A woman may be forced
to tell her best friend she believes her husband is cheating after spotting him
on a antenatal ward with a pregnant woman.
The mum-to-be was at
the hospital for an appointment when she noticed her pal’s partner with a
“visibly pregnant young lady” and said the pair were acting like a
couple.
Shocked and with no
idea how to break the news to her friend, so took to the parenting website
Mumsnet for advice, reports the Liverpool Echo.Under the title ‘seeing friend’s
darling husband at anti natal with other woman’, she wrote: “Just returned
from my Anti natal apt. While waiting in the room I saw one of my oldest
friends DH [Dear Husband] with a young lady!!
“She was
[visibly]
pregnant. By their actions they were def a couple! They were sitting
in a far corner and it was only when I went to get a drink that I noticed them.
“They didn’t
notice me. My DF [Dear Friend] and her DH are still together. My DF moved to DH
village about 3 years ago when they met and married. He wasn’t from this
village originally. She adores him. How do I tell her? What would you do?
“I was shocked
when I saw him and I regret not speaking to him now.”
The post received over
250 comments and whilst some women said it might not look as it seems, many
others were urging her to tell her friend as soon as possible.
One Mumsnet user
replied: “You need to tell her but there is every chance she won’t believe
you. He’ll probably lie through his teeth and say you were seeing things or it
was someone else…”
Another said:
“Yes you need to speak to her ASAP. Gently ask her if they have separated
and tell her what you saw.”
And a few others
suggested confronting the husband first. One said: “You need to speak to
him. Tell him he tells his wife or you will.”
