Working on yourself is supposed to pay off. You identify the patterns, you fight the ugly feelings until they shrink, and eventually, you feel like a better version of yourself.
But what happens when you spend your life being jealous of other women and worried about your husband’s closeness to your best friend, only to walk in on them sleeping together?
Just yesterday, this woman sadly caught her husband of seven years sleeping with her best friend, and it has broken her heart in ways she never considered possible.
She feels incredibly foolish, as she didn’t see this coming at all. Now, she has spent a good chunk of her life being super self-conscious and envious of the other women around her.
She’s put in the hard work on herself and really worked on this throughout the last couple of years.
“And I kept praising myself for all the work and not being jealous when my best friend and husband were seemingly close. Caught them in the act, and I’m all alone now,” she explained.
“No one to tell, or talk to. We have a young daughter. I want to leave, but I can’t. Truthfully, it’s been a difficult few years with my health issues.”
She and her husband are approximately $2,600 on debt. They have horrible credit and are both unemployed at the moment. She does not have the money or the means to move out of their house.
She really is not interested in making herself homeless, so she feels stuck with her husband. Additionally, she’s afraid of losing her little girl.

Where she lives, the local government does not provide you with any assistance if you intentionally go about making yourself homeless, and she has no friends or family members she can rely on.
“I’ve no money to get a flat, nothing. Can’t even afford a divorce. I’ve no choice but to stay. And it’s killing me,” she continued.
While she wishes she could make her husband move in with her best friend and leave them to figure out the mess on their own, her best friend lives with her mom and her toddler, and there’s no room for her husband in that house.
Also, her husband and her best friend stated that they’re not together and aren’t planning to be. Her husband and best friend have both told her their sides of the story, so she’s avoiding the two of them at the moment.
It’s so weird that her best friend and her husband don’t even have an interest in being with one another after what they did. Regardless, she should start looking for jobs so she can save up her money and leave.
What advice do you have for her?
