An Affair In The Works

By Sandy Cabral

Do you know what men want and women don’t? Have you ever considered the gender differences in your relationship? What observations have you come to realize? Do you know the triggers and tricks to make your relationship a lasting one? Read what happens to this couple in a surprising turn of events that gives you a unique insight. After all breaking up is bad enough, but what makes a man or woman take back the other when the trust is broken in the relationship? Is it the insecurities one feels or the fear of loneliness, or something else entirely?

A woman is working away at the office on Monday morning, when the phone rings at around 10:00am. She answers it promptly, thinking of course that it is work related. When a woman caller on the other end asks for her, she quickly answers, “This is her, how can I help you?” The woman caller goes on to say, “I work with your husband and I thought you should know that he is having an affair here at work with another woman and it has been going on for a long time.” The now stunned woman asks, “Who is this and how do you know for sure?” The woman replies, “I have seen them kissing, hugging, fooling around and so have others here at work” and hangs up the phone. The still stunned woman sits there with her mind racing over the possibility of, is this true? Knowing that her husband leaves for work at 2:30pm, she tells her boss that she has an emergency at home and has to leave right away.

She arrives home to find him already dressed for work. He asks her, “What are you doing home so early? Are you sick?” She replies, “Why are you already dressed for work when you don‘t have to be there until 2:30pm, that’s 4 hours from now?” He answers, “I was going to go look around at the mall before I have to go to work.” She said, “We need to talk. I received a phone call this morning from a woman who works with you. She told me that you are having an affair with another woman at work for a long time. She said that she has seen you two kissing, hugging and fooling around and other people there at work have seen you.” He denies everything and asks who the woman was? The wife tells him that she doesn’t know who the woman is. “Is it true? Are you having an affair? Who is it with?” He denies everything again. She is very upset and tells him, “Someone just doesn’t call you up out of the blue and tells you that your husband is having an affair, if he isn’t having an affair! Do you think I am stupid?” He answers, “No”, walks out the door and drives away in his car.

She waits up for him that night to continue the conservation further. He walks in and begins to tell her, “Before you say anything, I have to tell you that I have been put on suspension for 3 days for inappropriate behavior with a co-worker.” She asks, “What inappropriate behavior are we talking about and who is it with?” He tells her that he was just comforting the woman and that a hug lead to kissing. He was fired from his job after the 3 day suspension at the end of the week when the allegations were proven to be true.

Why do you think the husband continued lieing to his wife, even after she confronted him with the truth? Is anyone really able to trust your significant other when it comes to the opposite sex? Does working opposite shifts and spending less time with one another have anything to do with what happens in your relationship? What does your gender observations tell you ????
