Amanda stood in her lounge on a Friday evening waiting for her husband Matt. He was late arriving from work. Tears were streaming down her face, her face wracked with fear and guilt. She had taken her two children to her parents for the night because she had a serious confession to make to her husband, one that would more than likely tear her family apart and traumatise their children.

She couldn’t help but think about their life together. It was a good life, happy, safe, and secure. Full of so many happy memories. Matt was a wonderful husband, attentive and caring. Their lovemaking was so fulfilling both physically and emotionally. She couldn’t dream of a better father for their children. Life was perfect.

It should have been enough but when she was offered the chance she accepted. She resisted at first but the temptation was too great. She shouldn’t have but she did. That first time was one time too many but she did it again. Then again and kept doing it over the past two months. Why? Why did she do it? She didn’t love him. He was less than Matt yet he made her feel how she deserved.

The sound of a car made her look out of the window and she saw Matt pull into the driveway. Amanda took a deep breath to compose herself then another. It was no good, it didn’t help. When Matt walked in, she threw herself at him making him drop his laptop bag on the floor, wrapping her arms around him, kissing like it would be the last time she would do it. It would more than likely be.

“Matt, I love you! I love you so much!” she sobbed.

“Mandy, what’s the matter?” Matt asked full of concern. Perplexed at his wife’s welcome.

“I’ve done something terrible. Something awful. Something unforgivable.”

“I don’t understand?” Matt said with confusion. “It can’t be that bad.”

Amanda held onto Matt tighter, “For the past two months I have been having an affair with a colleague at work.”

She felt Matt’s arms tighten around in a loving embrace, feeling the hotness of his breath on her ear then she heard the words she least expected, “I know.”
