Most cheating stories end in tears, emotional trauma and possibly a few broken bones. However, one guy took to Facebook to share an anecdote about his possible extramarital affair that ended up being more heartwarming than heartbreaking. Jason Hewlett, an entertainer of sorts, says his sordid tale happened in the checkout line at Target.

“Kind of embarrassed to admit this,” he began, “but I think I sort of cheated on my wife today.” He went on to say he was at the store to purchase a few “manly things” like clippers and beef jerky because that’s what manly men get. The story continued:

As I went to pay I saw this woman in line that knocked me out. I thought, "Wow, some lucky guy is with her", and in a split second I realized it was my wife! You know, it was just out of context to see my spouse at the same store, in the same line, living her life and not knowing she might be at the same place, same time, different car. There was a person between us, so I just watched my cute little Love, tried to text her stuff like, "Hey Hottie" and "What are you buying now my Babelicious?", none of which got her attention as she was looking for a coupon she'd saved just for this purchase.

Hewlett says his wife rarely checks Facebook so she won’t see the post that has garnered more than 100,000 likes and 81,000 shares. That’s unfortunate because this is definitely a story worth reading.
