When it comes to surgery support, who would you choose – your spouse or your best friend? One woman chose the latter and it has caused some tension in her marriage. Despite her husband’s lack of affection, she asked her touchy-feely best friend to support her during her surgery. When her husband found out, he was hurt and accused her of being cruel. While her parents supported her decision, her friends had mixed reactions. Some said it was a selfish move while others praised her for choosing the person who would provide her with the most comfort. This has sparked a debate about whether spouses or friends make better support systems during times of need. In the end, it’s up to the individual to decide who they want by their side. But as this woman has discovered, it’s important to communicate your decision and reasoning with your loved ones to avoid hurt feelings and misunderstandings.
