My best friend begged to stay with me after her husband left her. She was a mess, so I agreed.
My husband didn’t object.
Two weeks later, I ran into her ex. When I told him where she was, he suddenly turned pale for a brief moment, then he started to laugh and said, “Oh! So you don’t know that your husband and best friend had been having an affair behind our backs?!”
I froze. Turns out they’d been secretly seeing each other for four months, right under my nose. Her husband had found out and left her on the spot.
Now it all made sense. She hadn’t wanted a place to recover; she wanted to be closer to my husband. Needless to say, I asked her to leave and filed for divorce that very day.
Life can be harsh, but this experience taught me something powerful: even after the most painful betrayals, we’re capable of moving forward
