I've had an affair in EVERY decade of my marriage: In my 20s it was revenge. In my 30s I wanted someone who listened. In my 40s I needed a boost. And then my 50s betrayal changed everything...
Sitting in the kitchen of our oldest friends' house – somewhere we could talk away from the children – I watched, detached, as my husband Andrew tried to defend his affair. 'It was just sex,' he said. 'It didn't mean anything. I know how you must feel, but please believe me when I say that.'

Emotional moment Love Island star Cach admits he DOES still like Toni – despite Harrison recoupling and ‘sneaky' kiss
LOVE Island star Cach admitted he DOES still have feelings for Toni - despite her brutal recoupling with Harrison recoupling and "sneaky" kiss that left him in tears. It comes after they reconciled on the terrace on Friday, with Toni making a tearful apology after she dumped him for Harrison following Casa Amor. 5 5 5 5 5 Love Island fans were left outraged after a recoupling saw Toni sensationally steal back Harrison hours after he slept with Lauren. Humiliated Cach then broke down in tears following the shock betrayal. Tonight, Toni and Cach spoke on the daybeds, and she teased him for giving her a score of 10 for her kiss during the challenge. She asked him: "Like, what do you think about me now?" Cach replied: "Well, obviously I still have feelings for you." Toni replied: "I was hesitant to speak to you after the Harrison thing because I didn't want you to feel like an option." Cach sighed and said: "You've made this bare complicated for no reason. I still aint got an answer for you right now. Other that I'm willing to talk to you still. The door is not completely shut." Cach told her he's still exploring with Billykiss but they haven't had the affectionate or sexual side. Toni's mum has been following the drama and commenting on her daughter's villa journey. She's been keeping a keen eye on what's been going on from their home back in the US, and recently spoke about Harrison's exit. Taking to TikTok, Leslie said: "Obviously I'm really thrilled that he is out of sight, out of mind, and I think that it will speed up the healing process for both Toni and Lauren, to be quite honest." "However, sort of like public service announcement, part of it, for me, is that I have some empathy for him as well," she added. "He is a 22 year old young man who I don't think had any idea of the implications that of his actions, I don't agree with just about anything he did in there. "But I don't think he saw the bigger picture, and I'm sure stepping out of this bubble now is going to be quite traumatic for him, and I would offer him grace." Adding she hoped his time in the villa would prove a "wake-up call of how he should treat people" she continued: "Hopefully he gets the help that he needs to deal with this aftermath. "Because I don't wish him harm. I wish him also healing and learning from his mistakes. "So yes, I am happy he is away from the villa, and again, wishing him health and good luck. "I have a feeling he's in for a very rude awakening, and I feel for his family as well, because nobody wants to see one of your loved ones go through this."

‘Evil' grandson stole £64k life savings from his grieving grandfather
An 'evil' grandson stole £64,000 from his grieving grandfather's life savings, a court heard. Aidan Frier, 26, has been jailed for two and a half years over the fraud, which began soon after his grandfather's wife died. He repeatedly lied about having a job and needing money for training courses between 2021 and last year. The victim said finding out that his grandson had been defrauding him was 'more heartbreaking' than his wife's death. He said: 'I am emotionally ruined. I will never get over this, I can never trust him again.' The victim said he had worked for 49 years to save enough to enjoy a comfortable and 'peaceful' retirement, but his grandson's 'evil' scheme and 'betrayal' had taken this all away from him. He said: 'He needs to admit he has been evil by stealing from me.' The scam began in January 2021 when Frier told relatives that he had begun working under a scholarship scheme and needed money to cover tuition fees, accommodation costs and training courses. Fraud by false representation Frier, who admitted fraud by false representation, also faked photographs of himself pretending to be at work and created fake bank emails, Gurjot Kaur, prosecuting, said. His grandfather agreed to send the money 'without hesitation' and had 'no reason to doubt' his grandson's claims that he would pay it back once qualified, Newcastle Crown Court was told. He later manipulated his grandfather into giving him a £4,000 loan which went immediately into his account. He was unmasked as a fraudster last August when the victim went into his local bank branch to say his grandson had asked for a further £12,000. Staff quickly recognised that the emails he was showing them were scams, the court heard. In mitigation, Peter Sabiston said Frier accepted his conduct was 'shameful' and he was now 'completely isolated' from his own family, which was 'his own fault'. The judge, Recorder Christopher Knox said Frier's crime was 'mean, nasty and cynical', with the fraud conducted in a 'startling and outrageous way'. The judge said: 'You used the money to live a life you didn't deserve. 'You owe money to everybody. You will never be able to enjoy the respect and affection of your family because of the cloud you have brought upon yourself.'

Tell Us How You Found Out Your Partner Was Already Married While You Were Together
Learning your partner cheated is bad enough, but discovering that they were actually MARRIED while you were dating is a whole other level of messed up. And if that's ever happened to you, I need to know your story. For example, maybe you went into your boyfriend's car one day because you dropped your wallet in there, and while you were looking for it, you found his wedding ring in the glove compartment. When you confronted him, he revealed he'd been married for seven years and would take off the ring before seeing you. Related: Maybe you'd been dating your girlfriend for six years and had been wanting to get married, but she kept saying she wasn't ready. Then one night while you two were out having a romantic dinner, a lawyer walked up to her and served her divorce papers. Related: Or maybe you were in a long-distance relationship and your boyfriend always insisted on coming to you rather than you ever going to where he lived. One weekend, you decided to surprise him and fly out to see him. When you pulled up to his address, you saw him through the window having dinner with another three kids. Or maybe you'd been dating your partner for a few years and then one week they went on a trip out of the country with their friends that they were weirdly secret about. After you did some snooping on social media, you were able to find out that their "trip with friends" was actually your partner's wedding and honeymoon. Tell us how you found out your partner had a secret spouse.

