To think my friend could have waited.

My friend has been having marriage problems for many years, her husband has suffered with ill health which has made him depressed and difficult to live with, friend often posts stuff about him on Facebook which some of us find very sad and disrespectful to him, as he was a lovely man.

Anyway she's decided to leave him and posted this on Facebook saying 'shes done her best but she believes her husband has mental health problems which need sorting' we were Hmm very unfair as her husband isn't on facebook so has no idea what she's putting. She also tagged her new fella in the post saying he's been her saviour since Autumn.

This morning she posted a selfie of herself and new fella saying ",my one true love" now surely out of respect to her husband she shouldn't have posted this and secondly if she's only been with him a few months it's too early to be saying he's her 'true love'

She's 56 and quite needy on Facebook, always after attention.
Aibu to think she could have waited for a few months before posting a selfie of her and new fella if only in respect of her husband who she's been married to for over 25 years.

You don’t know how much she has been wronged. It is bad taste to be so open in Facebook, but it may be the poor woman is, like many domestic abuse victims, trying to convince the unconvinced that her “charming” man was a monster and she was not at fault. Now, having all her laundry out in Facebook is definitively a mistake.

@Doggyperson

Is this a Reverse? You seem to know a LOT about this 'friend?' And her husband. Hmm

Or, are you just a nosey interfering article, who prods and pokes around in other peoples business, when it's NOTHING to do with you? Wink

If it's the latter, then keep your sticky beak and your beady eyes out of other peoples lives. Unfollow/unfriend and stay out of her life. The last thing she needs is a frenemy like you.

Lots of people thought my ex dh of 20 years was a lovely man. In reality he was physically abusive to both myself and our children.
You have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.

As others have said, you have no idea what their marriage is like. This isn't really your business. I think people should stick to friends only for Facebook.

Well. In OPs defence. The woman lost the right to call it a private matter when she Jeremy Kyled it all over social media.

1Morewineplease · 29/12/2019 23:02

Just block her. It’s really none of your business despite how callous she’s been.

pemberleypearl · 29/12/2019 23:03

You said her husband doesn't have Facebook so he's not seeing her picture is he? I know that's not the point but still...

Too little detail to go on. We don't know her ex husband and if he was nice, and don't know her or the new guy. But the chances of her new relationship lasting or even being good are slim considering she keeps bragging on FB and calling him her true love after such a short time. He isn't. He's a rebound.
