[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am good friends with a woman who is knowingly the "other woman" to a man who has been married with several kids for decades. She justifies her role in the affair because she didn't make any commitment to his wife, and they are having a lot of fun without anything heavy. I find this abhorrent but we have also been friends for a long time

I would not be able to do this. Not just because it would ultimately completely destroy my perception of her, but because you even say "I find this abhorrent." It's like bad energy you are letting into your life by keeping this woman and her "abhorrent" behavior close to you.

I didn't use to be the kind of person who used phrases like "bad energy" but that's changed in the last few year. I have just become so much more aware of how the people and, for lack of a better word, *vibes* around me impact my mental health, even my physical health. A friend doing what your friend is doing, without remorse, and with my full knowledge, would feel like a little bundle of lies, negativity, and hurt in that corner of my life. I would kick it out.[/quote]
