Let us take the friendship into a more mature level. It’s not all about girl bonding, shopping, gossiping or cooking together. It is between two married women who happened to be friends for more than a decade. How their marriage affects their friendship which involves honesty, compassion and solicitude.
They’ve been through a lot. They’ve shared everything, never kept any secrets. Even the bits and pieces of their married life were shredded between conversations. Only one thing is for sure, their husbands weren’t alike. The two men are far different from each other. Their attitude and principles are like summer and winter, clean and messy and black and white.
She’s lucky she has the summer, the clean and the white.
Until the time came that she found out something that she knew that it might be the cause of the downfall of her friend’s marriage. She found out that her friend’s husband is cheating on her, not one, not twice…with different women from time to time and is easily done because of the nature of his work. The fish was caught from his own mouth in the middle of a drinking session with some other men in the neighborhood.
The friend has already had an idea because it is done before but believed that he has changed.
It gave her long sleepless nights thinking of ways on how to tell it to her friend without affecting the friendship no matter how their marriage would end up, or thinking if she’s gonna tell it or keep it a secret until her friend would discover it herself.
Weighing things out, she decided to ask herself. “If I were in her shoe, I would rather hear it from a trusted friend than from the mouth of the so called “gossip girl in town”.
But the question is, does she has the courage to spit it out just as like as their normal conversations? Does she has the strength to see her friend’s marriage shatter in front of her very eyes?
She’s weak. She said “no.”
She’s not strong enough to witness the heartbreak of someone so dear to her.
What she did was, she input a lot of warnings, precautions, whatever you may call it, into their usual conversation just to impose vigilance on her friend’s part. She’s leaving it on her to decide if she’s gonna be dumb for the rest of her life or make the move, be smarter, be more alert, be strong and fight.
She know she did the right thing. Because if she said everything to her friend without any evidence, there’s a big possibility that the husband would strongly deny the accusation as it is the mantra of men. (Well, almost!)
Besides, somebody told her that it is the best not to invade a marriage for the decision would always end up between the two of them.
Unfortunately, her friend found out something, the husband is so good in denying it (until now), and the wife has decided to keep silent about it. Sad.
I hope I sent the message right.
