Bear with me on this one as it's all a bit Jezza Kyle.

Soon to be an ex-friend has a rather lovely DH and DCs but started an affair with a bloke she met over Facebook as she was (in her own words) bored. She offloaded onto me at that time and I wasn't impressed, but I kept my mouth shut and just stayed away from them all.

There was a big blow up about it when her DH found out. She said she loved the other man, but would stay with her DH for the children and he, it would now appear stupidly, agreed. It all seemingly went back to normal.

I ignored her as it'd all been a bit tawdry and awkward, but she called up over Xmas and asked if I'd like to go for a drink. I foolishly agreed.

Turned out that she's met another man on FB (how the fuck does this happen? I manage not to meet men on FB all the time, but I digress.) and wanted to spend the night with him, but her DH was "really paranoid" since the last affair so she couldn't get away easily, so could she say she was staying at mine.

.....BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA, erm NO.

I assumed that was the end of it, but no. When talking to a mutual friend about New Years, it turned out that said friend had still used me as an alibi. Mutual friend told her husband.

Now for the Jeremy Kyle bit - I've had a million phone calls from her DH demanding to know about the OM and a million texts from her wanting to know why I dumped her in it. Mutual friend is also in touch as they think I should've told the DH immediately.

I actually think that the whole lot of them can FTFOTFOSM.

So I throw it open. In my position would you have told the DH as soon as you knew that his wife was bonking ransoms off Facebook again or would you have done like me and just stayed away and kept schtum?

I'm slightly pissed off that I'm involved in this manufactured draaaaaaama as it is.

I've tuned the sound off on my phone and it seems to have all died down thank fuck.

I'm not going to contact or speak to anyone at all about it as the thought of inviting any opportunity whatsoever for it to kick off again gives me chills. Her DH knows that I was used as an alibi and it's up to him and her to do whatever they're going to do now.

Strangely reassured to know I'm not the only one who has had to put up with this kind of stuff. Won't be having anything more to do with it though.
