Back when she was 15, this 26-year-old woman started dating her husband, who is the same age as her, so they’ve been together for quite a long time.
She loves her husband more than anything or anyone else, and she honestly can’t picture her life without her husband by her side.
But then he did something that has left her questioning everything, and she doesn’t feel like jumping to a divorce is a good option.
Her husband has forever been a flirty guy, ever since they were back in high school. He maintains that he doesn’t notice he’s being flirty with women in the moment, and it’s never his intention to show interest in another girl.
However, many women over the years have taken her husband’s flirtatious behavior the wrong way.
“But he has always assured me that he doesn’t mean to and that he loves me and would never do that to me,” she explained.
“This has caused a slight insecurity in me, but he was always so loving with me, and I trusted him.”
Several days ago, her husband went out with several of his friends to a bar. She was feeling under the weather, so she went to bed early while he left to have a good time.
The following morning, her husband abruptly woke her up, admitting he had something to tell her about last night.

Her husband had a lot to drink and kissed their 25-year-old female friend, Jenny. Her husband says it was only a kiss, and he and Jenny were flooded with regret instantly as soon as their lips parted ways.
“He doesn’t know why he did it,” she said. “I was crying throughout this entire conversation, and he just said he was sorry, but it was only a kiss and didn’t mean anything.”
“Now I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to divorce him. Our lives have become so intertwined that divorce would be like separating two worlds.”
“I mean, we have a house together. We were planning on kids in a few months. Our families all love each other, and we had the perfect marriage before this.”
She asked her husband to take a few days to herself to think about the kiss. He has since left their home to go stay with his sister.
She’s more confused than ever. She adores her husband and can’t picture walking away over one kiss, but the fact that he kissed Jenny is so painful to her.
She has since reached out to Jenny, who offered up an apology, and they’re going to meet up to discuss the details of what went down at the bar.
What advice do you have for her? Do you think the kiss is excusable, or should she reconsider having kids with her husband and moving ahead with their life together?
