Jason Hewlett's post about 'sort of' cheating on his wife is unexpectedly sweet

A man in the US thought he was checking out a complete stranger - before realising she was actually his wife.

Comedian Jason Hewlett, from Utah, posted a status on Facebook explaining that he initially felt bad about his feelings of attraction for the woman. 

“Kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I think I sort of cheated on my wife today. To explain what I mean 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 realised it was my wife!"

 

He added that he didn’t realise she would be at the store at the same time as him as she had taken a different car.

Mr Hewlett continued, writing an unexpectedly sweet post about how much he loves his wife.

“I was ultimately so pleased to see her in complete confidence on this day, as the independent, capable, humble, fun, sweet, kind, awesome person she is. And then she grabbed her things and walked out the door. I never said anything, didn't flag her down, just watched her walk away, admiringly, knowing she's my wife and I love everything about this woman.”

The status went viral, with over 320,000 likes and more than 210,000 shares.
