Life seemed so ideal for Catherine McGhee.
She was expecting a much longed-for third
baby to the childhood sweetheart husband she
had been with 21 years.


And her soulmate and best friend since she
was six years old, Lynne Hogan, lived just
across the road.


But her cosy existence in their quiet,
surburban street was to be suddenly and
devastatingly smashed to pieces.

Because her taxi driver hubby John McLachlan
suddenly walked out of her life saying he no
longer loved her.

The shock and distress was so overwhelming
that she suffered a miscarriage .

But when she turned to Lynne for comfort, her
mate split from her own husband, moved John
into her home – and is now expecting his
baby next month.

Distraught Catherine, 37, sobbed: “I’ve lost the
two most important people in my life. It’s like
a bereavement. What’s worse is they live so
close.

“When John left, I felt so lucky to have Lynne.
I spent hours crying on her shoulder.

"But when I saw John’s car parked outside
her house, I felt sick to my stomach.

Everything suddenly made perfect sense.”
Catherine, mum to John’s children, Jade, 21,
and Aidan, 11, says she looked through his old
phone bills and found 53 calls and hundreds of
texts to jobless Lynne’s number, dating from
months before their split.

But she was met with silence when she tried
to confront the pair, both also 37.

The couple have said they will only
communicate with her through lawyers.

Catherine said: “I should have seen the signs.
John became really protective over his phone.
He even took it to the toilet.

“Every time Lynne came round to see me, she
would talk to John all night – but I thought it
was totally innocent.”

Her betrayal was shattering for trusting
Catherine.

The best pals shared almost their whole
childhood and both met John when all three
started secondary school.

Catherine and John got together when they
were 14 and, a year later, she unexpectedly
fell pregnant with daughter Jade.

No-one expected the two teenagers to stay
together.

“But against the odds, we did,” said Catherine.
“Having a baby so young was a struggle. We
had our ups and downs, but we managed to
muddle through.

“I knew I could always turn to Lynne whenever
I was having a bad day.

"Ironically, John wasn’t her biggest fan then.

He didn’t think she could be trusted and said
she was sneaky, but she was like a sister to
me.”

In 2004, Catherine gave birth to Aidan only to
suffer severe post-natal depression.

“Without John and Lynne, I don’t think I’d have
got through it,” she said.

“John did such a great job of looking after the
children and Lynne phoned constantly to
check I was OK.”

In 2007, the couple got married after John
proposed during a romantic holiday in Ibiza.
In the seven years that followed, they saw
neighbour Lynne – by then also married –
regularly. And Catherine assumed John was
blissfully happy.

But everything changed like a bolt from the
blue one day in February 2014.
“He just said his feelings had changed,” said
Catherine, who is unable to work because of
depression.

“I couldn’t understand it. I was hysterical. My
mum literally had to pick me up off the floor.

"I couldn’t eat or sleep. A few days later, I
found out I was pregnant with the third child
we’d both wanted so much.

“I was so stressed that I miscarried. Lynne
was amazing, though. She came round every
night and we ranted about how badly John
had treated me.”

But after a few weeks, Lynne began ignoring
Catherine’s texts and calls. “I was hurt,”
Catherine said.

“I went round to her house but she made it
clear I wasn’t welcome. I was really confused.
“Then I heard from another neighbour she was
having marriage problems of her own so I
assumed she was preoccupied.”

But when Catherine spied John’s car outside
Lynne’s home everything suddenly fell into
place.

“I hoped he might just be dropping something
off,” she said. “But hours passed and the car
didn’t move. I felt like I’d been punched in the
stomach.

“I sank to my knees, crying. I phoned John
and demanded to know what was going on
and he told me they were just friends.

"But, weeks later, a friend told me John had
taken Lynne on holiday to Blackpool with him
“I then found out that Lynne’s husband Mark
had moved out of their house and John had
moved in. I struggled to hold it together.

“It wasn’t long before Lynne was pregnant. It
felt like they were rubbing salt in the wound,
as they’d both known how much I wanted
another baby.”

Lynne’s baby is due next month and now John
and Catherine are in the middle of a bitter
divorce wrangle.

“It sounds silly, but I really miss them both,”
said Catherine, of Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire.
“Sometimes, I roll over in bed and reach to
cuddle John before I realise he’s not there.

"And I often go to dial Lynne’s number and
then I remember we’re not friends any more.
It kills me.

“I’m not sure how I’ll react when their baby
arrives and I see them pushing their pram
along the street. I feel physically sick at the
thought.”

When we contacted John he said: “My ex wife
is alcohol dependent and depressive.

"I had been separated from Catherine due to
her alcohol behaviour. I’ve got an ongoing
legal thing with her just now.

Catherine hit back: “I knew that was coming.
I’m not an alcoholic .”

Lynne said: “John didn’t walk out. He was
thrown out. We weren’t having a relationship.

We started having a relationship in June.

“She came to my house a few times after her
and John had split up. I was unwell with
diabetes and told her I had enough going on in
my own life.”
