I’ll spend Christmas with my husband & three kids obsessing about my lover – I feel no guilt, it makes me a better wife

MARRIED mum-of-three Anna Bawdwyne, 39, a nurse from Kent, reveals the pain of being separated from her secret boyfriend over the festive period – and why her affair has made her a nicer wife. From the outside, my Christmas Day will look like that of so many other wives and mothers.
I’ll spend it with my husband Greg, 53, and our three kids – aged 10, eight and five – tearing into mountains of presents, playing board games and cuddling up on the sofa. But although I’ll be going through the motions to give my children the perfect family Christmas, there will be someone else on my mind.
That person is Leo, 30, the man I’ve been cheating on my husband with for the past five months. The man I obsess over, like a love-struck teenager. Over the holiday period we’ll be going two weeks without contact – and it’s going to be torture. I won’t pretend it’s his intelligent conversation or dazzling wit I’ll be aching for.
No, it’s the sex, his incredible body, and his three-times-a-night stamina. The only thing that will get me through will be thoughts of the last time we saw each other at my work party in a five-star London hotel. I’m a nurse in the private sector and told Greg that partners were not invited, which was true, and that I would need to stay overnight at the hotel, as I was likely to miss the last train home.
