Woman Finds Out Her Best Friend Is Dating A Married Man & Decides To Inform His Wife

A woman decided to step in after learning that her best friend was having an inappropriate connection with a much older married man.

In a post on the subreddit r/TrueOffMyChest, where users may discuss personal issues without worrying about judgment or unsolicited advice, she claimed that she had just learned that her best friend of five years had been having an affair.

An angry young woman gestures and frowns at an unrecognizable friend as they argue on a city street.

The woman stated in her Reddit post that she and her friend, who are both 20, have been friends for five years. She viewed her buddy like a sister, and the two of them were very close, often sharing details of their lives with one another.

Recently, her best friend admitted that she had been having an affair with a married man who was thirty years her senior and had children and grandchildren.

“I told her to end it because she was being stupid. She knows that I don’t condone cheating. I try to keep an open mind but some things, like cheating, I do not tolerate,” she wrote.

But, her friend refused to call off the relationship, citing the fact that getting laid with the married man made her “feel good about herself” and that she shouldn’t have to deal with it if he chose to break up with his wife.

“I asked her what about his wife and she said she doesn’t care about his wife. Her words were, ‘If his wife was being a good wife then he wouldn’t be out here f-king her.’ And that just pissed me off.”

She made the decision to break the news to the man’s wife on her own since her friend wouldn’t.

She was able to find the man on social media, and from there, found his wife’s account and sent her a direct message with all of the screenshots and proof that he was having an affair.

“Then I sent [my] friend a text saying, paraphrasing here, that she is the scum of the earth and I don’t want anything to do with her. After that, I blocked her on everything,” she continued. She explained that, for her, a huge dealbreaker in her friendships is cheating, and that no matter how long she’s been friends with someone, she’ll cut them off if they cheat.

“Cheaters truly are horrible people. And they aren’t gonna get any sympathy or kindness out of me,” she concluded.

Most Reddit users agreed that she did the right thing by telling the man’s wife about the affair.

“More support from me. You did the right thing. This guy could be putting his wife’s physical health at risk ([especially] if your former friend wasn’t the only affair), and definitely put her mental health in a [bad] place,” one user wrote. “Don’t forget to take time to grieve the loss of your friendship; it’s a legit thing.”

Another user agreed, writing, “Friends look out for each other, you told her to stop and she didn’t listen, you did the right thing.”

“If I was getting cheated on I would 100% want someone to tell me. Crazy people are saying you are policing when you are just being a good human being,” a third user pointed out.

Research indicates that 35% of married men who have been married for more than 10 years had an affair at some point in their relationship.
Infidelity in marriages is a sad reality that must be faced.

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
