Dear Abby,

I have never written to you before, but I really need your advice.

I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs; phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with 'the girls' a lot recently, although when I ask their names she always says "just some friends from work, you don't know them".

I try to stay awake and look out for her when she comes home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just did not want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to finally check on her. Around midnight, I hid in the garage behind my fishing gear so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with 'the girls.'

When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouching behind my fishing gear, that I noticed a hairline crack near the tip of my 8' St. Croix.

Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the tackle shop where I bought it?

Regards,

Troubled

Oh that sucks man. I feel your pain. There's nothing like loosing something you love. I'm talking about the St. Croix. The good news is that it can easily be repaired before the spring run.

:laughs::laughs::laughs:

Now that right there is funny, I don't care who you are....:hihi:

Good one

You deserve a new one ( rod that is ). Wife optional