My husband's sex addiction has drained me and ruined our marriage… can he ever get better?
DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband's struggle with sex addiction has torn our marriage apart, and I'm completely drained. From escorts to workplace affairs, he can't resist other women. I'm 42 and he's 45. We've been together for over a decade and have two young children. Things began to unravel a few years ago when he started disappearing for hours, coming home late with vague excuses. His phone became off-limits and he became irritable and defensive whenever I asked where he'd been or who he was speaking to. At first, I thought the late nights and secretive behaviour were stress from work. But over time, it became undeniable something was amiss. After months of gaslighting, I snapped and went snooping. I was heartbroken when I found secret apps and deleted messages. Eventually, I learnt he'd been visiting escorts repeatedly, but when I confronted him, he denied everything, twisting the truth and blaming me for being paranoid. I forced him to go to therapy, but he never fully committed and nothing really changed. Recently, I caught him messaging and sexting a female colleague. The betrayal cut deeper than ever. I feel like I'm living with a stranger who hides a whole other life from me. The lies and sneaking around have left me drained and anxious. I worry how it will affect our kids and question if I can keep going like this. Part of me still wants to believe he can get better and that we can rebuild what's been broken. Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it But I don't know how to protect myself emotionally when every step forward comes with two back. DEIDRE SAYS: Living with a partner struggling with sex addiction is painful and confusing, especially when denial and secrecy are involved. Addiction is a complex issue that often requires professional help, but change can only happen if your husband truly commits to recovery. Therapy is a positive step, but as it hasn't worked so far, consider exploring specialist addiction counselling. Read my support packs, Addicted To Sex and Can't Be Faithful, which offer practical advice and resources. If your husband won't commit to positive change, then you do need to look to your own future – for the wellbeing of you and your children. Please consider counselling for yourself to help you take that next step. See I ONLY SEEM TO ATTRACT HURTFUL PEOPLE DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY time I trust someone, they end up hurting me – and I'm starting to think it's my fault. I'm a 39-year-old woman and finally got out of a controlling, abusive marriage last year. It took everything I had to leave. I hoped things would get better, but the patterns keep repeating. One of my oldest friends was constantly putting me down – mocking me, belittling me, even shouting at me when I didn't agree with her. After years of trying to keep the peace, I finally cut ties. Then just weeks ago, a man I'd started to trust turned on me – physically and emotionally. I feel sick and ashamed. I've worked so hard to heal, but it's like I keep getting dragged back to the same dark place. Why do I keep attracting people who hurt me? And why do I always feel like I'm the one to blame? DEIDRE SAYS: None of this is your fault. People who've experienced abuse often develop deep empathy and a desire to keep the peace – qualities that can attract those who take advantage. It's a strength that you've walked away from toxic relationships. That shows growth, not failure. But healing takes time, and you'll need space to process what's happened and understand the patterns. DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER more than a decade together, I thought I knew my wife inside out, but then I saw a side that stunned me. I'm 46, she's 43, and we've been married for 12 years. Things have always been good between us. We laugh a lot, have a decent sex life and she's never given me a reason to doubt her. But last weekend, I had to pop back home unexpectedly and drove through town, where I spotted someone who looked just like her. She was dressed as a man – short wig, men's clothes, and shoes – and chatting to people outside a bar. I pulled over and could see it was definitely her. When I asked her about it later, she denied it. Then she broke down and said it's something she's been doing secretly for years. I don't know how to feel. Has our marriage been a lie? DEIDRE SAYS: Finding out your partner has a hidden side can be deeply unsettling. It's natural to feel confused, hurt or even betrayed as you try to process it. But remember, your wife's cross-dressing doesn't erase the life you've built together or the love you've shared. Honest communication is essential to understand her feelings and what this means for your marriage. My pack, Cross-Dressing Support, offers further guidance. Joint counselling might also help you rebuild trust and find a way forward. FAMILY IGNORE ME SINCE MOVE DEAR DEIDRE: MY family has completely mugged me off – like I only matter when they want something from me. I'm a 36-year-old man and moved to Canada two years ago for work. I knew the distance and time difference might make it harder to keep in touch, but I didn't expect radio silence. I sent messages, updates and birthday wishes – all mostly ignored. I told myself they were busy, that life just got in the way. But then I had a bad fall last year that left me bedbound for months. I was in pain, struggling to manage day to day, and sinking financially. I reached out and asked if one of them could come over, even just for a week, or help me cover basic costs. Nothing. Not even a proper phone call. Now I'm back on my feet, and I've just found out they all went on a big family holiday without me. No invite, no mention. To top it off, my brother has messaged me asking me to put £300 towards a surprise anniversary gift for our parents from 'all of us'. I feel angry, hurt and used. Why should I be generous when they weren't there when I needed them most? DEIDRE SAYS: It's no wonder you feel taken for granted. When you were at your most vulnerable, your family left you to struggle alone, and now they act like nothing happened. It's natural to want closeness and support, especially from those we love, but sometimes we have to set firm boundaries to protect ourselves emotionally. Saying no doesn't make you selfish; it makes you self-respecting. Try to express how their absence made you feel and that things can't go back to normal without honest conversation. Look at my support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, and talk to Family Action ( for emotional support.
