I’ve been sexting my son’s barber, and now things are getting hairy
DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE been sexting my son’s barber, and now things are getting hairy.
My son is due a haircut next week, and I’m feeling nervous because I’m married.
I’m 28 and my son is six. My husband is 30.
We haven’t been getting on well lately, or having sex.
When my son’s barber sent me a message about his next appointment, the conversation got flirty.
I should have shut it down, but I was feeling bored and loved his attention. After that, we started sexting each other.
I know it’s wrong but it feels really exciting. It’s been so nice to know a man is interested in me.
The problem is, I don’t think he’s single either.
I’m worried how he’ll act when he sees me at the barber shop, or that he’ll suggest we meet up.
I’ve never cheated before. What should I do?

DEIDRE SAYS: Stop! You’re playing a dangerous game.
Ask yourself whether you really want to get involved in an affair that will risk your marriage and mess up your son’s life.
If you’re unhappy in your relationship, you need to fix it, rather than looking elsewhere. Talk to your husband honestly about your feelings.
It might be wise to find a new barber for your son or to put a stop to the sexting, simply explain you are committed and can’t take this further.
If you do take your son, be friendly but don’t flirt, so it’s clear where you stand.
