Do My Friends Care About My Husband Cheating?
During your infidelity crisis, you’ll truly discover who your friends are… and aren’t. We’ve already covered the 5 frenemies to watch out for. Here are 4 superpals guaranteed to keep you centered and motivated with more than text messages and occasional phone calls. Keep these ladies close to your heart and on speed dial – and be sure to thank them as soon as the storm subsides.
Busy Betty
Betty’s gift is that she’s great at always being busy. Don’t underestimate the power of her busybody personality; she’ll keep you occupied as well. Every time you feel yourself getting depressed over your husband’s affair, Betty’s “spidey senses” will tingle and she’ll swoop in like a thief in the night to rescue you with any number of activities; bartending, spinning, speed dating – even Comic-Con isn’t off-limits with this energetic chica. The reason she’s so great: She reminds you that life is totally fun and awesome -and so are you!
Experienced Elizabeth
Elizabeth’s a great friend because she’s been where you currently are, and knows exactly what to expect from you. While it sucks that she’s been cheated on, she’ll understand your random breakdowns and occasionally foul moods in a way nobody else will. She won’t judge you for your behavior, and will take the necessary pains to remind you how life was before your cheating man came into your life. She’ll also take the time to remind you of how good life can be if you choose to divorce him as well.
Level-Headed Lisa
Lisa’s always got her head on straight. The epitome of the words “cool, calm and collected,” Lisa’s rational personality is utterly soothing to your erratic life. When you’re ready to jump off a bridge, Lisa’s the one you call to talk you down. While she’s on the phone with you, she’ll slyly text Elizabeth to meet you at the bottom with a caramel macchiato in hand. Lisa’s the one who reminds you that you’re too damn awesome to give up or give in to the chaos of this temporary problem.
Straight-to-the-Chase Sara
Sara’s blunt, and pulls no punches. Sara’s low tolerance for B.S. is not always the most refreshing way to have things put into perspective, but at the same time, you need her to set you straight when you’re really tripping. When you’re making irrational plans to bust the windows out his car a la Jasmine Sullivan, missing work without a good reason and have been making a habit of drinking an entire bottle of merlot before 10 every morning, Sara’s the “bitch” that will set you straight. Again, you may not like her delivery all the time, but you definitely need her before you do something you’ll regret later on.
