Young women of the age of 28, married at 17 and had two young daughters, bored with life in general and had an affair.

At the age of 28 Lucy thought life was passing her buy without any real adventures to look forward to.  She had married at 17 and given birth to two lovely daughters by the age of 19.  They were growing up but during this time, he husband had an affair with a previous girl friend.  For the sake of the children Lucy did not do anything about it at the time but decided she could never forgive him.

She worked for a local cleaning company as PA to the managing director.  Did her job extremely well and was a well thought of member of the staff.

One evening, a girls night out had been arranged and Lucy looked forward to a good evening with her friends.  She did not drive at the time so rather than walk home in the dark, she decided to take a taxi.  She was found herself being chatted up by the taxi driver and felt quite flattered by his attentions.  The next week when visiting her mother she thought she would call the cab company again and it was the same driver again.

They chatted for some five miles on the journey and arranged to meet up one evening for a drink.  Lucy knew this was a dangerous idea but found the thought of it all very exiting.  She had become a mum at a very early age, her husband had begun an affair with an ex girl friend and Lucy thought nothing less than its pay back time.

The taxi driver and lucy met quite often, formed a loving relationship, didn’t really know much about her lover until one evening when she arrived home to be greeted by her lover’s wife and mother-inlaw.

It transpired that the taxi drivers wife had been heavily pregnant when Lucy started seeing him and had given birth very recently.  Obviously the wife and mother-inlaw were very upset and Lucy learned the lesson that the grass is not greener on the other side and that she was being used by this driver who had probably had affairs galore in the past because it was easy for him given the job he did.

Lucy felt absolutely terrible, she felt dirty and used and thought her behaviour had been no better than her husbands in the past.  He and her husband spoke about the affairs they had both had in the past and decided to put it all behind them and talk to each other more if something was troubling either of them.
