An American man who was unfaithful to his wife has resorted to a humiliating act to win her back - wearing a sign saying "I cheated".
William Taylor was desperate to make up with his spouse Karen after she found evidence of his affair on his mobile phone.
She caught him texting "intimate pictures" to another woman.
Mr Taylor, of Centreville, Virginia, said the only way she would forgive him was if he wore the sign at a busy junction.
He agreed and stood looking suitably ashamed on the corner near Tysons Corner Mall with the large home-made sign draped around his neck.
It read: "I cheated. This is my punishment."
Unemployed Mr Taylor said his wife had wanted him to stand with it for a week.
But after a couple of hours he received a call to say his punishment was over.
He said he thought his wife was joking when she suggested the idea.
He explained: "It kind of came out in an argument. I said, 'What do I have to do to show you that I love you to death?'
"She said, 'How about you go and stand out on the street and tell everybody that you know what you are.'
"I thought she was kidding, but she was serious.
"I figured I got to do what I got to do to makes things right. So here I am."
