Cheating with best friends

[CastaNettes]

Ok I recently posted a thread about my best friend flirting with my husband.
I spoke to a friend in real life only to have her confess that once upon a time she nearly slept with her husband's good friend. Now I am wondering, have I been living under a rock or is it really a thing- people cheat or nearly cheat with literally closest friends and relatives? I'm interested to hear your life stories if you have any to share, should I be very alert going forward or is this only applicable to the specific company I keep? In which case, I need to rethink my attachments to people

Don't know if it's a thing but I've had 3 serious relationships and each time I've been propositioned by either the best friend or a good friend. I don't think any of my friends fancy my husband but a couple fancied my ex. I think he would have told me if they'd come on to him though. You should be able to completely trust your partner and your friends though

I guess there is more contact with your better friends ... which could be a contributing factor??

This has never happened or even nearly happened to me. All my ex partners best friends have been very respectful of him. Or maybe I'm just ugly? 😂

No not a normal thing. I've got a wide varied circle of friends and none of them have done this.

My ex left me for a mutual friend, literally got up one day and just moved in with her. Also, my DHs ex wife kicked him out and moved his best mate straight in. It happens. It's the poor kids you have to feel sorry for really. Not exactly parents of the year to do that.

My friend's husbands are not at all attractive to me. Not in the littlest bit. I did have a roommate flirt with my boyfriend when we were at uni - he told me. Is it a power thing? A jealousy thing? It's certainly not a thing in my circle of friends, and even my kids know about the 'friends code' - you don't date your best mate's girl. Even if she's an ex girl.

I think it depends on the circles you move in and their morals/ethics. This has certainly never happened to anyone I know.

No WAY
