I want the truth..

I've decided to ask Ted if he was serious about cheating on Beryl. Partly because I want to get the constant images of septuagenarian sex out of my head, but also because I like them both as friends, and I'd rather him not confess things to me that might make me feel awkward when I'm talking to her. Through all their squabbles over the Summer, I tried to stay as neutral as possible, but on occasions when I was caught in the crossfire, I did tend to land on Ted's side of the situation. I don't want her seeing me as an ally to her husband, rather than a friend to them both. Mind you, it was Beryl who asked me to go round more often, and Beryl who suggested we meet up for chess, so it could be that I'm concerned over nothing.

Incidentally, isn't it telling that FRIEND and FIEND are only one letter apart? Or maybe it's just me..
