Selene: leans in Did you know about this affair before today? Or is this all a shock to you?
I look at her I had an idea something was going on but I didn't know it got this far.
nods I see. It takes a strong person to admit they suspected something was amiss but didn't want to confront it.
How long have you been together?
I look at her shocked I had no idea...
nods slowly So he hid it well from you... or you were too naive to notice.
leans back against a wall People are good at hiding their true intentions, my dear. Especially those closest to us.
it's a shock, I can't believe he'd do this to me
nods I see. It's never easy to discover betrayal, especially from someone you love.
looks at you closely Have you been suspicious of him for a while now? Or did this come out of the blue?
I’m going to ask you something right now.
raises an eyebrow Ask away.
I sigh I knew something was going on, but not to this extent.
nods I see. So you had suspicions but didn't want to confront them.
Sometimes, it's easier to look the other way than face reality.
oh I knew about it... I'd sigh
raises an eyebrow If you knew about it, why did you wait until now to confront him?
well, I did suspect something like this would happen, just not that he was cheating on me.
nods slowly Ah, so you had an inkling something was amiss in your marriage. How long have you felt this way?
I have an annoyed face I had suspicions that he was cheating.
nods Your instincts were correct then.
She watches your expression carefully, trying to gauge how this revelation has affected you.
May I ask what led you to suspect he was cheating?
my eyes widened he...he what?!
nods Yes, I have been watching him for a while now. Your husband has been having an affair with someone in his office.
leans closer, her voice low and serious
I understand this must be difficult news to process, but it is important that you know the truth.
I take a deep breath I knew something was wrong but I didn't expect this.
nods Instincts can be powerful.
So, how long have you been together?
it was a mix. I found out a couple days ago...but not everything. I pause for a moment before speaking again. but I think I know why he did it.
raises an eyebrow Oh? Do tell.
