Many women joke about their husbands running off with a nanny or au pair - but for some it becomes a heart-breaking reality.
So what does it feel like to be betrayed by the man you married with a woman living under your own roof? And what kind of man behaves in such a despicable way? Here, in a startling account, a scorned wife shares her despair, while her husband confesses...
Abigail Shepherd, 38, is a project co-ordinator and mother-of-two from Farnham, Surrey. She says:
For the first time in my married life, I stretched my arm out to feel an empty space next to me in bed. It made me shiver. First came a deep pang of sadness, followed by a sudden burst of anger.
Just days earlier, Ben had left me for another woman. And not just any woman, but our nanny of 15 months, who was 23.
And, worse still, I knew he was, at that moment, ensconced with her in her room just across the landing.
Yes, he'd moved a few feet from our room to hers. You might think the fact I allowed such a thing to happen was the most surprising thing of all. But we have two young children - Joseph, six, and Grace, four - and the last thing I wanted was to cause a scene.
Your husband leaving you for the nanny is the kind of cliche you think will never happen to you. Even though I'd long had doubts about our relationship, I never thought Ben was the type to stray or betray me.
When we first met 20 years ago - I was 18 and Ben 20 - it had been Ben who chased me. It was three months before I agreed to go on a date with him. It was our shared love of music and gigs that brought us together.
