Going to try and keep this as brief as possible but theres a fair bit of background…
My friend’s husband has cheated on her (casually, its fair to say) with another married woman who lives in the same town as us. NOT sex - I believe we’re talking about a few drunken fumbles (at least one in the loo - yuck) at dinner parties ect. It’s definitely happened more than once, not sure how many times, but not more than a handful. I know this because my husband was told by a mutual friend (who heard straight from the man himself).
It’s over now. The man who messed around has allegedley expressed regret (to his mates), said it was all drunken idiocy, and sworn them to secrecy . But everyone has told at least one person and the list of people who know is slowly growing…
Would you tell your friend, knowing that it wasn’t a full blown affair? Initially I wanted to keep quiet and forget all about it, but people won’t stop talking about it now. I feel like the gossip will hurt her more than the actual act. As for the other married woman I don’t personally know her and no idea whether shes told anyone. Her marriage also looks fine from the outside.
