Considering an Affair

Dear Dr. Roberta,
My husband drives a truck and is only home a few days each month. I am lonely for male companionship. Is it true that what you don’t know doesn’t hurt you? I was thinking about sleeping with one of my neighbors who says he is very good at keeping secrets.

Alone, Florida

Dear Alone,

Your husband deserves your loyalty. If you want him to change jobs discuss that with him and encourage him to learn a new trade. Sex with a neighbor almost always becomes public knowledge and often results in violence. Be smart and honor your marriage vows.
