I had dinner with a friend last night who found out her live in partner was married - his "working away' periods were went he back to his wife - by reading a text his WIFE had sent him asking him to pick up milk/dry cleaning or something 'on his way home'.
Lo and behold, they both do the same job and a couple of years later meet up at a professional do. Everyone goes out to dinner and she sits next to him and he is charming and handsome and very flattering and after a couple of glasses of wine she starts wondering if she should give him a second chance - till loverboy goes to the loo and leaves his phone by his plate.
She has a quick shifty at his texts and yep, two lots, one lot from the latest girlfriend waiting for him 'at home' and another from his wife saying that she is missing him......
Texts! Who'd be without them?
