What have I done?

One of my friends cried about how she was being mistreated, abused and neglected by her husband. This happened few years ago and I encouraged her to get a divorce. I feel bad now for telling her what to do because I found out she was only after his money and she was finding reasons to leave. She married him only after knowing him for 3 months, they have 18 years gap, and he is a wealthy man. But he is also very careful about his spending and doesn't give her much cash since she has a career. So my friend felt cheated and she pushed his buttons till he got mad and then she only recorded the part of him being abusive to strengthen the case. I didn't know this back then and now I feel guilty.

Long story short, she is enjoying the allowances (court's order) and actively hunting for men. Now that her life is sorted, she is being that stuck up B that I've known in school 🙍🏻‍♀️

In cases like this it's important to remember the legal maxim - [i]audi alteram partem[/i].

@Sharon Yea, that is true. But it is hard when it comes to situations like this. I am not close with the guy and never met him before. She showed me all the texts, pictures and recordings without sound. I was concerned about her safety. This lady is just something else...

That would have immediately made me suspicious. I've met women like your "friend". I've overheard others discussing how to fit a man up for some supposed slight. In fact, I've seen that behaviour so often that I take any allegation like that with a large pinch of salt.

@Sharon It was recordings from CCTV. She played her cards so well, it's
disgusting. But definitely an eye opener for me. I should have listened to my husband and stay out of it. She married him for money and now divorcing for money. And sadly, the law supports women like her 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully you won't be so gullible next time. That's not a criticism of you. I can almost guarantee there will be a next time because that type of behaviour is so prevalent.

@Sharon As a human it is normal, especially when a friend comes crying etc. I thought I am already a half robot with me being expressionless to BS. and now this 😂
