I’ve lost everything after one stupid affair with a girl from work[/caption]

I’m a self-employed electrician. I went to a customer’s house a year ago and a beautiful, young woman answered the door. I instantly fancied her.

She sat watching me while I fixed a dodgy light switch. She said she was 28 and a single mum. There was a definite sexual tension between us.

She started texting and then she invited me round one afternoon. We started kissing and then we had sex. Later, my wife saw a message on my phone and threw me out.

I have been trying to see the kids most nights. They are my world. I miss them.

My mother-in-law’s ­vin­dictive attitude is rubbing off on my wife.

My wife says I’ve blown it and she won’t have me back because her family would disapprove.

DEIDRE SAYS: Plead and grovel and tell her you made one big mistake.

Focus your energy on what you can do for her and the children and mean every word.

My e-leaflet Cheating – Can You Get Over It? will help you to know where to start to put things right.
