CASE STUDY - "SAM"
"The four of us have been great friends since college. Amy and I were the maid of honor and the best man at Sarah and John's wedding, and they reciprocated at our wedding three months later. John and I opened up an advertising agency.
We felt like a family, and spent most of our time together. Amy always had a great sense of humor, and she and John always joked around causing Sarah and me to laugh hysterically. Problem was, Amy and John seemed to have laughed themselves right into each other's arms.
This took place right under my nose and I didn't even see or smell (I should say) a thing. In retrospect, all of the pieces are starting to fit together. Amy used to drive by our office at lunchtime when she knew I'd be out with a client. John being a gentleman would take her to a local restaurant located inside a hotel.
Sarah figured it all out and told me. When she was paying the monthly bill she noticed Amy's work number was listed numerous times on their cell phone. She thought that this was odd, even though we were such close friends. She mentioned it to John who said Amy had been crying on his shoulder, telling him that she and I were having marital problems.
Supposedly, she made John swear never to mention anything to me or to his wife. How stupid could Sarah and I have been? All those times we shared a cabin at the lake, Sarah and I would turn in early leaving the two of them chatting on the porch. Also, Amy always seemed to be parading around in nothing but her T-shirt. It never occurred to me to be jealous, I never dreamt that anything like this could happen.
Sarah told me that she's filing for a divorce. I'm too angry and confused to make any decisions yet. It seems like everything I've ever worked for is crumbling. My marriage fallen apart, and it would be impossible for John and me to work together after his disgusting behavior."
