He Slept With His Friend’s Wife, Even Though His Friend Is Leaving Her For Another Woman
Ever since he was only eight, this 30-year-old man has been close to his friend named Mike. Their parents are great friends, and he and Mike also went to college together for a semester until Mike dropped out to pursue a different degree.
Back in college, Mike met his now-wife, Lana. He ended up getting close to Lana as a friend since Mike was with her.
Mike and Lana got married while he was in Belgium for grad school, and he was able to make it to their wedding. He says Mike and Lana always appeared like the picture-perfect couple.
A couple of months ago, he moved to the city where Mike and Lana live for a job. He honestly only took this job to be close to Mike and Lana, and they have been so helpful to him ever since he moved.
Work has been busier than he anticipated, so he hasn’t been able to spend as much time with Mike and Lana. Three weeks ago, Mike called him up to mention he’s divorcing Lana, and he was completely shocked by the news.
He had no idea that Mike and Lana were even having problems in their marriage, so he met up with Mike to talk in person.
Mike revealed that he met another woman, who actually is a coworker. He met her several times when he had lunch with Mike in his office.
Mike claims that over the last six months, his marriage with Lana has gone downhill, and after Lana’s mom passed away, that only made things worse.
He always had so much respect for Mike, but that went out the window when Mike said he was not interested in working on his marriage and instead will be leaving Lana for the new woman he likes.

He was pretty furious with Mike but chose to remain silent. Not long after their chat, Mike left the country for a work trip and this other woman tagged along too.
He’s convinced he no longer wants to be friends with Mike over how poorly he’s handling things.
“I decided to visit Lana, and she’s broken,” he explained. “Like I have never seen anyone like that. I have never had to face infidelity, luckily, and man, Hollywood always shows the consequences of infidelity in weird ways.”
“I talked with her, and she was just sobbing throughout. I comforted her, and I guess you know where this is going. She just looked up and kissed me. Now, I will be honest. She’s an attractive woman, but I have never thought of her in a romantic way, as she was always Mike’s GF or wife.”
At first, he hesitated, as he knew this would only look bad, and also Lana clearly wasn’t in a great place emotionally.
Lana insisted on hooking up, so he finally just went with the flow. A day later, Lana’s mood seemed to have improved.
This all happened a week ago, and Lana has since been spending evenings at his house just to chitchat.
After the hookup, he has been seeing Lana in a different light. He admits hooking up with her was hardly a great choice, but he doesn’t feel bad about it.
Mike has attempted to call him twice, but he keeps ignoring him. As for Lana, she’s not speaking to Mike, as her lawyer told her not to really contact him, and her lawyer has advised that she doesn’t have to be present in person for the divorce to proceed since it is mutually agreed upon.
“Lana’s given up on the relationship but is still heartbroken over the betrayal,” he said. “She wants to move and start fresh.”
Lana is excellent at her job, so it will be very easy for her to find a new job in a different city, but she’s afraid to be alone.
Two days ago, he received a job offer on the opposite side of the country in a very chic city that is 1,000 miles from his current location.
He’s been considering asking Lana to make the move with him, as she could use a blank slate.
“Now, IDK how she feels about me, but I was thinking of just asking her to move, just as a friend, so that she won’t be all alone,” he concluded.
