So after 17 years my best friend

Decided to have an affair.

This is not going to make her as happy as she thinks. Cheating on a faithful partner is asking for drama. I think that’s the problem. Life was too perfect? In her mind it was too boring?

Sigh.

Why did she have an affair?

@Northwest well last night she said she had been thinking about a divorce and wanting space and wanting to be her own person. Both she and her husband are dynamic people. And they have great minds. It’s possible she wanted to be recognized for her own successes rather than her husbands? (Yet at her core she doesn’t seem to be THAT type of person ) so I don’t know the core of it. That’s why it puzzles me. Literally they seem perfect. So there is no perfect even in something observably perfect. It’s the human condition. repel or attract. I know it’s normal what they are going thru.

@Mindful No one knows what happens behind closed doors, and some people do not want to live vicariously through their spouses' success.
