Have you ever seen anyone with someone they shouldn’t be with in a place miles from home ?

Just finished reading the article in yesterdays DM about the Coldplay Cuddlers and it reminded me of many years ago when I visited a very well known busy tourist town for the day midweek miles from my home town and I spotted two managers from work ( both married to other people) waiting hand in hand in the queue for the pleasure boats. They had been the subject of gossip for weeks and this now confirmed it . Thankfully they didn’t spot me and they are still married to their spouses . It just shows no matter how careful you think you are or how discreet you think you are , someone somewhere will catch you out .

No but I have been 'caught' with the wrong man on a work day a few miles from where I should have been. As I was quite senior I just felt embarrassed and didn't do it again. No one grassed on the man. So he was OK
A woman I know asked for a day off, it was refused then she took a sickie. Was seen on TV in the Paddock at Royal Ascot. She had to resign.

Yes. I saw a married woman I knew very slightly walking through a city arm in arm with someone other than her husband. She didn’t see me.

I didn’t mention it to anyone (because after all it could have been her brother for example) but the marriage broke down very publicly a few months later due to her infidelity.

Yes. My Aunt, not with my Uncle.
In my teens, went on the train to another to town with my friend. Bumped into my Aunt holding hands with a man. She saw me. We said awkward hellos.

I made my friend promise to never tell anyone. I told my Aunt I'd never tell anyone (she later asked me if I was going to tell. I idolised my Aunt).

She left my Uncle about 6 months later, then went back to home, then had another affair, then went back to him, then left. All very sad and my cousins very damaged.

I onced bumped into someone I knew from school in a service station about 4 hours from home. I went over to say 'hello' and vaguely recognised the bloke she was with and made cheery conversation with them for 5 minutes. 'Hello you two! Have you been away for the weekend somewhere nice?'

They were incredibly awkward with me.

It was about an hour later when I realised who he was. He was my DCs dentist and his wife acted as his practice nurse.

I used to work with a guy almost 30 years ago, quite fancied him really and got on really well but only had a snog. Anyway left there and after a few years moved over 100 miles away.
A couple of years ago I'm sure I saw his wife as I served her at work with another man.
I've only ever seen her on FB so wasn't 100% sure but caught a glimpse of her credit card and she had the same initials.
Obviously never told anyone that knew either of them but did piss me off that I chose the wrong guy back then as he's lovely and well my ex certainly isn't!

Many years ago a supplier walked into the same restaurant we were having our Xmas dinner in with a woman who wasn’t his wife. Seen by 20+ people who all knew him and knew he was married to someone else.

Some years ago a now ex manager was off sick. Colleague came into office and announced that X was on Match of the Day last night. Furious internet search and sure enough the manager was with his son and eating chips from a tray at Villa Park. The commentators made some cheeky comments about stealing his sons chips. This spotting took 0.2 seconds to go round the Dept and get escalated to Snr Managers who laughed it off.

A few years ago someone I knew was walking about with a woman who wasn't his wife. He was spotted and Wife left him and he moved in with the new gf into her house. He spent time and money doing the house up. Everything lovely until she wanted him gone. She threatened to reveal to HMRC all his cash in hand jobs he had done, the amounts and dates which she had written down. Off he went, poorer and poss wiser.

My friend was spotted in a pub a couple of hours away from home with a 'work colleague' who wasn't her partner by two other acquaintances of mine who were working away on a job. My friend claimed to them that she was on a business trip with said work colleague. However she did finish with her partner not long after and got in to a relationship with the him.

Me on holiday on a beach, sucking on a Pina colada, I saw a client of mine (married, kids) right there with his PA, all loved up in holiday mode.

I'm sorry but I just couldn't help myself: wandered over and said, "Gosh! Small world! Where are the kids?"

I felt a bit bad as he looked like he was about to have a coronary and I think she might have actually shat herself.

Awful people. Both of them.

I made a phone call to my office and sacked off his account same afternoon.

When I was at Secondary school there was only 1 shop within walking distance so we went there most days at lunchtime. We got to know the shopkeeper and his wife pretty well.
A group of 8 of us went out to a restaurant in a different town for my 16th and at the table next to us was the shopkeeper holding hands with another lady.
We got his attention and waved and he shot out of there leaving his "date" behind.
On Monday lunchtime we filed into the shop as usual and he took one look at us and vanished (again). We visited regularly for the next 2 years and while we never did say anyting to his wife he must have been very worried whenever one of us went in
