She Found Out Her Best Friend Is Cheating On Her Boyfriend With A Married Guy From The Gym And Since She Lives With Them She’s Seriously Caught In The Middle
A young woman just found out that her 30-year-old best friend Erika is cheating on her 33-year-old boyfriend Matt that she’s been with for 2.5 years.
She lives with her best friend Erika and her best friend’s boyfriend Matt, so she’s kind of caught up in the middle of all this.
She and Erika have been best friends for 20 years now, and Erika is a real highlight in her life. Erika knows her better than anyone, and she’s basically her soul mate.
They moved in together right after high school, and they’ve been through so much together, Erika always grounds her, and the relationship that they have is truly special.
8 months ago, Matt moved into their place since he and Erika were getting really serious, and living together was a natural next step.
3 months after Matt moved in with them, Erika began talking about some guy she met at the gym that she was attracted to; Jake.
She never thought that Erika would do anything with Jake, but boy, was she wrong. Erika ended up cheating on Matt with this random guy from the gym, Jake.
Jake is 40; married and has a kid with his wife. Not only that; he has several kids from other relationships.
Erika then revealed to her that she and Jake had gone to some hotels and slept together.

“They began texting nonstop,” she said. “Like, it was insane. You could barely hold a conversation with her, she was glued to her phone.”
“Flash forward to today and she says she is head over heels in love with Jake and he loves her and it’s “unlike anything she’s ever felt” and she wants to spend the rest of her life with him etc.”
As soon as Matt falls asleep, Erika calls up Jake and speaks to him every single night. When Matt is not home, Erika rushes out to meet up with Jake.
Somehow, Matt and Jake’s wife have no idea what’s really going on.
“She has a sweater of Jakes that she sneakily wears when Matt’s not home. It’s ridiculous,” she continued.
She’s surprised that Matt really has no clue what Erika is up to, and the worst part is…he’s a great guy.
He’s wonderful to Erika and she has also gotten close to him since they all live together. Matt even comes over to her family’s house every Sunday for dinner.
It’s making her sick to her stomach how Erika lies to Matt and manipulates him. It’s also making her so upset to know that Erika can be so awful, and it’s causing a lot of stress on their relationship.
“Erika is, for the most part, unapologetic, saying she does feel bad but justifies it by saying she didn’t mean for this to happen,” she explained.
“I brought up how selfish she is being and she was again unapologetic, saying she does feel bad sometimes, just not bad enough to actually change anything.”
“She says that she thinks “it’s ok to be selfish”. Basically, she is saying she is so in love with Jake that she doesn’t regret or feel too bad about what she’s going because it makes her feel so good. Here’s the kicker.”
“Jake doesn’t want any more kids. Erika has always wanted kids and a family more than anything. So even if he did leave his wife and she broke up with Jake – it’s just never going to work between them.”
Erika is only dating Matt for his money; he pays most of their rent. Erika told her that she no longer has any feelings for Matt, but she pretends to be to his face.
She’s beyond angry with Erika for doing this to Matt and she thinks Jake is a terrible person. She has told Erika that, and she can’t believe that Erika is continuing on with Jake.
Sometimes, she thinks about telling Jake’s wife or Matt about the affair, and obviously being caught in the middle has made things messy for her.
She’s sick and tired of everything and currently wondering what to do because she thinks she cannot win no matter what.
