AITA for telling my friend she cried wolf?
Hi all!
So about two weeks ago, my friend mentioned to the friend group that her and her husband of three years were getting a divorce. She was devastated and we were all supportive. She said there were signs he was cheating and that he was also verbally abusive, and she had just snapped and decided that enough was enough.
We spent the last two weeks supporting her in every single way possible. We helped her move out, we helped her start a new lease, we helped her with the divorce papers, we even went as far as giving her money because she claimed he had their savings locked up until the divorce was official
Well, about an hour ago, she reached back out to the group via text so let us know that they were no longer getting a divorce. According to her, the signs that she misunderstood of him was cheating were just him working overtime. She says that a lot of of his verbal abuse is forgivable and she hopes we can all forgive him and respect them as a couple.
I wrote back that I’m so glad they are making things work and that I would never wanna see her marriage fail, but that she’s going to be the girl who cried wolf anytime they get into a fight in the near future because we are all going to believe that she is being the dramatic since that was the case here. So I told her that we love her but just to be aware of her actions before she actively bashes her husband in public because the next time we may not believe her. I say this because she went as far as blasting him on social media.
She wrote back stating she’s disappointed in my message because she was hoping we would be supportive of the fact that they didn’t choose divorce. I told her that if she properly read the first part of my message, over six sentences of how happy I am for her and that I’m glad they can make it work. That the final part of my message was just a question because I really felt like these past two weeks of leaving work early and not spending time with my own husband and canceling my plans to be there her is not something that can continually happen if she cries wolf every time. This is the third time in their marriage she has done this.
So AITA for telling her she cried wolf
