Marriage, Betrayal, and the Best Friend: A Shocking Revelation
Our protagonist had been married for 17 years and had a best friend she considered a sister. However, after a heart-to-heart conversation with her husband, she discovered he had slept with her best friend multiple times before they got married. While her husband insists it shouldn’t matter since it happened before they tied the knot, she can’t help but feel betrayed and gaslighted, especially since they both called her ‘crazy’ for suspecting them in the past. Her best friend, on the other hand, has been apologetic and remorseful. Now, she’s left to navigate the aftermath of this revelation and decide whether to forgive, forget, or move on. Let’s dive into the top responses from the internet and see what people think about this complicated situation.
