Clip description

Private investigator Charles believes that once the barrier of fidelity has been broken, adultery is easier a second and third time round. Helen, Catholic mother of six, describes how her twenty-eight-year marriage ended as a result of her husband’s adultery, and observes she is less lonely now. John’s wife walked out with their builder after twenty years of marriage. John, a musician, talks about the impact on all involved, including children and grandparents.
