[quote=Anonymous]My friend had an affair BUT it was with a single man and she and her husband had no kids. I wouldn't say I condoned it, but I was also able to let it go. This situation is different and I'd have a harder time with it.

I guess you need to decide whether you can support your friend in other aspects of her life and not this one or whether you just need to let her know that this is too big of a hurdle to get over. Honestly, having to listen to her talk about the guy or even complain when he doesn't spend enough time with her, etc. would probably drive me crazy to the point that I'd say I can't be friends with her while she's engaging in this relationship or dealing with the aftermath of it.

I do have a friend whose husband is a jerk and an alcoholic and I've been able to support her through leaving him, getting back with him, getting pregnant, having an abortion, leaving him, and then getting back together with him (they are together now and have had a second kid). I dislike him intensely and I think she'd be much better off without him but it's not my call so I am just there to support her and whatever decisions she makes because it's her life to live and not mine. But an affair is different to me.[/quote]
