A MAN who has been married for the past 32 years says that he caught his wife on Tuesday night red-handed making love to another man in a house in a housing scheme on the Essequibo Coast.

According to the husband who spoke to this publication, he had suspected that his wife had a ‘sweet man’ (an illicit lover) and was tracking her down for several weeks.

According to the father of one, he went to a place of worship in his village where his wife had left to go earlier. However, on inquiring for her, he was told by some leading members of the worship centre that she had left to go out to look after some business with her bicycle.

The husband said he became highly suspicious that his wife had gone to see her ‘sweet man’ who is living in the same village with them.

He said he quickly rode his bicycle to the ‘sweet man’s’ house, took off his shirt and slippers in the dark night and walked quietly into the yard and peeped through a crease in the wall. He related that with the aid of a light in the house, he saw his wife and the ‘sweet man’ on a bed making love.

He said he immediately knocked on the wall loudly and called his wife’s name and said, “Wha you doing in dat man house, a ketch you red- handed.” However, there was no answer.

The grandfather of one said his wife has slept out several times but he never caught her in any act of adultery.

He said after he saw her bicycle outside the man’s house he was certain that she was in the house and peeped in to see what was happening.

The angry husband said he took her bicycle away and left it by some friends and then went back for his own bicycle.

He said he hid between some trailers that were parked on the street shoulder and saw when his wife came out the house with her ‘sweet man’ and the two walked along the street without noticing him.

Meanwhile, the man said his wife is neither cooking, washing his clothes, nor doing anything for him. He said she also locks the upper flat of the building, denying him entrance to his home.

However, the man has since put the matter before the Probation and Welfare Department at Anna Regina. He said he doesn’t want his wife any longer and if she continues to be around him, it can end up in tragedy.
