Top Private Investigator Bill Mitchell recently appeared on the Dr. Phil Show is the author of "The More You Know – Getting the evidence and support you need to investigate a troubled relationship."

Knew a good friend of the family for 20+ years. My marriage was one of feeling alone in my own home. Sex happened once or twice a year, and then there was no enjoyment for her. It was more or less a "duty" thing for her. Over the years an extra hundred pounds showed up on my wife which was/is difficult for me to cope with since I stay trim and fit. We are both 50+ and soon to be grandparents and looking forward to it. Our friend has flirted with me for years, and one day she asked to stop by our house while my wife was working, for a massage. The first visit was just a massage, but the next dozen were very fulfilling sex that both of us really enjoyed. Her husband is not interested in sex very much either. We met 3 to 5 times a week for a few months until she left a letter I had given her after I took her on an overnight business trip that she asked me to take her on. During our relationship she volunteered information about previous affairs she had in the past. After she left the letter lay on their dining room table, and her husband found it, it ended. It's been 3 months now and I found out recently she has explained the whole affair as just a one-time deal in the motel while on the business trip with me. Claims to her husband I enticed her there, then got a room with only one bed, and took advantage of her. The whole trip was done at her request, what a piece of work she turned out to be. My wife and I are doing well, she has taken my error very well, and I learned a hard lesson.
