Her Best Friend Confessed To Having An Affair With Her Husband, And They Slept Together Around 20 Times
This 37-year-old woman and her 39-year-old husband have been married for the last seven years, and they have a five-year-old son together. Her husband was married before her, and he has a nine-year-old son from that marriage.
Sadly, her 36-year-old best friend just confessed to having an affair with her husband, which ended around Christmas of 2023.
While she noticed her best friend was acting a bit distant from her, her best friend always had valid excuses for why that was.
So, while she knew her friend was being different, she never would have guessed it boiled down to her having an affair with her husband.
Throughout the time her best friend and husband were carrying on their affair, she still routinely spoke to and hung out with her best friend.
“She told me now because she has confessed to her husband, and she wanted me to hear it from her instead of him,” she explained.
“She’s filing for a legal separation from her husband, and in their long talk about their marriage and why this was happening, she confessed to the affair she had with my husband. During those conversations, I guess I made the mistake of telling her about the romantic things my husband still does for me and about how good he is in bed.”
“And that’s the truth. I thought our relationship was great. I was, and frankly still am, in love with him. I never had any sense that he wasn’t attracted to me, was interested in other people, or was cheating.”
Her best friend admitted the affair began in October of last year, and it was always purely based on sleeping together.

In the past, her best friend has expressed to her how frustrated she was with her own husband, as they discussed it multiple times.
Her best friend confided in her that she was planning on divorcing her husband because even though she loved him and thought he was wonderful, there was no romance left.
Around Halloween of last year, her best friend and husband ended up at the same party for kids, and that’s what sparked things between them.
“She felt very attracted to him and admitted she was jealous of what I had but never thought of pursuing him,” she said.
“Then, after the party, she decided to text my husband to ask for advice about her husband and their marriage. We’re all friends, and we get along, and normally, I’d never feel weird about her texting my husband for a “man’s perspective” on anything.”
“However, in this case, I believe it was just her excuse to start texting him and talking about how dissatisfied she was.”
From there, the texts between her best friend and husband got progressively steamier, and her best friend tried to show her some of them, but she couldn’t bear to look.
Then, one weekday, her best friend and husband met up for the first time to get physical. Her best friend admitted she had slept with her husband around 20 times.
Her best friend promises they both felt so guilty, and that’s why they ended the affair around Christmas.
“My husband is a really good-looking guy. He’s a people person. His job sort of puts him in the public light here where we live,” she continued.
“He’s known in our community. He’s out and about a lot because of that. It’s not strange for women to flirt with him, and I’d say he is a flirty person, but somebody who definitely knew where to draw the line.”
“Our [physical] life is great. We make time to do things together, just the two of us. We definitely laugh way more than we argue. I just never thought he’d ever do this to me and with my supposed best friend of all people.”
Currently, her husband and his son are away on a trip, and they’re coming home this evening. Her best friend pointed out that she decided it was the right time to tell her now, since her husband being away will give her time to process everything.
She hasn’t informed her husband that she knows about the affair, and she’s not sure what to do or how to act when he comes home.
She feels like everything inside of her is being wrenched out, but at the same time, she also feels pretty empty.
She has to pick up her husband and his son in four hours, and she just can’t wrap her head around her husband’s infidelity.
“I’ve thrown up twice over it already. I’m absolutely devastated and don’t know how to go on,” she continued.
“I’m contemplating not telling him that I know anything yet and try to figure out what I’m going to do first. The only problem is, I don’t know if I can pretend like I don’t know. I don’t know how I’m not going to confront him or just completely lose my [mind] when I see him.”
“If you were me, what would your next move be? How would you handle things when your husband returned home?”
