I have a lovely friend who I’ve known for a couple of years now. We met because our DC are friends. I’m single, she’s married. I’ve always got on with her husband just fine, but mostly my friend and I do stuff together with the DC without him. On the occasions when he’s joined us it’s been good too. He’s pleasant enough company and is very kind towards my DC.
Last night our DC were having a sleepover. I had a few glasses of wine with my friend. Her husband was out with a couple of his mates. It got late and she suggested I stay over too. They have a spare room and I’ve stopped over before.
Friend’s husband came home and joined us for a couple of drinks. By this time DC were asleep. The three of us were chatting, having a really entertaining conversation, laughing. It was a really nice evening. Then my friend went to make up the spare bed. I offered to help but she declined. And while she was gone the husband got hold of my hand and started stroking my thigh. I moved away and asked him what the hell he was doing. At which point he said he wanted to kiss me.
We were a bit tipsy and I was so shocked that at the time I think I put it down to that. I sort of laughed and moved completely away from him by standing up and walking across the room. I told him not to be so daft and said he’d definitely had too much to drink and that I’d make some tea.
My friend came back while I was making the tea. We drank it. The conversation was normal and then I went to bed in the spare room.
Woke up before they did this morning but DC were already awake so I left a thank you note and we left.
Friend and I have exchanged a few texts today, normal chatty stuff, but I feel so appalled and upset and worried about what happened. I don’t know what to do. Ignore it completely? Tell friend? Either way I feel like this will end our friendship and that makes me sad. Also, so sad for my friend that her husband behaved like this.
