I really need a candid advice on this issue. I love my hubby so much. We've been married close to 7yrs now with 4 children, and I know he has had an extra marital affair early year of our marriage, which ended. I don't know of the in betweens But recently, early this month, I found out he was having an affair with my close friend, a married woman, a fellow church member who really looks up to me. This really crushed me. Even though it was a brief affair from what I gathered from their chats, am tempted to believe that it was my hubby who caused it. (But for a picture I saw where two of them kissed.He took a selfie of it just imagine). He invited her to his office, when no one was around, and one thing led to the other. She was really accusing him in the chat that she never bargained for it and she feels guilty, having offended God, and her husband. but what I could not understand is why this had to happen with someone I know, someone this close to me. I didn't confront my hubby cos I was just pained and crying within. That very night while he was asleep, I started praying right there on the bed, asking God for strenght to overcome, mercy on his behalf, and to separate whatever soul tie may have now been created between them, and to sha separate them completely. I never knew he woke up and was listening to my prayers, which I was doing quietly. The moment I finished he grabbed my hands and started shaking, cos he heard me mention the lady's name. He couldn't believe I found out what happened just once, 2 days to that day. He started asking for forgiveness that he did not know what got into him....That maybe he had been infatuated over her for too long whenever he sees her in church and all. I was just quiet throughout. Still in shock. He informed the lady the next day that I found out and she was really shattered , blaming him. She called me several times, I refused to pick. Then she sent me a message that she would like to see me. My husband pleaded with me to see her, and that I should not withdraw my assistance from her cos she was really blaming him that she knows I will not help her out again with a major task that had been placed in her hands. Funny enough, I was the one who nominated her. I agreed and we met in my office. She pleaded with me and told me all that happened, how it happened, and how she feels so ashamed and all, how my hubby locked the office door when she entered, and he had drank alcohol, and she just couldn't resist. She also said she had learned something from me on the way I handled the issue, by not blowing up and keeping my calm. I forgave her, prayed with her cos she said she had a dream before it happened where she was in the bathroom, naked, all of a sudden, the walls disappeared and it was like an open space where everyone was watching her naked. She didn't understand the dream. Now the worrysome part is this, after promising me never to have anything more to do with my hubby, she has been kinda open with me. She told me some days back that my hubby was still disturbing her. That if I can talk to him to stop. I confronted my hubby and on his part, he said he feels bad for what he did to her, so he's trying to keep communication to help her overcome the depression, that they can still be just friends so it does not end in enimity. As in seeing themselves in church and just walking past like enemies. And am like LEAVE HER ALONE!! What do I do? Cos I don't think he has got the message, or am I the one missing something here, am I over reacting? Is he trying to take advantage of my calmness in all these to continue what was there before or do I believe him when he says he wants to avoid enimity, so that the lady frees him from her conscience and all? Do I continue being friends with her and render the help she knows only me can give, having handled that position before? Or do I put her arms lenght? Cos I don't know how to continue with her as though nothing happened. No matter how I pretend and smile and forgive, the pain is still there. Am confused because even as am writing this, I still see her as a friend.
