His Married Friend Tried To Sleep With Him While He Was Helping Her Fix Up Her House
This 40-year-old man and his 35-year-old wife are quite close with another couple around their ages.
Their kids are in the same grade at school and participate in different activities together, so they originally met through their kids.
Over the last several years, they have basically become best friends with this couple. They go out to dinner a lot together and even celebrate birthdays together.
“My wife is very close with her [the wife of the couple], and I’m very close with the husband. Heck, may as well be family,” he explained.
“Recently he and I have been working on fixing up their first house. They are in the process of selling because they bought a bigger house. I was there doing some demo in the kitchen.”
He was underneath the sink, disconnecting some lines, and his female friend dropped by to see what he was doing, which wasn’t weird to him.
It was just the two of them alone in the house, and he didn’t think that would be problematic. His friend wandered off to go about her business, and a couple of minutes afterward, someone grabbed both of his shoulders from behind.
He figured it was his friend’s husband trying to scare him, as they are always joking around with one another.
He turned around, and he was shocked to see his friend standing there without any clothes on. He completely froze, and then she grabbed him and said she knew he liked what he saw.

He took her hand and pushed her away and asked her what the heck she was doing. She instantly took offense and said there was no way he didn’t want her.
He was so furious he left the house and went out to the porch to attempt to gather his thoughts regarding what had just happened.
“She comes out a few minutes later, thankfully fully dressed,” he said. “She half apologizes as she’s basically blaming me, saying, more or less, you can’t tell me you haven’t thought about it.”
“Yes. Yes, I can. We have NEVER been more than platonic friends, and I’ve never so much as looked at you as anything but a friend.”
“I tell her in no uncertain times that’s not happening now or ever. And she gets very defensive and starts crying.”
He told her to get herself together but that he was leaving the house right then and there. He’s left wondering how on earth he’s going to tell his wife and his friend’s husband, who is also his best friend.
He’s also unsure of how to navigate this because he’s convinced his friend is going to somehow blame him and make him out to be the bad guy.
The trust he had in her is gone forever, which also means it will be tough for him and his wife to maintain a friendship moving forward with this couple.
“I get the feeling she’s not about to tell her husband what happened, and I feel like he deserves to hear it directly from me, and clearly, my wife needs to know what happened,” he concluded.
What advice do you have for him?
