Hello,
Am a regular poster but have changed my name 'just in case' to protect the person concerned ....
My best friend's total to$$er of a husband left her recently. She is a beautiful, wonderful person, very genuine and warm and I have known her forever. EVERYONE who knows her loves her apart from the aforementioned husband who never deserved her in the first place.
Anyway, as you can imagine she is in a sad and lonely place right now (two children under 4) and is working hard to get through this and I am very proud of her.
But recently she has been asking me lots of questions about a couple of her exes (guys who adored her years and years ago ... one was a school sweetheart ... and were heartbroken when she ended it with them ... both were long standing relationships (not at the same time obviously ... lol) ... ) and what they are up to. As I am still in touch with them both she has asked me to give her their email addresses.
I am reluctant to do this for a couple of reasons
A) ... both guys are now married
B) ... both wives of said guys 'know' of my best friend and how much their husbands loved her years ago ... I wouldn't want to upset them by giving best friend their details IYSWIM
C) ... best friend is clearly clutching at her past and has lost confidence and I don't think this would get her confidence back.
She isn't the type of woman to steal other women's blokes (I would trust her implicitly with my husband ... no doubt about that) and I don't think that she is thinking of trying anything on with them ... she just seems to be 'clutching' IYSWIM?
What would you do in this situation and why?
Help!
PS ... might not be able to reply to answers straight away so please don't think I am being rude if I go silent ...
All answers appreciated!
