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. She 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
her. 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 hockey equipment so I
could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a nightout 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 hockey gear, that I noticed a hairline crack
where the blade meets the graphite shaft on my new one piece hockey stick.

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

Please Advise,
Pete
