A woman sent in a message saying that she’s heartbroken after her best friend betrayed her and went back to her cheating husband.
According to the 34-year-old woman who works in Lagos, she said that her best friend is married to an abusive man who is also a chronic cheat.
The mother of two revealed that she was also dealing with a cheater husband and was tired of listening to her friend cry, beg to be respected and waste away waiting for her husband to stop cheating.
“I’m so heartbroken right now. I don’t know how to put my thoughts into words correctly but I’m so angry with my best friend. She betrayed me.
We decided to end our marriages to cheating men but she went back to her husband silently and left me alone. She allowed him insult me and did nothing about it. What did I do to deserve this kind of betrayal?
We got married at almost the same time and had plans about how to live our lives but fate played a fast one on us and we ended up with lying, cheating and manipulative men. It was so bad that I developed insomnia because of my husband’s constant lies and cheating.
Last year, I got tired of listening to my friend cry about what how husband treats her. He would call his mistresses in her presence, tell them sweet things and dare her to do her worst. He stopped her from working so she doesn’t have the money or means to leave her chronic cheating husband.
Months ago, she came crying to me that she saw messages her husband sent to different ladies on Whatsapp mocking her and stating that she was ugly. The content of those messages were hurtful.
Even though I was going through my own issues with my husband, I consoled her and told her that the only way to end her pain is to leave her husband. I didn’t see the point of both of us constantly crying over men who don’t care about us.
She protested for a while but later saw reasons with me. I assured her that we would start our lives afresh together so that these men won’t destroy us. I thought we were on the same page. I didn’t know she had other plans.
We made plans to rent an apartment together so that we can take care of ourselves and our children. She has three kids. I didn’t know that she was fooling me.
We started searching for an apartment and got one. When it was time to pay, she started dodging me. I would call but she won’t pick. I would send her messages but she won’t reply.
I decided to go to her house and there, I got the shock of my life. She was all lovey dovey with her husband and the man told me that he knows about my evil plans to take his wife away so that she can become a prostitute like me.
I watched my best friend but she didn’t bother to defend me from her husband. She sat there as he insulted me, called me unprintable names and told me to get out of their house.
I left there in tears. My heart is broken. It’s not that I couldn’t pay for the apartment I got, I just wanted to help a friend I have known for over fifteen years but she betrayed me in a terrible way.
I have moved out of my matrimonial home. I don’t have to continue dealing with my husband and his lies. My children are okay. My husband and I are in the process of getting a divorce but I am crushed by my friend’s betrayal.
How do I get over this pain and move on with my life?
