I (28F) have been with my husband (27M) for six years, married for four years, and we have two kids (3F, almost 1F). Everything in our relationship is perfect for us. He’s the best husband and father to our kids that I could have asked for. I am absolutely in love with him and his actions and words have always shown me that he feels the same way. There’s no better feeling than going to sleep in his arms every night.

Last weekend, my husband and I had some friends over and we were having a barbecue. We were all outside in the backyard, surrounding my husband who was on the grill. As the food got closer to being ready to eat, we all started sitting at our backyard table. Once the food was all ready and at the table, my husband went inside to use the washroom and get another case of beer. I didn’t realize that my best friend (28F) had followed him. When he was coming back out, my best friend hid behind the wall separating our kitchen and living room and surprised him by pulling him and forcing a kiss. My husband immediately pushed her back and yelled wtf. She immediately started crying and ran out of the house and left. My husband came back into the backyard and asked to speak to me privately and immediately told me what had just happened. I was shocked and told him that it would be okay and that we could talk after everyone else left. I managed to put on appearances for the next couple of hours but I was mentally distraught.

After everyone left, my husband sat me down and told me what happened and showed me the footage from our living room camera. It was exactly as my husband has described it. My best friend of 10 years, the person who I treated as my literal sister, forcibly kissed my husband. After the third date with my husband, she was the one I told that I was going to marry him. She knows how much I love him and how strong our relationship is and still she chose to try to come in the middle. For fuck’s sake, our 3 year old calls her “Aunty”.

My best friend tried showing up the next day “just to talk” and my husband had to hold me back from beating the shit out of her and he kicked her out and told her to not come back. It’s been almost a week now and I’m nowhere close to moving on. I don’t blame my husband one bit. He’s completely innocent in this and if anything, he’s the victim. I’ve been lying down on my husband’s chest and just crying every day and night. I’m so angry and frustrated and don’t know what to do. My husband has been amazing and like always, he just gets it and understands how I’m feeling. He brought me flowers almost every day and cooked my favorite meals multiple times in the last few days. I love and appreciate him all the more for it. I just don’t know how I’m going to move on and trust any of my friends again after this.
