My role was to be a house husband, looking after house and home as well as our three lovely children whilst at the same time working as a freelance writer and teacher. Then one day there was a horrible telephone call with her married lover boss whereupon he decided to taunt me about his year or more long affair with my 'lovely wife.' I think what peed her off was that she wanted both him and me. I of course refused to have anything to do with that sort of nonsense and pleaded with her to work on saving our marriage. She point blank refused and set about my destruction as some sort of revenge. She didn't want me only, but didn't want anybody else to have me. My role? A stupid dupe who was too blindly in love with somebody to see what was happening under my nose until it was too late.
