Hi Everyone,
I swear my life could be a soap opera! If you have kept up with my thread for a while you will recall a few months ago that one of my dear friends left her husband for another man. This was in early July. The couple reconciled and she moved back in about 6 weeeks later. Friday I get a phone call from my friend's sister saying that she had left her husband Friday saying she wants to be with OM and wants a divorce. I was just at their house on Labor Day for a cook out and thought everything was going fine.

This is my friend who has supported me during my crisis. She was furious at my husband for having an affair. She thought they were both low-lifes, She listened to me, called me, got me out of the house, was just a wonderful friend in general. She saw how devastated I was and what it did to my kids. Now I can't believe she is the WAS! Her husband teeters on being furious and hating her, to not feeling like he can go on, her adult children are furious with her, her parents are both heartbroken and cry all the time, her sister calls me on the phone sobbing.

Honestly, I never thought my friend could be capable of doing something so destructive to her family. They say that the affair partner is addictive to them. I forgot to mention this man has nothing. You would not believe the "shack" he lives in. It is a old camper that has a room built on the front! It looks like he just found any scrap lumber he could get ahold of. She and her husband have a nice house, pool, a business, and nice vehicles. I know money does not buy happiness, but I think financial security is important.

I guess what I'm trying to convey is you just never know who has that " adultery defect" in them that will cause them to cheat. So don't beat yourself up thinking if only I had done this and that. Unfortunately, I think adultery can spin it's ugly web on anyone.
