She Ran Off with the Best Man
A dear friend of mine was in a bad marriage. They had a son together. I knew she wasn't happy and I was very proud of her when she threw him out. Immediately after they seperated a rumor started that she had dumped her husband to run off with his best friend (the best man at their wedding). We talk via text and e-mail often and I knew that she and the "best man" had become friends. They were each going through divorces. Over the past few months she has said very little to me about the best man. Even when asked she dodges the question or says that there is nothing to talk about. I am certain however, that they have become more than friends.
She is an amazing woman. I never imagined such a person could exist. She is very dear to me. I care about her and her son deeply. I imagine I am like a big brother.
We usually talk daily. This week she has not said a word to me. I found out through a mutual friend that she and the best man had just gotten engaged. Here is my dilema. She is dear to me and she and her son deserve nothing but the very best. I want to be happy for her. Although I know very little about this guy, I am concerned that she cannot be alone and has found him because it was easier for her to get out of a bad marriage when she had someone to go to. Her ex-husband was barely out the door when the best man came onto the scene. I think she is on of those girls who is in love with being in a relationship and not necessarily the guy. Her marriage has only been over a few months. She is an amazing person; she deserves the very best. I am concerned that she is selling herself short.
Am I wrong to be so concerned for her? What do I do? Regardless I'll continue to be her friend and will always be here for her and her son. I care for her and want to see her happy. But it has only been a few months since she divorced and is now marrying her ex-husbands former best friend. This really bothers me and I don;t know what to do.
Thanks for your input.
