Sir,

I would like to hear from older readers, aged 70-plus, who found true love outside their marriage, for a Channel 4 history documentary.

During the first half of the century, many married hastily and soon discovered they had nothing in common with their partner. To escape from the loneliness of an unhappy marriage, some were drawn into secret affairs, and a few lucky ones found the love of their life.

However, this was an era of narrow sexual attitudes when it was difficult or impossible to get a divorce. As a result, the lovers had to suffer much heartache and humiliation before they could be together.

If you found love outside marriage in your younger days, please write to me.
