Divorce Is On Her Mind After Her Husband Admitted He’s Crushing On One Of Their Female Friends And She Feels The Same Way About Him

This 30-year-old woman has a 32-year-old husband who currently is a stay-at-home dad to their two young children.
Her husband watches their one-year-old every day and then their four-year-old when he gets home from school.
Around six months ago, her husband met another stay-at-home dad close to his age who also happens to have a one-year-old, and they hang out constantly now.
“I was very grateful for their relationship because my husband seemed lost as a SAH dad at first,” she explained.
After her husband forged this friendship, their families began spending a ton of time together, and so she knows this man’s wife and child well now, too.
A week ago, she felt like something had shifted in a way. Her husband went out with this other stay-at-home dad’s wife one evening last week.
She didn’t think it was a problem for the two of them to be alone, especially since they had rough upbringings and really bonded over that shared detail.
“My husband doesn’t have a lot of friends, and I was honestly just excited that he had someone other than me to talk to,” she said.
“But today, I told him I felt like he was not telling me something, and he said he did have something to tell me. We went on a drive and he said that he’s developed feelings for this woman.”

Her husband and this woman spoke about their mutual feelings the night they went out together, and since then, they have been talking about it over text.
She questioned her husband about how he started falling for this woman, and he just stated it was pretty natural.
She then asked to see the messages between her husband and this woman, but he refused to let her see, which really irritated her.
Her husband reassured her that nothing happened between him and this other woman aside from them both talking about their feelings.
“Here’s where I stand; I am not naive and I know people develop feelings for people all the time,” she said.
“It would be unnatural not to, and I don’t think he’s wrong for having them. However, I don’t like that they discussed it before discussing it with me and the woman’s husband.”
She’s additionally upset about her husband and this other woman keeping their conversation about feelings a secret for days on end without her being filled in.
Since her husband and this other woman have a shared crush, she thinks it might be worth leaving her husband.
It’s not that easy for her to decide what to do about her marriage, especially since her husband promised he doesn’t want to have a life that doesn’t include her in it.
This is hardly the first time she and her husband have found themselves in a situation of this nature, and she believes it’s unfair to her to stay married to a man who doesn’t only have eyes for her.
“We do not have an open relationship, and we pride ourselves on our honesty with each other, and this felt a little late,” she added.
“Also, I do not fully trust this woman. She has confided in me a lot about the issues between her and her husband, and I worry she’s using this as a way to prove a point. She also is very traumatized and likes drama (her words), so I fear she can be a bit toxic.”
Her husband is a wonderful father, and they do have little kids, so that’s making her hesitate to move ahead with a divorce at this moment.
