Really need some input...

Post by observer1 »

I have a bit of a predicament. The husband of one of my best friends hit on me about a week ago. Then, he flirted with me again, the other night. Another friend of mine thinks he'd take it further, if I allowed him to... which I DEFINITELY WON'T! He's put me in a bit of a spot. I love my friend & would do anything for her. But I don't want to cause problems between the 2 of them by telling her about this. Besides, I'm afraid she wouldn't trust having me around when he's there. He frequently goes away on business trips. Who knows what he's doing then?? This woman is beautiful &, in my opinion, he's very lucky to have her. They also have a 7 year old son.

Last night, she & I went Christmas shopping. He called her & said he wanted to go shopping around 9. So she had to hurry & cut her shopping short for him. When she dropped me off, I told her I have a hunch about something. I said I was going to go to the local hang-out & see if he showed up. I met my other friend there. Sure enough, he came in! I texted his wife & let her know he was there. She let him have it with both barrels!

I hate being stuck in the middle of this situation & I also hate being right.

I wish I had had a friend like you when my husband was cheating on me. Everyone knew but me, and wouldn't tell me, till I confronted them on it. So I think it's a good thing that you were honest with your friend about your hunch.

YOU wont be causing any problems. The problems are already being caused by the husband. If I were in your friend's situation, I would definitely want to be told. In fact, I wouldn't forgive a friend who knew and said nothing to me.

If I was your friend id want to know and would thank you for having the balls to tell me face to face...Much worse thinking that everyone has been talking about it behind your back even if its sympathising, just isnt right.

Well done you:-6

Well Well Well - sounds like the guy is spreading his C'mas Cheer..!

Observer - your not the 1st hustle and you won't be the last hustle.

By this guy trying to hustle his Wife's Friend, shows his Ego..

Tell your friend - at the right time, you'll know the right time. She needs to hear the Hustling from you & anyother confirmed info you may have..

Good Luck

Don't say anything to your friend, instead tell your wife's husband that you do not appreciate his comments, actions or whatever you feel is inappropriate behavior on his part. Set him straight and tell him that if he persists, then you will tell his wife. Don't rock the boat at this point by telling your friend. What he does or you think he does with others, I would stay out of and not get involved. His wife probably already knows he's screwing around, and if not, she will know soon.

I have to agree with lon here. I was once in the posistion that I knew my friends hubby was having an affair,I was going to say something to him.Before I got the chance she asked me if I knew anything,I could not lie to her so told her the truth.I would have prefered if I could have warned him that I knew first, and he would maybe have ended it. They did get through it and we are still good friends over thirty years on.
