This woman has been close to her best friend for 25 long years. Sadly, her husband came to her several months ago and revealed that he was been having an affair with her best friend.

Luckily, it only took 4 weeks for her to divorce her husband, which is exactly what she did when she found out about him and her best friend.

The other thing she did as soon as she learned about the affair is that she went to speak to her best friend about it.

“At first, I gently confronted my best friend, and then I forgave her as I fell for her whole “I’m the victim” BS story,” she explained.

“She keeps blaming my ex and takes no responsibility, [saying], “For me, it was just about the friendship, and he took advantage of that.”

“Meanwhile, my ex told her he had feelings for her and that they should stop talking, she insisted they can still be friends. Then months later, he vocalizes again the need to stop talking, they agreed, but it was just “too hard” for them both and continued. Eventually, it got physical…on a few occasions, so yeah, so much for “all about the friendship” — I believe at first her intention was the friendship, but feelings can change.”

The weirdest part about this situation is that her best friend cannot look at her as the real victim and still believes she is the victim.

Her best friend refuses to admit that she did play a major role in the affair, and instead, she’s not taking on any blame.

Her best friend keeps saying it’s all her now ex-husband’s fault, but she knows that’s far from the truth.

On top of that, her best friend has been acting like she’s the one who somehow owes her. And, if she looks back on their friendship, her best friend has always been selfish. Her best friend has never been supportive of her at all.

She has since put serious space between her and her best friend, and she’s left feeling hurt and furious.

“I wish I never knew her so I didn’t have to grieve our sisterhood,” she said. “I wish she loved me like I always loved her. She was my sister.”

“…At this point, I forgive my ex and wish him peace since he owned up to everything and takes responsibility. My ex-BFF has not, though.”

She’s hoping that by putting some distance between her and her best friend, eventually, her best friend will realize the error of her ways and “see the consequences.”

She is currently engaged to a new man who doesn’t quite get why she never cut her best friend out of her life as soon as she found out about the affair. It honestly was too difficult for her at that time to eliminate her best friend along with her marriage.

Do you have any advice for her?
