    The most I have said to him is hi and bye, like I said I don't have anything to do with this man and he and I have never been close or even had a conversation about where I work.
    He may of worked it out at Christmas or he didn't realise I was the woman's manager as I work for a very large company.

    Yeah ok. Its just your his OH's best friend - i can't imagine knowing so little about my partners friends. Seems strange.

    Men often don't take any interest in the details us women pick up as a matter of course.

    Introduce a woman to a friend of her OH's and by the end of the evening she'll know where he works, where he was born , what he does for a living and a heap more. Introduce a man to a friend of his OH and if he remembers her name by the end of the evening he's done well !

    to be fair I knew very little about my best friends (now ex) husband. We were friends long before they got married and other than passing the time of day with him I didn't really speak to him.

    I knew all my best mates complaints about him though :rotfl:

    I do not know my best friends hubby, he keeps himself to himself, I have met him once but I would never remember what he looks like - they have been together around 9 years now. My friend is my son's GM but she comes to us and we never really goes to hers as she has a really boisterous dog.

    It's not a big deal to be honest, she got married just the 2 of them and she works a lot and they have no children - I (personally) think it's a bit weird sometimes but it's their marriage, not mine and as long as she is happy with him it is none of my business really. We are not the kind of friends who talk about sex and stuff like that, I just know she would always be there if I needed her and she is one of my oldest friends.

    Can you give me some more information on the legal side of this? The deeds to the house is only in my friends name as her father built the house for her on some land he bought and built 4 houses on.
    As far as I know she has not put her husbands name on the deeds he just moved in with her when they first got together.

    I'm not sure about all the legalese as I'm no expert in these things but as the property is in her own name and presumably there's no mortgage on it, his claim on it would appear to be rather weak. BUT marriage does change everything. How long have they been married?

    I did get caught pregnant. I was on the pill and didn't realise I was pregnant until I was almost 6 months gone, that certainly caught me out lol

    up the duff is the one that grates on me.

    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
  • Well handled OP, what an awful situation to find yourself in. I wouldn't have wanted to be in your shoes at all with this.

    I can understand why your friend has taken this action. However by law she is not allowed to lock her husband out of his own home. He could get that overturned relatively easily.

    If she decides that all this has brought about the collapse of her marriage then she needs to act smart. Rather than bothering with locksmiths she should seek the advice of a solicitor. Not what anyone expects to be doing so near to giving birth. This is such an awfully sad predicament for your friend to be in. She is going to need her friends and family very much over the next few weeks and months.

    As the lady concerned is due to give birth and has just had this bombshell dropped on her, I cannot imagine any court insisting on her husband being allowed to disturb her peace for a little while. Especially as it is her name on the deeds. I strongly suspect he is going to find himself whistling into the wind if he tries that one.

    It would be interesting to know how much time he actually spent at "home" with his wife and how much time he spent at "home" with his fianc!e! It could put a whole new complexion on where his "home" actually is... or even if he has one.

    Last night when my friend came over before I had a chance to say anything she asked me if I thought **** was having an affair?

    She found a hidden mobile and had being reading the text ect for the last couple of weeks.

    Anyway without going into great detail, I told her what I had witnessed and she was very very upset crying and making lots of noise I just held her.

    She asked me if I knew who the other woman was and when I told her yes she hit the roof, I was really concerned that she might do something silly so I told her she was to stay with me until the morning.

    We was up until late/early hours talking,crying drinking tea ect.

    She wants to catch him in the act but I have told her to leave it for now and concentrate on the baby.
    I don't believe one single word of it.
