Why would my friend keep helping her cheating husband?

[Anonymous]

He's been cheating on her forever and he just bought a house where he keeps his business 1500 miles away. For him to stay half the week. He needed help moving so she's flying there to move all his shit LOL. I told her what makes u think he's not still cheating and that he doesn't bring her back to his place.

The heart often has its reasons that reason knows nothing of, and it sounds like your friend might be entangled in a classic case of lovebombing combined with what we might call the "sunk cost fallacy." Essentially, she might be so invested in the relationship, both emotionally and, let's be real, practically, that she's finding it hard to cut ties even in the face of flagrant infidelity. It's a tough spot to be in, and the lens of love (or attachment) can sometimes make those red flags look like just... flags, especially when hope is playing its tricky game. If you're looking to support her, keep the conversation open, non-judgmental, and maybe, just maybe, help her see her own worth through all this fog. Love, after all, should lift us up, not keep us tied down to someone else's carousel of infidelity.

As confusing, disappointing and hurtful it can be watching our good friends go through the motions, it’s important not to judge and not be affected by what they’re going through because at the end of the day, people just wanna be loved. She’s put a lot into that situation, probably degrading or shameful things, they’re married, maybe with kids, and in her mind it’s too much to lose. It has to pay off. All you can do is hope one day she’ll see her value, prioritize her happiness and leave that toxic husband alone.

Why is it that you think he is cheating?
I've had to work 100s and even over 1000 miles away for long periods of time. About 10 years ago, I hadn't seen my wife for 11 months! But I never cheated and I doubt she did neither.

Someone told her and she found out it was true. She never confronted him because at the time there was serious turmoil in the family. I guess now she's blocked ut from her mind and is complacent
