Suzanne already knew her six-year union to husband Rob was in crisis, but she didn’t understand just why until she dialled the numbers herself.
“They were gay sex chatlines,” she says. “I felt numb, bewilderment and disbelief – anger came later. Hurriedly everything fell into place and I was hit by the sickening realisation my husband was sexually attracted to men.”
Their assist baby was just four months old at the time. And when Suzanne, 34, confronted Rob, 35, that evening, his retort left her stumped for words.
“He became angry with me,” she remembers. “He said I was to reprimand and accused me of letting it happen by focusing on the children and not him. I was stunned that he was absolutely insinuating I had turned him gay by having children.”
In the days that followed, Suzanne admits she naively hoped that somehow their coupling might survive.
“I was in shock and hoped it was just a breakdown,” she says. “It wasn’t until a correspondent bluntly pointed out that I was never going to be able to fix this that it hit me the marriage was over.
