And my friend is allowing this all to happen which really upsets me.
I guess I felt like if I was "barb" I would want to be told. But I can't seem to justify contacting her and stirring up all these problems. I feel like I would be causing even more drama and problems to an already bad situation. I just feel guilty for "barb". For all I know right now, she's innocent in this... but maybe she's not. I just don't know. I do believe that all cheaters will eventually get caught. Maybe I should wait it out and let him get caught up on his own.

It's highly likely that bostid Joe will do just that. A "plan B" or an insurance plan, in case it all goes wrong for him. Gee, how delightful, what a freaking standup guy that Joe is! She's caught in this love triangle until you can get her out of it, and you gotta do it soon before it's too late.flowerforyou

You go to the wife…she kicks him out…your friend is going to take him back.( By the way, she is not without guilt.)

Can you not see the writing on the wall here?

“He has nowhere else to go” “he still cares about me” “I still care about him”…

She was ok with him living there and she justified it by repeating his lies, “sleeps on the couch” yeah right! She knew, she just decided to put up with it in the hopes that he would leave his wife. Your friend just found this out, but she still has some contact with him so that tells me she is still attached. He will go to her because he knows this and she will now be able to say he left his wife. So she will take him back. Then he will work on getting you (the one who told on him and the one person who could ruin this relationship as well) out of his way. The cycle of revenge will just keep going until you have lost your friend. After all is said and done, she will side with the man she is sleeping with over you…

I absolutly agree my friend has plenty of fault here, and LOTS of denial to justify her actions. I have never agreed with this whole situation with her from day one. But she's my friend since we were in the 3rd grade and I love her. I love her enough to tell her when she's wrong, just like she would do to me.

My "hope" was if the wife threw him out over this, he would be to mad at "sandy" to even try to go back to her. But, who knows... such a messed up situation.


It is clear that you love your friend and are having trouble with the entire situation, otherwise you would not have posted this. But, as I said before, your involvement ends with her. Therefore your actions should end there as well.

The best you can do is help her move forward and rid herself of this nightmare.

Let karma deal with this loser, as I am sure she will not be the last woman he seeks outside of his marriage.

my exhusband cheated on me when we were together. didn't know for sure till we were separated for different reasons. course after i left him, i heard all these stories bout him with other girls. IF i had heard these stories while we were together, i probably would have denied it even tho they rang true to what i was thinking. i would have left him a lot sooner. i say tell the wife.

I will add my voice to those who suggest staying out of it.
Rarely does anything good come out of trying to "stick it"
to another human being. There are all sorts of unforseeable
and potentially very harmful consequences.

As an extreme case - the guy could turn out to be psychotic
take a bunch of drugs and come gunning for you with real guns
and with his wife's enthusiastic assistance - and with his
family in the back of a pickup truck. It could affect you and
your friend and your family.

In another scenario, the wife is unstable and gets depressed
and harms herself.

There are other people who might be affected such as kids.

I will end with a quote:

"One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say."

- Will Durant

there's such a large scenario of things that can happen. I think she will eventually find out. But I'm starting to feel that it shouldn't come from me. I'm just to uninformed about her side of the situation.

yes because i suspected that he was cheating. when i would ask him about the details of where he had been he always accused me of cheating. which i wasn't. if someone told me that they had saw him or their friend had been with him, i wouldnt have wanted to believe it even tho i knew it was true. only because it meant that my husband who said that he wants only me, was lying. its hell to find out that the one you are commited too is a b@stard.

I agree. I have found that most of the time, when my partner is quick to accuse me of cheating, he is the one cheating with a guilty conscience. People in general tend to think other people are doing the same things they do. You were being faithful and believed your husband was too. You would ask him a question without accusing him and it was him that accused you because he was indeed cheating. Then you feel bad for even doubting him in the first place and just try to convince him you're not cheating. It takes the focus off of him and onto you. It's a classic tactic of manipulation.

in hindsight, i realize that he was (and still is) a manipulator. at the time i was too in love either with him or maybe the idea of being in love, to this day i'm not sure which. still, having been in the position of the 'wife' i say tell her. at some level, she knows that her husband isnt being faithful. i'm curious as to why they did get married after living together for so long.

OK guys, I need some advice on what to do here and what better place than here? :wink: So here's some of the background... Sorry this is a bit long... ohwell

My long time friend has been dating this guy on and off for about 3 years. In this time I could plainly see he's lied to her, strung her along, plain out BS her, and she fell for it hook line and sinker every time. She drives me nuts! frustrated but that's a whole different story. I have hated this man all 3 of these years.
He's been living with his "baby mama" but keeps telling my friend "it's just so he can see his kids. I just sleep on the couch, I can't stand her" And all those other lies. He does his late night visits to my friend's house and of course goes back home. Keeps stringing her along how he loves her, and she just needs to wait it out for the right time when he can leave her, etc etc etc. And again, she falls for it. He would give her a date that he's moving out of his "baby mamas" house and then of course, that date would come and go and there's always another excuse. This has been going on for years. He would even go as far as to when she would FINALLY start talking to another guy, he would make her feel guilty because she's supposed to love him. She promised to wait for him. He would guilt her into getting rid of any new guy that came along in all this. All the while, he's the cheating no good rotten scoundral :angry:
Now, I agree she's stupid for falling for it. No one is disputing that. She even has finally realized how stupid she is when it comes to him.
But apparently he was just at her house last week, for his little late night visits. And then she finds out yesterday that he actually married his "baby mama" over a month ago, which of course he was never sleeping with and he can't stand her... frustrated OMG I hate this man! mad
Why bother getting married if you can't even stay faithful for your first month? He had NO INTENTIONS on staying faithful to his wife, and lord only knows what lies he's been telling to her to get her to marry him.
I feel so bad for his wife and kids as well. So, like I said, I'm not asking about my friend, I already know she needs help and has her own issues to deal with.
My question is... His wife is on another "social networking site". I was thinking about contacting her and telling her what's been going on. I don't really want to but in but I feel she has the right to know what her husband and father of her children is out doing while she's at work... supporting the family. Because of course, he doesn't work. :angry:
I think he deserves to be thrown out on his AZZ and not have a chance with either one of them! Whether she leaves him or not is up to her, but I think she deserves to know all of the information so she can make her own decisions.
Sooo... thanks for reading my long rant! Should I take it upon myself to contact his wife???

On one hand I understand where you are coming from. His apparent wife has been with him three years to and they have children together. I just would not be the one to tell her.
1- The children and family unit are apparently happy right now. Even though you dislike this man immensely, and believe me saying leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but is it fair to destroy the children at this time if it is over?
2- The honesty that every relationship derserves needs to be considered as well as the fact that she may not believe you herself. This could lead to many things that you may not know about this woman. Like her finding out it was your friend and striking out at her. People have reacted badly in less severe emotional breakdowns as cheating.
I guess what I am trying to say, is, whatever your decision make sure you consider all the consequences and not just what may happen to this man.

This situation is a pile of S**T, and it will only stink worse, and cover everyone involved if it is poked with a stick. I would just leave it alone.
