The Man Who Kept Calling Our House For weeks, a man kept calling our home phone. Whenever I answered, he’d ask for my wife. If I asked who was calling, he’d say it was personal. My wife always claimed he was a former colleague who needed help with something. Then one afternoon, he called while she was standing beside me. She saw his number and immediately asked me not to answer. That was when I became concerned. I answered anyway. The man paused when he heard my voice. Then he said, “I didn’t know you were home.” I asked why that mattered. He apologised and hung up. My wife started crying before I even turned to look at her. She admitted they had been involved for nearly a year.
