I guarantee had it been a woman finding a condom wrapper in his wallet, the advice would not have been to let it go. Blew in the window at the tollbooth??? Because there are so many people a) having sex in the tollbooth b) having sex in their car at the tollbooth ????

That's a huge lie, plain and simple. Her bad skills as a liar should not get her off the hook.

Prudie gave HORRIBLE advice. To the guy that wrote in this letter... if you want peace of mind, hire a p.i. DO NOT LET THIS GO - for your own happiness and future bro. If she's been cheating on you, don't hesitate to dump her ass.

It might be hard on the kids, but they have to learn that some people who they have trusted with break their trust and that they should stand up for themselves when that happens. Don't accept anything less than the same treatment you would give the other person.

I agree completely.

"Blew in through the window"? That's the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. It really seems that prudence is biased towards women. In another episode where a woman is in a similar situation, she effectively says "kick that guy in the nuts".

This is crap, don't listen to her.

Plain and simple the wife cheated and she appears more upset that she was caught then what she did divorce her ASAP

This is a true story--

My significant other, a man I adored at the time and although we didn't live together, we spent a great deal of time together, was walking through my bedroom. I was about ten feet away occupied with something. He bent over, saying "What is this?". I said "I don't know, what is it?" "A condom." "A what?" "A condom. Why is there a condom on your bedroom floor?" (Note: We didn't use condoms--it was a long term monogamous relationship.) "That's weird, why would there be a condom on my floor?" We peered at the offending object together. It was a condom.

I was a Neilson television rating "family" at the time, and the Neilson guy had been there that day, in my bedroom, rehooking up my bedroom television. I watched him most of the time, and he spent a lot of time squatting on the floor.

I know the condom wasn't my condom. I really don't think it was my SO's condom. Seems as though he would have just picked it up off the floor and not said anything instead of asking me what it was. I wouldn't have noticed because I was doing something. I had no other inkling that he was unfaithful.

We decided the Neilson guy must have left it, either accidentally or just to be a troublemaker. Years later, we still talked about finding a condom on my bedroom floor.

It's not quite as colorful a story as the condom flying in through the window while the wife was at the toll booth, but it seems almost equally implausable.

Yeah Prudence should at least make clear what she is actually saying here.

Only a complete idiot (or someone in love with two kids) would even consider trying to believe the tollbooth thing.

And so she seems to be suggesting that this guy should ignore his wife's infidelity. That may be sound advice (I happen to think it is terrible advice... but hey) but she should make it explicit.
