[quote=Anonymous]I backed away from a friendship when my friend started cheating on her spouse and was very open about it with me. I wasn't even that close to her husband, but it made me feel so gross to feel somehow complicit because I knew what she was doing. I was up front with her -- I told her that her choices were stressing me out and I couldn't support her in it, but she was an adult and could make her own choices. She was actually pretty mature about it and didn't flip out.

She wound up divorcing her husband and then later married one of the people she cheated on him with, and had a kid. We actually reconnected online a few years ago and it's been good having her back in my life a little bit. It seems like she's done a lot of growing up and she's a good mom and I feel pretty confident she'd never cheat on her current husband. I think her first marriage was just not a good marriage and they were not well suited for each other and my friend was extremely immature at the time.

I don't regret backing away back then and I don't regret rekindling our friendship. Life is long. Make the best choices you can but try to be thoughtful about it. No reason to burn bridges completely, you can just take a step back and see what happens.[/quote]
