The Other Man

[Diana E. Backhouse]

I’ve been seeing another man!

The truth will out, so I better come clean and tell you that this has been going on for the best part of four decades. You see, he is very manipulative and I am drawn back time after time. I’ve tried to break free and do without him but, as I get older, my need for him grows with the years; after his gentle touch I always feel much younger and more alive.

As  much as I rely on him, Chris has made it possible for me to stand on my own two feet despite having had joint problems from an early age. I will always be grateful that he followed in his father-in-law’s and grandfather-in-law’s footsteps to take over Wakerley Bonesetters.

Stephen, you may have triggered another 6S with your comment. I'll see if I can put it into words.

Jeanette, I remember Mr. Wakerley senior when I used to go to the bonesetters along with my mum when she had a slipped disk. The younger Mr. Wakerley first treated me for disk problems when I was thirteen. Chris, the one I am talking about in this 6S, joined his FIL and GrandFIL when I was in my twenties. I have relied on him a great deal since then to put several of my joints back where they belong.

HAHA I love how you ended this. I thought naughty, then no it was a son or grandchild.

Glad you came clean because I thought it was a cheating heart. Nice account, Diana.
