Secrets: Denise Welch was relieved when she found text messages from her husband's girlfriend
Denise Welch knew her marriage of 24-years to Tim Healy was over when she discovered he had been seeing someone else.
However, instead of being angry at the news, she was left feeling amused and relieved that he had found someone else.
The 54-year-old discovered text messages from Tim's secret girlfriend after going through his phone to find a contact number he needed.
She told The Mirror: 'I waited for the information to hit me, for a surge of jealousy to sweep over me, but there was nothing.'
She added: 'I was seeing someone and Tim was seeing someone; it was no longer a case of a discreet one-night stand occasionally. Was there really any point in staying together?'
Although she questioned their relationship she waited a few weeks later to speak to Tim about the messages but he denied having girlfriend.
Eventually, after a few drinks he admitted that the woman he had been seeing was called Jo and she owned a cafe.
Denise decided to text Jo and told her that she didn't mind her and Tim seeing each other but their children were the most important thing she cared about.
The following day Jo text her back and wanted to meet up to discuss the situation over a glass of wine but Denise wasn't ready to forge a friendship with her.

She told Tim what she had done and told him that he should be with Jo if she makes him happy and nurtures him.
