Keeping secrets from your partner can hurt them in the long run and break down trust. Still, it is possible to find a solution sometimes with time and good communication. A woman recently learned something shocking about her husband. She wrote a letter online to ask for help and advice because she wasn’t sure if she should talk about the problem.

“Hey,

A year ago, I met my husband Mario (41M) at the opening of my best friend Johnny’s art show. I am 38F. We clicked right away because we were both very interested in art. There was no trouble with dating between us, and after six months, we got married.

Mario works as an architect and paints, though not very well. I set him up with Johnny while we were still dating because I thought he would get along well with him. My husband and my best friend have become very close since then. Mario started going to Johnny’s workshop at least twice a week to paint with him for a long time. He also told me that painting is his way of getting away, and even now that we’re married, he still likes to spend his time at Johnny’s paint shop.

I understood and agreed with this because I am an artist at heart. I was also thrilled and pleased to learn that my husband has become friends with my best friend.

Before a few days ago, when Mario was, as usual, at Johnny’s workshop, we had the best first two months as husband and wife. I decided to clean up our bedroom. I found a “book” buried under the mattress while I was switching sheets. When I opened it out of curiosity, I saw that it was my husband’s diary. I would have returned it but for the horrifying words on the page: “I’m sure my wife will divorce me if she ever finds out that Johnny, her best friend, is now my other half, my soulmate.” He’s become the person I love most in the world. A man like me will be unhappy without Johnny in his life. Because I love Janet so much, I can’t tell her the truth. It hurts me a lot. I can’t afford to lose her, though.”

When I read these words, they made my legs shake. I looked for more about Johnny in the next few pages, but there was nothing that confirmed what I already thought. I want to know more about the relationship between my husband and my best friend. What should I do? With this information, I don’t know what to do next. Should I talk to him or Johnny about what I read, or should I do my research by myself? I need your help. Please tell me what to do next.

Sincerely,
Janet”
