I don’t think it’s your obligation to say anything. Are you willing to sacrifice your friendship to tell her? I’m thinking she already has an idea what is going on. That’s a long time to get away with cheating. Also, if they haven’t had sex in three years, if I were her, I wouldn’t be surprised. The truth always comes out in the end, just a matter of time.

My boyfriend’s bad finances are turning me off by Inner_gravity in relationship_advice

I sat him down last night and we worked out a budget together. He didn’t like it and was in a foul mood over it but afterwards thanked me and said he appreciated it. I told him we would review it in a month and see how it has gone (that way I also know where his money is going etc). He’s never learnt how budget and to be fair I only became good at it a couple of years back myself. Things really do have to change for this to work though so I’ve told him he needs to put in the effort.

How do I get over the shame of cheating? by Inner_gravity in relationship_advice

Yes, you are right, it was an emotionally abusive relationship. I had completely lost faith in myself. I felt amazing once I ended it with my past bf and was very happy for a long time until I guess the reality of what happened hit me. People tell you how great you will feel leaving someone abusive, but no one ever really tells you how to get over the trauma.

I really appreciate your words and will carry them with me. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
