen how happy I was while he was playing hide and seek in the bridal suite with his best man's girlfriend. Sadly it took me another six years before I found out what he was really like.

n the beginning, I loved my husband very much. He wasn't always nice to me, but I ignored his constant jibes that I was putting on weight and just because I was pregnant, it didn't mean I needed to eat for two. I thought things would be different when little Rory arrived, but if anything they got worse, and by the time I fell pregnant with Sam, the only time he spoke to me was when he needed his suits laundering.
The Beginning Of The End
I began to suspect something was amiss when he started coming home later and later. First he told me things were "difficult" at the office and working overtime was the only way he could be certain his job was safe. Then he starting putting more effort into his appearance and joined a gym. With two small children to look after, I wasn't looking my best - I admit that - but I really didn't think things were too serious until I saw a photo of his new blonde, buxom PA and discovered that she had spent the weekend with him at a conference in Paris.
The Showdown!
The final nail was hammered into the coffin of my marriage when I received a text message purporting to be from a "concerned friend". This kind person informed me that my husband was playing away with his PA and that the affair had being going on for months. So I confronted him. He tried to deny it at first, but eventually he admitted to everything and moved out of the marital home and straight into a cosy love nest.
