Man Gets It Hot After Wife Finds Out He Gave His Female Best Friend Money

"My wife found out from a mutual friend that I paid for the application fees and she’s livid"

Everybody has friends and coworkers of the opposite s*x, so it's critical that we learn how to handle the relationship in a healthy way, especially after marriage. If you're newly married, you've probably dedicated a significant amount of your life to "finding" the ideal woman to wed.

You need to stop using "search" mode now that you've located her. The flirtatiousness and charisma that worked so well for you when you were single are now a burden rather than an asset.

The issue OP's facing in today's story is probably already clear to you if you've been married for a while. However, as many of us forget or overlook the fundamentals as time passes, the occasional reminder might be beneficial.

Now back to the OP's story - He is a 32-year-old with a wife and daughter. The OP also mentioned that he has a best friend named Sarah and they've been friends since they were kids.

They were neighbors from age four, went to the same college, and lived together as roommates until the OP got married. OP's wife and Sarah aren’t best friends, and they have never really gotten along, but they remain cordial with each other.

Now, Sarah was having some financial constraints, and the OP decided to help her out with some money from his own personal account. His wife found out,t and now he's in a tough spot.

Let us start by saying that you are not a monk just because you are married. You don't get to live in a monastery where you can avoid interacting with women who aren't related to you.

You still have to work, live in the real world, and engage with other living, breathing people—roughly half of whom are women. Most of the comments declared OP an AH and we'd love to hear from you.
