AM TOPIC: Dear Christine, This is my second time writing to you and I have followed your advice in the past. I am sure you will again give me sound advice.My husband was always the “quiet type” – the last person in the world anyone would suspect capable of infidelity. Nevertheless, he was. I returned home unexpectedly from a business trip one day and caught him with his girlfriend right in our bed. Of course, I was distraught and could not get over what he did to our marriage. I decided I had to call it quits. After I filed for divorce, some of my neighbours told me that for the last year they had seen this young woman entering and leaving my home many times after I had left for work. I felt even more embarrassed after being told this. I wanted to scream, “Why didn’t you tell me? You could have spared me the hurt and humiliation.” I then came to the conclusion that my friends thought they were doing “the right thing” by keeping quiet. Christine, had I been told, perhaps my marriage could have been saved through counselling or just knowing would have caused me to file for divorce earlier and be spared the humiliation of walking in on such a scene. I know it’s now water under the bridge, but are we not supposed to be our brother’s keeper? My embarrassment comes from knowing that my neighbours were aware of my husband’s infidelity but while they were speaking to me on a daily basis, they were also probably laughing at me behind my back. – H.P. nationnews/articles/view/dear-christine-neighbours-hid-his-cheating-from-me/
