The Cheat

Sandra had three affairs that I know of. 

In 1992 I suspected her of having an affair with one of her friend’s husbands. I had no solid proof though.

In late January, early February Sandra conceived, a surprise considering I was temporarily infertile due to the side effects of medication. Sandra had lost quite a bit of weight in the months prior to her pregnancy and made the excuse that she was ill, therefore more prone to falling pregnant. She obviously didn’t consider my infertility when contemplating her excuse. She had in fact lost weight through a lack of appetite and worry over the discovery of her affair.

Sophie was born in October 1993.

Several months after Sophie’s birth it was revealed that Sandra was having another affair, this time with her best friend’s husband, Mike. That caused a stir around the village.

Around a week after the discovery of her affair her paramour from her initial affair called me to shout jealous abuse at myself and Sandra. I then called his wife to make her aware. I doubt she knows her husband may have another child outwith her marriage. If she reads this she’ll know who she is.

Sophie was born during a period of Sandra’s promiscuity, during which Sandra was having an affair with two of her friend’s husbands.

Given her promiscuity I doubt Sandra knows the identification of Sophie’s father. It’s quite possible both affairs were concurrent. I’m pretty certain I know who the father is though.

In early 2000 I discovered Sandra was having another affair, this time with a with a work colleague, Vic. Vic stupidly called our house one evening, drunk and crying over the phone for Sandra. I eventually told him where to go.  When I told Sandra he had called she made excuses, obviously lying.

Vic’s partner eventually started calling me, asking me to keep her away from Vic. This was around 2002. She’d followed them, only to observe them having a sexual liaison in his car.

By then I couldn’t care less. I’d given Sandra enough chances.

These are the affairs I know of, two of them having been witnessed. It is highly likely there were others.
