[quote=Anonymous]So someone I have been very good friends with for years (we are both in our 40's) with kids similar ages shocked me beyond belief by confessing to me the other night that she had a short term affair with a graduate student who also plays a certain sport that was instructing one of her sons. He was renting not far from them and to earn money he was coaching/teaching offering private lessons, which is how they met. She said there was a very strong mutual attraction and that it happened very suddenly and she said she felt "she had no control". He apparently has gone back home and it is over. She said she had to tell someone and I was that person. We had both had a glass of wine so she was obviously feeling a little bit more open than  she normally might.

This really really shocked me. I thought I knew her so well. She is one of those "good girls", great wife and mom, just a really good person. She is very very pretty so I can see why even a twenty something year old would fall for her, she could easily be in her 30's, is a jogger so super fit, etc.....but still. I am having the hardest time getting past it. Its so strange to be in this position. I wish she never ever told me, I hate knowing because now I feel like I don't know if I can ever look at her the same. Does that sound cold and mean? Plus we are very friendly with them as couples and its just weird now knowing this information.

Any advice, I sure could use it! We are supposed to be going to the Cape with them next month for a week and I am suddenly not feeling so excited anymore.[/quote]
