She Exposed Her Best Friend For Having An Affair And Another Man’s Child One Week Before Her Friend’s Wedding, Causing The Nuptials To Get Called Off
This woman has known her best friend Emily, who is 28, ever since they were just kids. And over the years, they’ve gone through everything together.
Emily also recently got engaged to her 30-year-old fiancé, Mark, but Emily and Mark already had a 2-year-old son together. Or so she thought.
Just one week before Emily and Mark’s wedding was supposed to take place, she found herself in a very sticky situation – because she found out that Mark might not actually be the father of Emily’s child.
It all began about one month ago when Emily got drunk and confessed that Jack wasn’t actually Mark’s biological son. Rather, she found out that Emily had been having a short “fling” with another guy around the time she got pregnant. Then, her best friend decided to keep everything a secret – leading Mark to believe he was the father.
“I was shocked, but I didn’t know what to do with this information. It ate at me every day,” she recalled.
Later, just one week before her best friend’s wedding, she realized that she couldn’t keep Emily’s secret any longer.
“I felt that Mark deserved to know the truth before making such a huge commitment,” she said.
So, she wound up meeting Mark in private and exposing her best friend’s affair. Obviously, he was heartbroken, and he ultimately confronted Emily. This caused their whole engagement to implode, too. The wedding was called off, and Emily and Mark are no longer together.
As for her friendship, Emily is livid with her. She was accused of lying about the affair just to sabotage her best friend’s happiness. Plus, Emily even tried to claim that she was in love with Mark and just wanted to drive a wedge between them!

“This couldn’t be further from the truth,” she admitted, “But now, our friendship is in shambles.”
In the wake of this whole mess, their mutual friends took sides. Some of them even agree with Emily and think she should’ve just minded her own business.
This has left her feeling really torn because she genuinely thought telling Mark the truth was the right thing to do. Nonetheless, everyone’s reactions have made her question herself.
“Did I overstep? Should I have kept Emily’s secret and let them get married?” she asked.
Do you think Mark deserved to know the truth? Or should she have left the situation alone? What would you have done?
