I’m paranoid my wife is having an affair with a man we met at our local pub
DEAR DEIDRE: I’M wondering if my wife is having an affair with a bloke we met in our local pub.
My wife is 49 but he’s only in his thirties. I’m 52.
I’m a technophobe and social media doesn’t interest me but I got my wife a tablet for her birthday. She set up a Facebook account and now I get little attention while she talks to friends online.
I then got her a new mobile phone and she downloaded WhatsApp and is constantly messaging the pub guy.
I’ve snooped and last night she sent 22 messages. She’s sent 17 today and it’s only 11am. There’s not much in the messages but she ends them all with x and so does he.
She denies she’s having an affair but I have my doubts.

DEIDRE SAYS: Many people use x at the end of every message and you haven’t found anything suspicious, but maybe this younger guy is giving her the attention she needs.
