(Apparently, she&#8217;s suspected his infidelity.)<\/p>\n<p>They talk for several hours, then decide to open his computer, using a password his wife knows.<\/p>\n<p>When they do<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We found he was registered on internet dating sites and had been messaging women across the country,&#8221; she says.&#8221;I realised then that I&#8217;d been fed a pack of lies. His wife even revealed they&#8217;d been having a normal sexual relationship. I felt sick and betrayed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Back home, she logged onto her lover&#8217;s secret Hotmail account using the home computer password his wife had used. It worked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I discovered even more slushy emails to other women,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each one I read made me more angry. There were lots between him and a lady in Scotland, and I learned he&#8217;d been on holiday with her. He&#8217;d told her he loved her, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Laura copied the most intense, personal message he&#8217;d sent her and pasted it into an e-mail which she sent to everyone in his address book.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted everyone to know what he&#8217;d been up to. I got a huge rush of adrenaline as I hit &#8216;Send&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Soon, replies were flying in from all over the world, saying things like: &#8220;Good on you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before she knew it, Chris himself was on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He rang and said: &#8216;What are you playing at? Are you trying to get me sacked?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the damage was already done. I&#8217;m so glad I sent that e-mail. It felt absolutely brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Women can&#8217;t fight physically so need other means of attack. As long as it does not cause long-term damage, I think it&#8217;s harmless.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ultimately, Chris kept his wife and his job, while I released all my frustration and anger.
