I wonder how many times we've said to ourselves, "If I could only turn back the clock . . ."

I've said things like, "If I only knew then what I know now, maybe I could have stopped this thing before it happened." Even after she first went to bed with him, my chance of stopping the affair then would have been much greater.

But, you know, there isn't really anything I could have done, because I never knew anything was wrong. She never told me anything was wrong, in fact, she had just written me a wonderful Father's Day card telling me how these were the happiest years of her life.

Four weeks later she began the affair.

No, turning back the clock isn't possible, and it wouldn't have done me any good anyway.

And the affair is not my fault.
