Her Best Friend Is Having An Affair With Their Married Coworker, And She Said She Doesn’t Care About This Guy’s Poor Wife
Four months ago, this 25-year-old woman decided to recommend her 25-year-old best friend, Jane, for a job at her company.
She works as a receptionist for a very high-end hotel, and her company is extremely picky when hiring people.
Although Jane had virtually zero experience, she riskily vouched for Jane. In hindsight, she wishes she never did this, but Jane always worked her heart out, and she thought it would be cool to work with her.
She trained Jane for her first month on the job, and everything came pretty naturally to Jane. Then, when training was over, they began working opposite shifts.
At this point in time, she began picking up on some strange vibes between Jane and their 35-year-old chief receptionist, John.
One evening, when she showed up for a shift, she caught John and Jane giggling together, and they seemed far too close for coworkers.
When John and Jane spotted her, they played things off way too cooly, which made her even more suspicious of their relationship.
Throughout the last several months, John and Jane have consistently been acting strange, and she did her best to pretend this couldn’t be reality.
John and his wife just welcomed a baby together, and John’s wife comes in to visit him at work four or five times each week. Frequently, she will bring their baby along with her.

Jane is present when John’s wife stops by, and she couldn’t imagine Jane would be a homewrecker.
“But the awkward tension, quick glances, and giggles just wouldn’t quit, so I brought it up two weeks ago when we were out for drinks,” she explained.
“I was floored by her response. She confessed in a playful manner almost like sharing a dirty secret. She said they couldn’t keep their hands off each other and that she had wanted to “spill the tea” but didn’t want to involve me in the “drama.”
“When I brought up his wife and their newborn child, she said she didn’t care. Apparently, John told her they had been sleeping in separate beds, and his wife stopped caring about the marriage after the pregnancy and other [nonsense] like that.”
She was so repulsed by Jane’s admission that they got into an enormous disagreement. Jane wound up storming away from her and cut her right out of her life.
Ever since then, her job has turned into a nightmare. John picks their shifts for them, and he has been purposely handing her the most awful shifts available while also preventing her and Jane from working at the same time.
She has been toying with the idea of telling John’s wife about his affair after Jane confessed, but she does not have any hard evidence.
She also has thought about telling HR and their manager, but again, the lack of proof is what has stopped her from doing so.
“I texted Jane saying, “Tell your boyfriend to stop giving me the worst shifts,” hoping for a response that could serve as evidence, but she didn’t reply,” she said.
“One week ago, someone got sick, and I had to work with the two evil [people]. Close to our lunch break, John’s wife came in to bring him lunch. She looked tired…too, and my heart broke for her.”
“Then I noticed something on John’s wrist. He had Jane’s scrunchy on his wrist (he also has long hair, but I know for a fact it’s hers). He held and kissed the baby with the. Scrunchy. On. His. Wrist. I legitimately thought I was going to throw up.”
She ended up having what she suspects was a panic attack after that. She was crying so hard that she couldn’t manage to breathe.
Her dad cheated on her mom, which caused her parents to get divorced, so what Jane is doing with John is super triggering for her.
She’s honestly losing out on sleep thinking about Jane sneaking around with John. She’s left wondering if she should anonymously send a message to John’s wife to give this poor woman a heads-up.
She does have the Instagram handle of John’s wife, so it would be easy for her to reach out that way.
What advice do you have for her?
