My husbands best friend came round two days ago and said that his wife and my husband have been having an affair for 5 years and he had just found out

Even if I'd fallen out of love with my husband, I'd still want some evidence that he'd been having a five year affair with my best friend before taking any action.

If the affair has been going on that long, the OP must be very unobservant - there are usually clues that signal something isn't right.

It's a caravan and dog on the driveway post....

So the OP cancelled the direct debit yesterday and her husband's credit card was declined today? Erm - it doesn't work like that. Still, I suppose it all adds to the story.

Hmmmm another post that smacks of bored school children..........

50/50 on whether to believe this story or not.

I don't know if I believe it but I kind of like the poetic justice of using a tight, mean, cheating liar's own money on the sly for the very practical purpose of setting a life up away from him. Also the idea that you can go online one afternoon and get everything you need for the new life sorted in an hour or two!

Could I do the same? Probably not

Whatever this is (A book?) well done Lucy1956! I've done similar.

Would you have accepted his friends word for it though, without proof after presumably suspecting nothing for five years?
And involved his kids without any conversation with him?

It would have been good enough for me. Knowing he was an adept liar meant that there was never any evidence of such things - one person prepared to say something would have been enough to reassure me that I hadn't been imagining it.

And I'd certainly have told adult children that it was going to happen once plans were in place, so they knew to either stay clear or tread carefully over that following weekend/week. They are adults, after all, not six year olds; it would certainly have been more ethical than to have my own five year old announcing ten days after the 'I'm leaving next week as soon as I get paid, it's all your fault, I'm completely innocent, you're mental and don't ever speak to anybody about this or I'll tell them all how mental you are and get the kids taken away from you' speech that 'Daddy loves XXXX and they're living in a house and were holding hands and kissing all the time and I had to go and stay with Nanny while they went out'.
