Ideally, I wish they would both throw the guy to the curb! He doesn't deserve even one second of their time. BUT, thats my opinion and I'm not married to him, nor do I have any emotion for him, well other than anger and disgust... Whether "barb" wants to fix her marriage or not is up to her. But I feel she needs all of the information to make that decision. But I also feel it's not really my place since I don't even know Barb. So that's where I'm torn. How much in the dark is Barb about this situation? If she still doesn't know, she NEEDS to be told NOW. Stranger or not. I doubt the marriage is fixable at this point. But I would also hate to see Joe and Sandy both get away with what they're doing, nothing to answer or atone for. Absolutely shameless and vile. It makes sense. It seems that this is at least to me getting clearer and clearer. Look at all of the posts so far. More than a few are interested in this thread. So I'm gonna guess based on what you told me about Barb that you probably don't have her number, and probably not Joe's either, unless your friend Sandy gave it to you. Therefore you are left with confronting your friend Sandy that she ought to be ashamed, and if her friendship with you means anything to you, drop this guy now and burn the bridge behind her. Dust his azz. That seems the only way to me at this point. |

I planned on being done with this thread. But, Jill's right It had gotten so confusing that I thought it was the friend (Sandy) husband (Joe)that was cheating on the friend (sandy) with (Barb). Which would had been different than the original story. Also was under the impression from the OP that Jill knew Barb. Otherwise how would she known where to contacted her. So, I'm coming back to say because of all the confusion that I was wrong & to apologize for the misunderstanding. Now, I'm gone. |

Simple: Mind Your Own Business!!! No good ever comes from putting your nose where it doesn't belong. ok put it this way then. if you were in a relationship and you never knew the guy you were in love with married and you find out from a close friend that had warned you about him for quit sometime. would you tell her the same thing and continue with the relationship knowing he wouldnt leave his wife and keep stringing you along Let's bring this out a little, into the future. Let's just say that Sandy(friend) now knows about the marriage of Joe with Barbara(wife), doesn't give a damn, keeps boinking the guy, the marriage ends in divorce and Joe and Sandy live guilt-free in a remorseless sham of a relationship, and now wife(Barb) is left out to the coyotes in a horrible divorce. Would you honestly still be friends with Sandy? How could you possibly say yes? |

I hate drama. I just want to wash my hands of this and be done with it. I'm disappointed that my friend "Sandy" has let it go this far. But those are her decisions she has to live with. I just hope that he will leave her alone now. Let her move on with her life.

oops. I'm stoned and read it wrong. My bad..... No, you didn't read it wrong. The OP posted one thing then now the whole entire story is totally opposite. Just as I figured it'd be. Now, I'm going to go mind my own business & leave this thread before I get in trouble. |

All I can say is I would want to be told. Do you think she is really that stupid not to see the signs?....... |

I'm sorry I got so confused Jill, maybe if I had some fake names to use, I would have followed the story better. Again, I am sorry, I really was trying to help you with some advice. |

So...where do we draw the line of getting involved with other peoples business when we don't even know them? Complete strangers to us, only we dislike their ex which we know something about through someone we care about? She will find out, probally already knows, maybe married him thinking he was going to settle in with her. You don't know any of her story. It's really not your place to interfere with people you don't know. Not even a acquaintance. To get at him, to hurt him by getting another hurt (his wife) is not good business. Women are not stupid, even your friend knew but continued. |

Simple: Mind Your Own Business!!! No good ever comes from putting your nose where it doesn't belong. That person would cease being my friend and I would consider them a back-stabbing co-conspirator to the cheating party. End of friendship, even if it was 22 years. Buh-bye! You wouldn't if you told her, but you would if you didn't tell her(and you knew). That is what I meant. Sorry about the confusion. Then, let me get this straight, your "friend" is the concubine that married man Joe is having an affair with. It seems that your friend knows all about this, the marriage and all. I would tell the wife first and then tell your friend she needs to drop him like a sack of mud or risk jeopardizing your friendship with her, the fact that she's doing this seems to show me that she is very capable of betrayal and deceit, something you probably don't want in a friendship. I know I wouldn't. |

It doesn't matter. Friends come and go. Good friends have your back. I guess I'm different than most folks. I prefer to stay out of other peoples affairs. Guess I'm meddling now by even posting. So, OP do whatever you want. You asked I replied. Take my advice or leave it. Up to you. Jill, I am dead serious. Take it from someone like me who has been cheated on bad in a former serious relationship. You would be wise to tell your friend, she should know the truth if she's had the wool pulled over her eyes. It's not fair or right to keep this information from her. |

I would want a friend to tell me if something was going on behind my back. Isn't that part of being a friend? Friends are supposed to look out for one another. JMO......... Consider yourself wildly in love with a woman. Then think of me as your best friend. We've been through it all together & have been friends for years. Maybe even grew up together. If I came & told you she was cheating, etc. Who are you going to believe? Me or your "honey"? Nine chances out of ten you'd think after all we'd been through that I was in love with you & was just jealous of your GF. Now, give it some real though before answering. Now, in her situation most likely the friend will think the OP wants to steal her man. After a big argument & terrible things said. Their friendship may never be the same again. I think the GF needs to find out for herself & the OP needs to remain silent. JMHO It doesn't matter. Friends come and go. Good friends have your back. |
