离婚一年后,我最好的朋友嫁给了我的前夫
Marisa had been married to Ben for nearly 10 years when they both decided to go their separate ways. The split was amicable and the couple remained friends but what happened when Marisa's best friend let her know she was developing feelings for her ex? The marriage was great in the beginning but we were one of those couples that grew apart as time went on. We spent a lot of time with friends, rarely did anything as a couple and when I lost my job and was unemployed for five months I realized Ben wasn't being emotionally supportive. I felt like his love for me had really changed and he no longer loved me as a wife but more as a friend. To tell the truth, I started feeling less for him, although I still cared about him a lot. We tried marriage counseling and after five sessions we had 'the talk' where we both decided there was no point moving forward and we should go our separate ways. It was very amicable and it was really just a great sense of sadness. Our friends and family were more upset than we were. But that's because, to anybody else, we looked like we were a perfect couple. My best friend Jenny was the only one that wasn't shocked as I'd confided in her many times that I wasn't happy and that Ben wasn't happy either. But to the rest of our family and other friends, they had no idea that our marriage was mostly quite lonely. So the split was pretty smooth and I was proud to say that Ben and I were still friends, which I know is a big cliché but it was really true for us. We still chatted on the phone every other day and caught up for drinks or dinner every now and then. Then I started dating and met my boyfriend Matt. Out of courtesy I let Ben know I was seeing someone and he was a bit funny that I'd met someone so quickly, but apart from that, he seemed fine about it. |
