ugh. What's wrong with people???

I'm really sorry for you because if you are even somewhat close to them, it affects you as well. So sorry

Christine · Coach

How awful.

My mother had an affair for years and I found out about it when I was 12; my little brother was 6 but he didn't know. She always told us & my dad that she was working late, etc, but it was all a lie....she moved out for a couple of years to live with her new bf, then wanted to come back. My dad accepted her back, but she started having an affair again when I was 16 and my brother was 10. By this age, he was aware enough to figure it out.....my parents finally got a divorce about 3 years ago.

It ripped my family apart; I am so thankful for my dad who has always been there for us.

I am so sorry for your husband's best friend. Do you know the wife well? Does her husband know about it?

Omg!! That's terrible! It's always so much more shocking when it's people we're closed to ya know? I guess it's because we think we know them...

Hang in there - your hubby's friend is going to need y'all's support.

Claudia · Gucci

Wow, that's awful. Stuff like that just angers me especially if they have children. It can affect them in a terrible way if they find out. It's so unfair for them. How sad. :(

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

that's terrible, i'm so sorry to hear that. I cannot comprehend how people can be so devastatingly selfish.

bex · Chanel

oh i am so sorry!

my BF's broher is constantly cheating on his wife and it makes me so sad and upset. they have 2 children as well. it is def. hard for me to keep my mouth shut around him sometimes.

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

I know I am the voice of dissent here...but having been the spouse who was cheated on...I would want to know.

everyone deserves the truth

everyone deserves the chance to make their decisions based on the truth

hello? STD's anyone?

could be affecting them financially also

jj · Kate Spade

Sigh...thanks for your support guys. Christine, you poor thing, what a horrible situation to go through! Yes, he knows. They moved from DC to a very small town and her sister heard about it from someone else. She said if she didn't tell him, she would.

I guess my point is, even if things hit rock bottom with my husband, I don't think having an affair solves anything and it's the worst cop out possible.

Sunshinegirl · Kate Spade

Wow,

I often wonder if i could be strong enough to forgive my husband if he cheated on me. I know people make mistakes but it would be so hard. I consider myself to be very spiritual person and forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself and others but knowing my husband could be physically intimate with another woman, it would be hard to find such clarity to forgive.

Leah, I'm sorry for the pain you've endured. I'm sure you try to figure out what lessons you are supposed to learn from this.
