School Gate – AKA a hotbed of adultery where women who have been neglected in their marriages are completely fair game.
A place where a man like me, a serial cheater who goes by the pseudonym Dark Horse online, can go in search of fresh meat.

The chatter is usually boring and disrespectful to teachers who are just trying to do their best.
If not that, then it is a reaction to the savagery that is rising in the school’s Facebook group. Unnecessary spite.
Moms do it because they are bored – trapped in loveless, sexless and monotonous marriages. They are the kind who reward themselves with a glass of wine for getting through the bedtime routine with their sanity intact.
They long for adventure, excitement, and I am happy to provide it.

So is it any surprise that their heads turn when it’s my turn to run to school?
It’s at the door of the school where I accidentally fell into a flirt-fest. Just an ordinary Tuesday, and bam!
Our eyes were fixed on the chaos of kids and backpacks — it was like finding a secret level in a video game outside the school gates.
We caught me, the unofficial king of secret love affairs, unprepared. School races turn into hot gossip? That was new.
This wasn’t your kind of chatter; it felt like the start of my next great adventure – or my next great mess.

“I currently have three on the go”
In a world where the phrase ‘happily married’ often elicits eye rolls, I found myself thinking, why not stir the pot?
I have been married for 12 years and cheated the whole time.
I LOVE my wife to the core, but I have lost my way. . . a lots of. I cheated on all the women who came and went before her, but I don’t feel an ounce of guilt about it all.
Girlfriends, girlfriends, lovers – whatever you want to call them – I have three on the go right now and it gives me a thrill to say it out loud.
Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it
I call all my women grandmas, including my wife, so there’s no danger of mixing them up.
Seven out of ten… On my best day
Some might say I’m a sociopath. Others might call me a legend.
But I am neither. I’m just an ordinary man with a crutch, sort of like someone who drinks more alcohol than they should.
I’d love to tell you I’m six pack and drive a Ferrari, but I’m probably a “seven out of ten” on my best day.
Our first chat at school on that usual Tuesday was innocent enough, laughing over the din of the morning rush – the classic school gate rapprochement.
But then there was a spark, a cheeky grin that lingered a little too long, and suddenly it wasn’t just about kids’ lunch menus anymore.
And despite being a veteran at this game, this sudden flirtation threw me for a loop, inciting a battle between the rush of the chase and the nagging voice of conscience in my head.
My wife’s friend.

Share secrets like teenagers
The game changed with one Instagram DM — her name popping up on my phone was like the start of a new quest.
That “hello” could have been “get ready” for what’s about to happen.
Suddenly, we weren’t just two parents chatting outside the school gates; we were in uncharted territory, tiptoeing around a digital Pandora’s box.
Our nightly conversations went from “Did you see the homework they got?” to sharing secrets as if we were teenagers, not parents.
All this happened under the cover of night, our true selves peeking out from behind the facades of parent meetings.
Then she dropped a bombshell – a direct invitation to move things on.

‘What if our secret got out?’
Suddenly I’m in the middle of an epic internal tug-of-war.
The allure of the forbidden is my kryptonite, always has been. But this time, the stakes were different.
I see women with their eyes on me, I can’t deny it and I know they want it – probably you too?

It wasn’t just about excitement anymore; it was about the consequences.
What if our little secret gets out? Imagine gossip at PTA meetings, or worse, it gets back to my kid.
So here I am, caught between a rock and a hot place. She is like something out of the imagination, and her Instagram is a scroll of temptation.

Tottering on the edge of ‘tickling’
The excitement is overwhelming. Our children, who share crayons during the day, and we, their parents, are tangled in the mess.
The thought of playground whispers keeps me occupied, but the collateral damage to my child’s world means I teeter on the edge of tickling.
If it’s not her, I know it will be someone else – it’s only a matter of time because cheating is inevitable, it’s an addiction. And that’s why I use my blog Cheatershandbook as an outlet.
How can I possibly resist pulling away when so many women at the classroom door have their eyes on me? I know they’re staring.
And so I will be back at the door on Tuesday, and every possible day after that in search of my next conquest. I’m also a good dad – the type who would never skip school.
I see women with their eyes on me, I can’t deny it and I know they want it – probably you too?
