Whew!! Man I seem to be pressing my luck lately. I'm in a 4 month affair with a man I've fallen head over heels in love with. I am the married one, with no children where he is single. We have had many conversations discussing that it would be best if we no longer kept this affair going. Late yesterday afternoon we had one such conversation. I went into another office and closed the door. When I emerged some time later it was obvious that I had been crying. I reached my office and barely had time to reach for a kleenex when all of a sudden my husband appears at my door wanting me to leave a few minutes early so we could go grocery shopping. Holy moly was I caught off guard, sniffling and everything.

So regardless of the conversation we had yesterday (banging head on desk) every now and then I drive 8 miles into another town and meet the OM during lunch. On the return trip I travel down one particular road, a straight shot to my job really. There is a road that intersects the road that I travel and it takes a slight jog before continuing on. Therefore if my husband were to ever travel that road he would be on it for approximately one city block. Today on my return trip, who drove past me on that one block strip? Sure enough right there for a split second was my husband passing me. I'm sure he's wondering what the heck I was doing on that side of town.

Hey ya powerpuff, sorry, creampuff, (couldn't resists that one... LOL)

Sorry you are in dire straits today. I have been there and done that. I have had H pass by OM's house one day, really the street the he lives in and guess what I was doing in there, getting out of OM's apartment complex. Yikes!!! Talk about close call. Luckily my H did not notice me on the side and didn't ask him about it. Whew!! If he had done, I wouldn't have had a plausible answer for it... Just think up something, I am sure you can, and have it ready when he asks you. Don't volunteer anything by yourself. Let us know how it goes....
