Bizarre ways of catching a cheating husband
Although it’s difficult to accept, but instances of husbands cheating on their wives are not uncommon. However, how a wife finds about her husband’s infidelity can have a varying effect on her—she might be shocked, heart-broken and a few unfortunate ones might even take it for granted. Some might discover it accidentally (the classic instance of lipstick stains on a shirt collar) or a few other might have a premonition and confront the guilty. But no one can be prepared for the bizarre ways these seven women discovered how their husbands were cheating on them
The school admission form
“I was once cleaning my husband’s desk where I found a duly filled school admission form tucked inside a book. It was beyond my imagination that my husband was carrying such a form given the fact that both our children were in colleges. When I confronted him, he calmly replied that it was for a friend’s daughter. He had no answers when I asked him how can his friend have the same name as his? What he forgot that it was a duly formed form with his name on the section that asked for the father's bio!”
Strawberry flavoured condoms
“I knew my husband was cheating on me when I found a packet of strawberry-flavoured condom in his stash. If you ask me how does it prove that he was cheating? Well, I hate strawberries, forget about condoms, I can’t even tolerate the smell of strawberries because it makes me throw up. That packet of pink condoms that smelled like the most-hated fruit definitely wasn’t for me.”
When I accidentally discovered his secret bank account
“I accidentally discovered my husband’s secret bank account under which he had also availed a home loan. So, he had a house which I wasn’t even aware of all these years? When I confronted him, he broke down and confessed about his ‘other family’.”
The photograph that caught the other woman’s reflection
“My husband heads the sales department of a company and his job involves a lot of travelling. Once he sent me his picture from a hotel room. Everything was okay until I noticed something strange in the picture, which my husband has missed. A reflection in one of the window panes of his room looked like a woman in her underwear. When I zoomed in, I could recognise the face. It was none other than one his female colleagues!”
When he called me by a different name while we were having sex
“One day when we were having sex and he was about to climax, he called me by a name that shook me to the core. She was his cousin! By the time he realised his mistake, it was too late. I knew the truth and no amount of justification from him could make me change my opinion.”
The candid remark of an over friendly salesman
“I once went to buy a perfume in a luxury fragrance store. It was the only place in our city that retailed good quality perfumes. My husband was very reluctant to accompany me but I dragged him to the store because I could never trust my instincts when it came to fragrances. When we went to pay the bill, the person behind the counter asked my husband, if our daughter liked the perfume she bought last week. Surprise, surprise, we don’t have any daughter. As soon as we reached home, my husband confessed about his affair with one of his students from the university.”
