Okay Christine...You asked for it!}(
Several years and a few jobs ago a new girl came to work for the company I was with at the time. She sat right across from me so naturally we got to talking. We hit it off, became fast friends and started hanging out as a foursome with our bf's (she was engaged at the time to my now DH) and also just us gals.
At some point during our friendship she became involved with a guy we worked with-an affair. She chose to confide in me about it and didn't want me to tell ANYONE including my own BF yet she wanted me to hang out with her and this new man. It was tough for me but being the true kind of friend that I am, I did it. This went on for a while...
Eventually her fiancee (my DH) became suspicious. One day he called me up out of the blue (he never called me, he had no reason to) and asked me if she was at or on her way to my house. She had never said a word to me about coming over so I was honest and told him no. He thanked me and hung up the phone. He never had concrete evidence but had enough to convince him she was up to no good. Eventually he broke up with her because of it.
I was there to help her pick up the pieces. She immediately began dating the guy she was having an affair with exclusively. They actually got married, had a kid and got divorced since then but that's a whole other topic! LOL So anyway, amidst all of this, my BF was becoming increasingly suspicious as well. After they broke up he finally got out of me what had been going on. Thank goodness he didn't fault me for what I was doing which was just trying to be a good friend even when being put in a very uncomfortable position.
As time went on my relationship with the girl became very stressed due to what she had put me through. I ended up leaving my job and severed all ties with her. My relationship with my bf ended too though it had nothing to do with what had happened....
Fast forward about a year later....I was hanging out with my ex bf as we were still friends after breaking up. My ex bf was also hanging with DH since they had become friendly prior. I ended up hanging out with DH and my ex bf and his new gf a few times over the course of several months until one day my ex bf decided that it would be cool to set me and DH up cause we seemed to get along so well. We both agreed and as you said "the rest is history".....
My DH never had any hard feelings against me for keeping his fiancee's affair a secret from him. She was my friend before he was my friend and I was keeping in confidence what she told me as a friend but when he called and asked me a question point blank I was honest w/him and he really appreciated that. I never felt any kind of allegience to my former-friend to not date her X as she was just that, a FORMER FRIEND, and her and DH did not talk anymore as he could not stand her.
Sortid, ey? LOL I hope I didn't confuse you too much!
