THE story is told of two couples living in a housing scheme in Clarendon who were best friends for years. They trusted and looked out for each other.

However, one of the wives was carrying on with the other's husband, unbeknownst to both their spouses.

One day when her husband was scheduled to be working late, the cheating wife was getting her groove on with her husband's best friend, when hubby, a police officer attached to a station in town, came home early. Upon entering the room he saw his wife and best friend in the throes of passion.

Angry, betrayed and shocked, he pulled his licensed firearm and would have shot his friend had he not run outside alerting the whole community.

It's hard enough finding out the person you love likes someone else, but when you get the full colour movie version all at once, it can be devastating, as the readers below shared.

Carla:

I was scheduled to work at an entertainment event one night which would have had me staying out of town until the following morning. However, when I got to the location rain was pouring, resulting in the postponement of the show. I had to go back home but decided not to call my boyfriend to let him know as I would wake him up. I got in around midnight.

Even before I entered the house, I suspected that something was not right. I could hear shuffling in the house. I started cursing and went through every room. I had a girlfriend with me who lived out of town but she had decided she would stay over because she didn't have a ride to go home at the time. She tried calming me down but I just kept cussing and asking for the girl.

I had looked in every room and found no one so I decided to turn to the closet. Lo and behold a girl was inside crouching and quivering with fear.

I dragged her out and gave her some licks! My boyfriend came and pulled me off and she ran out of the house.

Michael:

I was engaged to this girl and I didn't want to have sex till we were married. It was something I was very passionate about, but even though she was a Christian, she was more liberal than I am, and sex wasn't a big deal to her.

I thought everything was fine until one day my mother called me upset, to a house meeting. A lot of my family was there, and my uncle said he had seen my fiancée on top of my older brother on the couch kissing. When the whole family confronted her, and while I was there crying, she just shrugged and said she didn't want a puss in a bag, and she figured that she would test my brother out to see what kind of loving she could expect to get from someone in the same gene pool.

'Soljie':

I had a girl who I was planning to marry. I had just bought my house and fixed it up. One Monday I got a call that I was to go to camp until Wednesday. We were so happy that we were moving into our new home together that I remember before I left I told her we would 'christen' the house when I got back the Wednesday. We had not yet moved in so she was not supposed to be there. When I got to camp I realised that I had left something at the house. When I got there and went inside all I could see were her two feet in the air and a man...

I forgot that I had a gun in my hand but when he turned around he saw the gun and ran out of the house. I just told her to leave and went back to camp. That was the end of that.

Heidi:

I came home at a time when I wouldn't usually do so and caught him in bed with another woman. I told the two of them to get out. He pushed me in another room so that she could leave. Her car was parked in the yard. At the time he had total control over me. He was a terrible person. But there is hope after a disastrous relationship because right now I am very happy.
