She’s Furious With Her Husband For Secretly Sending His Female Friend $20,000

Five years ago, this 29-year-old woman got married to her 31-year-old husband. Now, for the entire time she has known her husband, he has had a female friend, and she never had an issue with this.
She didn’t feel like it was her place to tell her husband who he could or couldn’t be friends with, so she remained unbothered by his closeness with this other woman.
Her husband’s friend has a pretty steamy job in the fitness space and constantly posts photos of herself that are over the top.
“Anyway, her studio she worked at went up for sale, and she reached out to my husband for money to buy it from the current owner,” she explained.
“My husband mentioned this to me and that it would be $7,000. I told him it wasn’t a good idea, and he didn’t say anything else. The following night, it got brought up again, and I held my position on it.”
A month later, her husband’s female friend questioned her about what she should name her new studio.
She instantly went to ask her husband if he had sent his friend $7,000 despite her specifically telling him not to.
He responded that he didn’t send his friend $7,000; he sent her $20,000 instead and pulled the money out of their joint bank account, which she never checks up on.
Her husband claimed it would be a tax write-off. She was furious when she found this all out, and then she demanded that her husband’s friend reveal if he’s on the business license.

Her husband’s friend mentioned she didn’t include her husband’s name on that, so it can’t possibly be a tax write-off then.
Her husband’s friend picked up on how angry she was, and she offered to send back $15,000 to make things better.
“I can’t understand why my husband is sending $20k to another female without ever mentioning it to me, and I’ve been furious ever since,” she added.
“Now, I have trust issues. I’ve never checked his phone, but I did tonight. The girl messaged that she “wishes I had never found out,” “she filed for the LLC,” and “she thought she’d have that extra $15k cushion, and she’s upset now,” and all this with the undertone of I’ve ruined her plan.”
Her husband did not attempt to step in and defend her, which only makes her feel worse about it all.
