DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER visiting my widowed mum overnight as lockdown eased, I came home to find my wife with another man in our house.
Before we could talk about it, my wife packed a bag and left me. I’m gutted.
She is 32 and I’m 38. She was devastated when her job in a cafe stopped because of Covid and she wasn’t entitled to furlough.
I could understand that but her behaviour was odd, often going out for hours at a time. I’d ring her with no reply.
I was horrified to discover she was cheating on me, though.
When the other man left, I said: “You’ve been having an affair all along.”
She yelled, “No, it was just sex!” then she packed a case and fled to her sister’s.
I don’t want to throw away our marriage.

DEIDRE SAYS: Cheating is never right but the future depends on whether her fling was a short-term reaction to losing her job, trying to boost her self-esteem, or whether there are rifts in your marriage.
Tell your wife you two must talk to see if you can better understand one another.
