Loose lips are said to sink ships, but in the case of a Wagga man they have torpedoed a relationship. Word has it a so-called family man could not keep a secret any longer and told a mate about the visits he had been paying to a stunning younger woman he had met through work. The only problem was the friend found the temptation too great and spilt the beans to a mate who was once close to the foolhardy philanderer before they had a falling out. Not surprisingly, the news soon got back to the womaniser's wife. She considered the answer to her "please explain" unsatisfactory and gave the man a week to pack his bags and get out of the family's life.
