To have made amends with her

Last year I became fairly good friends with a nursery mum. Our DCs were and still are best buddies. My DH also became friends with her. She's a single mum and by her own admission is very vain, a perfectionist and very flirty.
Anyhow discovered a series of flirty texts between my DH and her and confronted him. He said sorry, was fascinated/jealous of her lifestyle (shares custody of her DC so spent half the week as a single young woman) but said it was nothing more than messaging. He found her "fit" but nothing would ever have happened.
We moved on eventually but cut ties with her. Still saw her everyday at nursery but no longer spoke.
Now (6 months later) we're speaking, friends again on FB to share photos of our DCs at their respective parties, and I feel comfortable and I'm happy to be friends again.
AIBU? I feel like it was a serious issue my DH and I faced last year. He apologised, she's recently apologised for her part in it (she also stressed it was just silly messages, no more no less). I actually still like her. But I feel like I should hate her

Sheba, that is a ridiculous reply

You don't think much of women and put men on some sort of pedestal, don't you. Do you think they have no choice in "getting led astray" by these predatory females ? Gimme a break.

he wouldn't have shagged her, but I don't know if she would have shagged him ?????!!!! Are you mad? How does that work then - oh I know, it's all her fault. Always the woman to blame.

Thoroughly disgusting behavior from the pair of them! These are not "mistakes" that just happen, flirty texts that get out of hand come under the "not allowed" banner. Ever. Not judging you op, in the slightest because you are the victim, but blimey, your husband is a doughnut at best, and your "friend" is a horrible person.
Comments about the divorce rate being high due to lack of forgiveness are wide if the mark. Wedding rates should be alot lower. If you still want to flirtatiously text other people, remain single! Easy.
Good luck op, I hope your DH start texting women you DON'T know, cos then you might never find out.

Carabos Hmm WTF are you on about? She's not saying anything remotely like that. She's talking about two separate individuals potential behaviour. One a man, one a woman.

Jeez.

It's very disrespectful to flirt with a friends husband or partner. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who did that.

It's good that you're on speaking terms as you've got kids that are good mates with each other but I would not have her become a close friend or confide in her.

And I can't stand vain people!
