My husband recently told me that he has a crush on our older, single neighbor. We do not know her that well outside of exchanging the normal pleasantries when we see each other outside, but he says he is sexually fantasizing about her. He felt the need to tell me because he feels “guilty” for how much he has been thinking about this. We can’t just pick up and move, and he’s obviously not going to proposition this poor woman, but what the hell do I do with this information?
We’ve all been through it—a friend breakup. Romantic breakups get all the attention, all the love songs, and all the tear-jerker movies. But breaking up with a friend can really, really, really cut deep.
FROM THE CONFESSIONAL
Confession #1698746 I heard some former friends aren't doing well, I feel bad because it makes me feel so good.
#20651033 "A former friend was so smug and superior about her great marriage, how much money her H made, and how she never had to work. Yep, I chuckled when I heard he cheated and left her."
#16878484 "A former friend pisses me off. She used to be snarky about people going on vacation (since she could not afford them), and she shamed them for not dieting. Now she is on vacation and overweight. Wonder if she recognizes her hypocrisy."
