Advice needed please

I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been having an affair. The usual signs, you know. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up immediately.

She started going out with "the girls" a lot recently, although everytime I ask her which girls it is, it is always the same answer along the lines of ". . . oh just some friends from work honey, you don't know them". I always look out for her taxi coming home late at night upon her return but she always walks down the road from a little ways down, thereby blinding my vision, although I can always hear a car setting off in a rapid manner with lights dimmed or off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner and walked the little way home. Why is this? Is it not a taxi? Is it friends dropping her off? Who?

I once picked her mobile phone up just to see what time it was, and at the sight of that she went absolutely beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her anyway.

Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night I had enough and soon after she went out again and I decided to check on her this time around.

I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a unobstructed veiw of the whole street, so thereby I could clearly see which car she gets out of.

It was whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed a little rust around my inner rear wheel arch. I was devastated beyond words could portray!

So my Question is should I fix it myself or take it to a body shop ?

    You $#!^@ - I hope you include the next installment of your wife's affair when you write to update those people interested in the rust (I was actually feeling sorry for you, and had started wondering who was watching the kids while you detected!!!).
