Her Friend Is In Love With A Married Man, But She Finds It Disgusting And Cannot Support The Affair
This woman has a 24-year-old friend who started seeing a married man a few months ago, and she doesn’t approve of her friend’s affair whatsoever.
For some context, the guy is 28-years-old, has been married for a few years, and already has two kids with his wife.
Despite that, her friend began hanging out and hooking up with the guy anyway, and things were more casual in the beginning. At the time, her friend even acknowledged how messed up the situation was and supposedly felt a bit guilty about it.
Yet, her friend’s affair continued, and the nature of the relationship changed. Her friend and the guy suddenly began going out on dates and doing “couple” things together.
And just two weeks ago, her friend approached her and revealed that they were officially dating.
“My friend says that she’s so in love with him and that she’s so happy, but everyone else’s negativity about the situation is making it hard for her to be excited,” she detailed.
That’s why her friend asked for her honest opinion, and she didn’t hold back. She bluntly admitted that she’d never be able to take her friend’s “relationship” seriously since the guy was married.
Plus, she pointed out how her friend was basically asking to get hurt and referred to all the classic sayings about affairs. For instance, “If he’s doing it to her, he’ll do it to you eventually,” and “The ‘he said he’s gonna leave his wife for me’ trope is a tale as old as time.”
She even stated that perhaps everyone’s negativity about the relationship is their way of giving her friend a dose of reality. Finally, she urged her friend to think back to when she was cheated on and reminded her friend how she had nothing nice to say about the other women.

“So now, what makes her any different from them?” she asked.
“I am so disgusted with her. I don’t even want to hear about it anymore because I genuinely cannot believe that not only is she accepting this, but justifying her actions and his.”
Whenever her friend tries to talk about the guy, whether it’s something funny he said or a cute thing they did together, she always changes the topic. Or she will make some snarky remarks, asking what the guy’s curfew is or mentioning how he got to get away from his wife and kids for an evening.
She simply cannot entertain the affair anymore, and she has no clue how her friend expects everyone to blatantly ignore the elephant in the room when the guy is brought up in conversation.
“I can’t even keep a straight face hearing my friend say ‘my boyfriend’ when she talks about him. It’s like nails on a chalkboard,” she vented.
She feels like this may be the last straw in their friendship, too, which has apparently been rocky for a while.
Still, she can’t help but wonder if being unable to support her friend’s “relationship” with the married guy is really so crazy or not.
Would you want to listen to your friend talk about their affair? Do you think she should distance herself from her friend after this?
