I recently came back from an out-of-town trip and found a personal item belonging to a close friend in my upstairs bathroom. When I questioned my husband, he said he found it on the floor. When I questioned how it ended up on the upstairs bathroom floor later in the day, he said he found it under the couch and put it in his pocket and that he then took it out of his pocket and left it on a table in the bathroom. While the story is possible, I find it suspicious.

This person had not been to my home for three weeks. A few years ago, I learned that this friend and my husband were having an emotional relationship but that it did not progress to a physical relationship. After counseling, my husband and I continued in our marriage and we continued to get together with this couple. I am now heartbroken.

I don’t want to end my marriage but I don’t want to be with my husband if he is lying and cheating. Since this is also a very close girlfriend, I am also deeply hurt by her actions. I can’t end my marriage on a suspicion but have no tangible proof. I just don’t know what to do at this point.
