- A Mumsnet user revealed that her husband cheated on her with a co-worker, whom he still sees “almost every day” at their office
- The wife noted that they live in a small town with a limited amount of jobs for someone with her husband’s experience level
- “We have reconciled and are working through things, but I’m at my wits’ end about what to do!” she said, before asking for advice
An unhappy wife shared that she is uncomfortable with her husband still working at the place where he had an affair with a younger colleague.
The woman detailed the affair on the community forum Mumsnet, where she also shared her candid feelings and asked for advice.
“I found out last year that my husband had an affair with a work colleague who is 25 years younger than him,” she wrote. “The affair was emotional as well as physical. He was and is her manager at the workplace.”
“The difficulty is that they continue to work together in a small office consisting of 4 to 5 members of staff, including them, and see each other almost every day,” she continued, noting that they live in a small town.
She also emphasized that their small community has a limited number of jobs for someone with her husband’s experience level.
“We have reconciled and are working through things, but I’m at my wits’ end about what to do! I’m not happy that they work together and see each other almost daily,” she concluded, before asking the forum for advice.

Several Mumsnet users suspected that the affair is still happening, with one person commenting, “He is very likely still cheating because there have been no consequences. You’ve stuck your head in the sand to mask to pain and it won’t work. You didn’t deserve this. You DESERVE to be loved, respected and be your partner’s main priority.”
Another reader offered a list of options for the wife to consider.
“Move elsewhere for a different job; he commutes a further distance for a different job; he takes a lesser-paid job elsewhere; she leaves; or you split up,” that person replied. “Staying as is would not be an option for me.”
Many people agreed that the working situation has to change.
“He or she has to leave. No way can they continue to work together if you are to have any chance of working this out,” a third person responded.
