Wife cheated on me for three years and I think she was swayed by his money

DEAR DEIDRE: I WAS married for 15 years to a woman I loved. But she had an affair for the last three years.

I feel she was only with me until someone richer and more successful came along – and then once she was sure she’d secured him, she jumped ship.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.

I’m 46 and she’s 41. She never told me why her head turned.

And I don’t understand it. I’m good-looking and good in bed and lots of conquests after my marriage broke up have told me I’m impressive down below.

So the only conclusion is she was swayed by his pay packet.

All I know is I will never trust another woman. I see the way they are always eyeing up the next opportunity.

I’m sure about 80 per cent of women cheat and think they would all cheat if they knew they could get away with it.

DEIDRE SAYS: I’m so sorry your wife betrayed your trust and left.

You won’t ever know her reasons unfortunately if she won’t open up to you.

Unfortunately, if a partner isn’t willing to trust, any relationship will always falter.

It would really help to have some counselling so that you can move forward with your life.
