It's just I like to know for sure where I stand in a relationship - if the one to tell me is the boyfriend's wife, then so be it! :D

Actually, I unwittingly saved a marriage by doing just that - I KNEW the couple very well and he had an affair which was about to split the marriage up. I rang 'the other woman' and asked her if she knew her 'new man' was calling his wife daily to check if she was OK.

That was about 20 years ago and my friends are still together.

The 'other woman' was livid! hahahahahaha
