US EditionAsking Eric: Cheater Wants Back in After His Affair Ruined Our Friend Group
- A man who had an affair with a friend's wife for seven years came over unexpectedly yesterday to ask for reconciliation with the speaker's husband and wife.
- The affair, which occurred about 30 or 35 years ago, devastated the cheated-on husband, leading to divorce and relocation hours away, and caused lasting damage to the friend group.
- The short, awkward visit ended with the cheater pleading to rebuild the friendship, but the speaker and her husband question whether rekindling bonds after such damage is possible or right.
- The cheater said the affair was 'half a lifetime ago,' claimed he tried being a good friend afterward, and admitted that he and his wife now have zero friends.
- The advice is that if the speaker and her husband are open and the cheater works on amends, pursuing reconciliation might help, but significant past harm means caution is warranted.
