How do I handle a week-long visit with a friend who's cheating on her husband?
I could NOT sit by & let a good friend of mine be made a complete fool by his wife. It's going to come out at some point in time, why should your friend suffer any longer needlessly? I would not be able to even put a "civil" act on in front of them knowing all you do know but not saying anything. I don't know if you should have a talk w/the husband & just tell him how much you care about him & that you feel something is very wrong & that it shows to you his friend. Just let him know you know him too well & you can feel there's a problem. See if you can get him to open up to you. You can even tell him you have a very good idea of just what it is, & you're there for him for support in any way you can. IF your "friend" brakes up her marriage, you're very well liable to loose her friendship in the long run anyway. She's the one who is disrespecting her husband, her marriage. She's the one who is causing all the hurt. She's the one who deserves to have the truth be known. I just could NOT be around them & not say anything at all. If it does cost you your friendship, do you honestly want a "friend" who is deceiving & disrespecting her family? She doesn't even care about her son & his feelings at this time when you think about it. She is disregarding her children just to be able to cheat on her husband. If she was any kind of a decent person, she'd tell her husband to at least take a brake in their marriage, that she's having problems & needs to remove herself from her family for awhile to be able to get her mind settled & get her life in order. But no, she's choosing to hurt not only her husband but her children also. To me, this is not a good loving caring mother. Not even taking her own children into consideration. She deserves a good wake up call. A time to be honest, a time to show some respect for her own family. I'm sorry, but someone who cheats does not deserve respect. She is not giving respect, why should she deserve respect! I'm a firm believer in that things do happen for a reason. This just might be the reason for your visit w/them. Myself, I just could not play a game of charades, not w/peoples happiness at stake. Do what you feel your heart tells you to do. As I said, I feel if things go on as they are, one way or another, you're going to loose your friend. Either by having her go w/her "new found love" or having her hurt her family & having them suffer from it all. This whole thing is just going to ruin your visit one way or another regardless. If you are there at the time, at least you'll be there for her husband & children who just may welcome the fact you're w/them for the support you know they're going to need. No one should have to be forced to accept the unacceptable, & that's just what her husband is being forced into doing. At least make it easier on them for their sakes. Do in your heart what you feel is the rite thing to do. Honesty is the best policy & it's time to end this game playing w/others hearts & lives. I DO wish you the best, & just feel you'll know the rite thing to do...:)
