“I SLEPT WITH MY BEST FRIEND’S HUSBAND”
“I often went clubbing with Ellie and her husband Justin. When Ellie didn’t want to come, Justin and I still went together. A couple of times Justin wanted to go for a weekend break in Scotland and, because Ellie didn’t fancy it, I went with him. She didn’t seem bothered. Once, when we were away, he just kissed me. Ellie heard rumours and asked what was going on- we denied it, but she found out the truth and they split. Justin and I were together for 18 months before we came clean to our other friends. I always said I’d never get involved with another girl’s man, especially a friend’s. I love Justin, but I regret losing the best friendship I ever had. I’ve been with Justin for four years and I still beat myself up about it. Unbelievably, Ellie’s still there for me when there’s a crisis. She’s one in a million.” Emily, 28
