My best friend's husband is hitting on me! HELP!?
My best friend of over 20 years, is married with three children. Her husband recently made a pass at me? I don't want to be responsible for breaking up an otherwise happy family situation. Should I tell her?

Though she defintily has the right to know, and you would probably want to know, you might want to be careful about telling her...you know that saying about blaming the messenger, that may not bode well. However, if she were to catch him at it (if you set it up that way) then you couldnt be blamed and he couldnt turn it around on you. Whatever you decide, I hope it works out.

If the dude does something stupid again tell him that next time his wife will know. Try to avoid situations in which the both of you are left alone.. if he calls you, don't answer. He'll get the hint.
No need to hurt your best friend just yet. Maybe her husband will change his attitude when he realizes he has absolutely no chance with you. Think about your friend... she would suffer SO much if you tell her right now!!! And maybe it's not even necessary.

a true best friend will understand and believe you. she may be pissed and this could potentially end their relationship but she should know. however im only advising you to do this in the event he continues to do this to you. you only mentioned that he recentl;y did this as if it was a one time thing so far. if im correct then i wouldnt be to quick to say something. if you cant gather up the courage to say this to her face to face then i would stop coming around until the point that she starts to question you as to why and then you spill the beans so that you can hold her husband totally accountable for his actions. i was in a similar situation with a close cousin of mine. the only difference was that the next time he attempted another quick feel on me i looked that fool dead in his eye and told him if he laid another finger on me that i would tell her immediatly after him doing so. lets just say i havent had a problem since and they didnt even end up staying together anyways so it all worked out.

Have a stern talk with him and if he seems like you're acting rediculous or isn't taking the situation seriously or tries to make a pass at you again, TELL HER. Don't threaten him or give him a warning that you're going to tell her. Just have your convo w/ him, leave it at that, then get her alone sometime and talk to her about it. You really don't want to muddy up a situation, thats true. Who knows if he's hitting on other women besides you, but personally that's what I would do. I would talk to her, though. I would see what's going on with them in their marriage, if she trusts him etc

Keep away from him. Do not return his advances. If this is happening, it's NOT a good marriage. Or a happy family situation. If you tell her, don't be surprised if she thinks you're trying to sabotage things or flat out disbelieves you and it breaks the trust in your relationship.

The truth is she probably already knows he's a dog. Passes are realitve and if you told her he's just going to say, "He didn't mean it like that." But let him know in no uncertain terms that you aren't interested and the only reason why you aren't going to tell her is because you don't want to lose her friendship or be apart of the kids losing their father.

This one is tough. this happened to me. He hit on me once and I ignored it. The second time he did it- I weighed the consequences and finally just kind of stopped hanging around my friend so much. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to ruin their marriage or our friendship. I never told her and we still talk.
Now they are divorced (15years later). So we are kind of hanging out together again. She chalks it up to our lives being busy and we just grew apart. She doesn't know and probably never will know.
She was the type to always make plays for my boyfriends in school and always wanted whatever I had. I just couldn't do it to her. She had this relationship and love and marriage, kids all before me and she was proud of that. i always thought she would think I was making it up. Plenty of people witnessed it, but it just wasn't worth it to me.

I would tell him to back off or you will go to his wife and if you have a husband,let him tell him the same thing but in a more physical way.

To tell u the truth i wouldn't tell. However; i would not like to be left alone w/him. Telling her would mess up y'all relationship, if he make a pass at u he have cheated before and she know this. She's not going to believe u she sleeps w/him. You know what kind of person she is that's why ur asking for advise.

No. He probably just had a weak moment. As long as that's all it was, then let it go. Give the man a break, he's human. If he takes it further or does it again, then you can tell her.
