Discreet Affair
When you?re having marital problems and you find a pre-paid cell phone hidden in your wife?s belongings, and the phone is full of sexy I love you text messages, Dad?s House readers tend to agree ? there?s a discreet affair going on, the marriage is over, pack your bags, freeze your financial assets, and run for the hills.
Except for one thing ? you recognize the phone number of the texting sender as an openly gay female friend.
Your wife?s having a discreet affair with a woman? The Dad?s House reader who emailed me about this situation said his first reaction was no. He knew it was probably just his male ego talking; no man wants to lose his wife to a woman. But when he thought about it more, he knew the sexy texting was hard evidence that things between him and his wife were worse than he thought. A discreet affair was highly probable.
Still, did it mean his wife was gay? Maybe she was bisexual, or experimenting, going through a phase. Would she eventually return her focus and energy to the marriage?
