Reader's Question of the month
My husband has been leading a double life. Am I overreacting?
For a while now our relationship has been falling apart and I really couldn't understand why. I found out there has been another women in his life. I have also discovered that he has a whole other life that revolves around work that I was not a part of, he had never even mentioned this woman or some other friends from work.
