I was watching a movie on TV this weekend, and the husband was contemplating having an affair... when he mentioned it to his best friend, the friend told him he was a fool... that he had a great wife, was a very lucky man, and that he would be ruining the best thing that ever happened to him!!!

Are there actually guys out there like that?

My Xs best friend was his confident, knew all that was going on, lied to my face, and sure... he called him lucky... when he saw a pic of OW, he siad "woof, woof, she is beautifaul, you lucky bastard!!!"

Well peer pressure is pretty hard to deal with. I think most friends would say that simply because they don't want to risk saying the unpopular thing. I wish my ex would have shown pictures of his lovers to his friends, his "lovers" were men!

I had a friend of mine who was contemplating having a relationship with a co-worker of ours. I told him almost those exact words. He actually listened to me and reevaluated his life and what he would be giving up. They are still together and they seem to be happier than ever. Sometimes all it takes is someone else to give you a little perspective on your life.

ALL of my ex's close friends told him that he was crazy. They found out what was going on after I did. He got support from them..but not the support that he wanted..validating his choices. He lost his best friend over this.

His friends are great guys. All of them came over to the house. Thanked me for all of great meals and good times. Asked me if I needed anything done around the house. They still offer.

There are some really great men in the world.

I have said that to a few of my friends...it didnt do any good, they cheated anyway..I think they were actually looking for someone to approve of what they were doing.

My X told his married frineds that we had an "open marriage", otherwise non of thier wives would have accepted OW...

He never said anybody expressed any concern for me, or what it would do to our family or d if I were to find out (which I ultimately did).

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
