Now I have found out that her house has been in perfect condition. She and my
husband have been carrying on at her house. I wondered why she always sent her
children over to play with my children when he was "making repairs." Well, now
I know. Our phone was out of order one day while he was there, and I went over
to use her phone and found my husband in her arms. I am frantic. I am sure he
loves me and the little ones. What should I do? Should I get a divorce?
Dear Distraught,
Distraught in Detroit
You sound like a devoted mother. We all know that divorce is very hard on
everyone, especially the kids I recommend that you talk over the situation with
your husband. After ten years of marriage, surely you can reach an understanding
about the widow Talbot. Try cooking his favorite food and pampering him a bit
more than usual to woo him back to you. If your own efforts fail, you should make
an appointment with a professional marriage counselor to discuss the situation.
