This weeks poll reminded me of the time I was in a rather awkward situation. My mother was in the local theatre company's production of " Oklahoma!" and I attended a dress rehearsal of the performance. I was walking through the back corridor of the theatre when I saw Ali Hakeem (my sport teacher's husband) and Ado Annie (the married mother of a class mate of my sister) in a romantic clinche that was not part of the script. i mumbled an apology for disturbing their "rehearsal" and did not show my face backstage again. Apparently i was not the only one to stumble accross this pair because not long after my sport teacher accepted a job in Melbourne and moved with her husband and Ado Annie went through a rather nastly split with her husband.

Infidelity can lead to bigger and better things (maybe I should rephrase that). I met my soul mate 25 years ago in an amateur theatre group in a town in WA. We were both married with children but our marriages were on the rocks. There was an instant attraction between us. We broke up from our respective spouses and when free, we married. We have been happily married for 22 years now but there have been times when my man has been in a play with an attractive woman, that a niggling thought has got the better of me. Could it happen again? I don't think it has but who knows? I know it hasn't for me.
