Millions Of Women On TikTok Are Sharing How Trusting Their Husband With Their Best Friend Ruined Their Marriage
Not that you need to google "husband slept with best friend" to know that it happens but, for the record, it is not uncommon...
And a very quick search on any internet platform is proof. In fact, according to nationwide responses gathered by the General Social Survey, over 21% of men were unfaithful to their wives, and over 50% of those men admitted they cheated with someone they knew well, like a close friend.
Now, the husband-best-friend relationship is going viral on TikTok — and people are not holding back.
It started when some women started posting videos of their husbands getting very, erm, cozy(?) with their best friends, saying things like, "I feel sorry for girls who can't trust their best friends with their husbands!"
The videos featured things like the best friend and the husband embracing each other for long periods, jumping in pools latched on to one another (even after they hit the water), cuddling on the couch, and more.
The wives were sharing these videos to humble brag about how much they trusted both their husbands and their BFFs together. BUTTTT...many women saw the intimate interactions as red flags:
Some felt the videos made it obvious that the husbands and best friends actually had more than just platonic feelings:
For the record, we don't have any proof these husbands and BFFs cheat with each other, but thousands of women on TikTok seem to think the videos are all the proof needed:
The skepticism mainly came from women who had experienced this type of cheating firsthand:
As the wife:
As the BFF:
Or as the external party:
Even women who were in long-term, happy marriages agreed that the level of ~comfortability~ between the husbands and best friends in most of the videos was concerning:
Many women who were the "best friend" backed the married women saying the videos were inappropriate:
Overall, hundreds of thousands of women agreed it is nice to have a relationship/get along with their bestie's partners, but there is a certain line that shouldn't be crossed:
And it is pretty wild to see that over 80,000 women actually don't care about and/or dislike their best friend's husband:
Finally, nearly 20,000 people see their friend's husbands as mere creatures who are just *there* haha:
In conclusion, the viral videos are making many women hyper-aware of the husband-best-friend dynamic. So, we want to know: How close is too close when it comes to your hubby and bestie? Would you want them to be friends, or have you experienced anything related that you want to share? Let us know in the comments!
