ONE of my closest friends is being humiliated by her cheating husband.

He’s sleeping around and has got himself a dreadful reputation.

The latest rumour is that he’s sleeping with the woman who has just opened a nail salon in our small town. Not only that but he’s got a long-term mistress who has a reputation for selling sex.

I hate the bloke. He gives me the creeps. He’s a groper and a flirt. When he greets me with a kiss he always tries to get his tongue in my mouth and his wandering hands invariably manage to touch my bum or a boob.

My friend doesn’t seem to notice what he’s like, even though he’s openly sleazy in front of her.

They’ve got three young kids and his behaviour is disgusting. Should I try to put her straight?

JANE SAYS: I would leave this dreadful situation alone if I were you.

She can see for herself just what her husband’s behaviour is like. Maybe she has decided to ignore it for her own reasons.

Perhaps she needs his financial support for the kids. If she’s dependent on him then you can see why she might grin and bear it until she can find the courage to escape.

She has chosen not to speak to you about her situation and you have to respect that. For all you know his cheating may suit her – she may be having a fling of her own.

If you bring this out into the open she will probably deny it and it may well ruin your friendship.

You could just hint that if she ever wants to talk you’ll be there for her.

Just make sure that you’re ready for him if he ever dares to overstep the mark with you again.

You don’t have to put up with anything unpleasant.
