How 3 Wives Discovered They Were Victims of Summer Infidelity

Summer is the cheating season. Infidelity and extramarital affairs usually flourish this time of the year. According to statistics, 50% to 70% of husbands cheat on their wives. A good percentage of these affairs take place during the summer months.
Most Summer Affairs Go Undetected
Studies reveal that 2/3 of the wives whose husbands are cheating have no idea their husbands are having an affair. Most summer infidelity goes undetected because it’s easier for cheating husbands to hide their extramarital affairs. But getting away with a summer fling only encourages a cheating husband to do it again next year. Some wives catch on quickly to what their husbands are up to and quickly nip these summer affairs in the bud. Other women find out about these summer flings quite by accident. Let’s take a look at how 3 unsuspecting wives accidentally discovered they were the victims of summer infidelity.
He Sent Her Away So He Could Play
Sharon and Fred always rent a beach house during the summer months. Since Fred works in the city, he drives out to spend weekends with his family, and returns home Sunday night for work the next week. One Wednesday, the kids and their friends next door planned a big beach party. Sharon took the train back to the city to pick up some party favors from their apartment that she thought the kids could use. When Sharon entered the apartment, she found 2 wine glasses on the kitchen counter, the remains of a dinner for two, and candles on the dining table that had burnt down halfway. In their bedroom, on the unmade bed were satin sheets she’d never seen before, and an empty champagne bottle on the nightstand next to the bed.
It’s not uncommon for husbands to play while their wives are away. Some husbands routinely send the wife and kids to the beach, the lake, the country, or to visit relatives in another state, with this in mind. Most wives have no idea what their husbands are up to while they’re away. Instead of sitting home watching the ballgame on TV, eating pizza and drinking beer, he’s wining and dining his ladylove.
The Fictitious Fishing Trip and Other Lies
Marcy never gave it a second thought when Hank left early one morning for a 3-day fishing trip – supposedly with the guys. Later that afternoon, their neighbor asked to borrow Hank’s pruning shears, so Marcy went to get them from the storage shed. Imagine her surprise when she noticed Hank’s fishing gear still in its usual place. In his haste to get away for the weekend trip with his mistress, Hank forgot to take along his fishing gear to back up his alibi.
Cheating husbands often disguise vacations with their mistress as fishing, camping or rafting trips with the guys. They know their wives are unlikely to question “guys only” outdoor activities or extreme sports, and rarely ask to tag along. While you’re under the assumption that he’s hiking the Appalachian Trail with his buddies, he’s actually holed up with his honey in a cabin by the lake.
The Bogus Business Trip
Normally Claire accompanied Larry on his business trips. But this time she wasn’t invited to come along. Larry said he had an unusually heavy schedule with seminars all day and client meetings at night. Feeling uneasy about Larry’s business trip, Claire called his office pretending to be a client needing to get in touch with him. No one mentioned anything about the business conference Larry told Claire he had to attend. She was told that Larry was on much-needed vacation and would be unreachable by phone until he returned the following week. Claire was referred to the colleague who was handling Larry’s accounts.
Trysts with the mistress are often disguised as bogus business trips. But even valid business trips can give a cheating husband a chance to cheat far from the sight of prying eyes. If he’s attending a summer conference with female co-workers, a budding office romance could blossom into a full blown affair. Are his trips occurring more frequently or lasting longer than usual? A cheating husband can always add a few extra days to a legitimate business trip so he can spend that time with his lover.
