Such a cliche… had a gut feeling after a few weeks of phone weirdness, anger, running lots, losing interest in the kids so knew that something was up and opened his post.
Saw a transaction for a florist in another part of town, and phoned the florist and pretended to be a flustered secretary who had lost the original receipt and needed to process my boss’s expenses and please could she help me because I would be in so much trouble if I didn’t do it today
she read out the name, address and message (“you’re so special, we are so lucky we found each other”)
Immediately puked up, then opened Google
Within a few mins, I realised she was a colleague, found her social media accounts where she had posted gushing shite about ‘special dinners with a special someone’ on nights when he had been at ‘work events’, and weirdest of all, she had retweeted an article from the Times defending affairs.
She knew he was married and had kids because she signed the cards that the office sent when our DCs were born, and ExH had photos of the kids all over his office
