Re: It's not my business, but... sosad05: I agree with Smiley.
On the same token, if she's your best friend, you should be able to let you know how you feel (in a gentle way) and to watch what she says because you have some issues with being sympathetic of her. I would think she would recognize that her xh is in the same boat as you. I'm sure she's seen the misery and sadness, you've had to experience.
It doesnt seem fair does it. It seems like so many cheaters get to have their cake and eat it to.
Re: It's not my business, but... yella: She's justifying it because she feels guilty, and she's young... at 24. Barely getting to know life.
It's sad.
Re: It's not my business, but... Fjord Girl: Since I have been dealing with the painful and slow dying of my marriage because the divorce will be final soon, I have been very quiet, not to mention sad. Yesterday morning I was getting my stuff ready for work and she asked "What's wrong? You're not talking much this morning." -- My immediate thought answer was "You know what's wrong, stop asking stupid questions, but what do you care, you Miss I have a wonderful relationship with the man I cheated on my husband with." -- But of course, again, I said nothing. Seeing her every day is like a reminder of what I went through and some ugly feelings are building up inside me.
I suppose at some point I will have to tell her to leave the relationship/divorce talk out of our day to day interaction.
Re: It's not my business, but... yella: I think if she values your friendship, she'll understand and keep this talk out.
