"The Alibi"

Okay ladies, here's the scenario:

Last week you received a phone call from a platonic male friend that you've known since childhood. Based on the panicked tone of his voice it was rather apparent that he was treading in extremely desperate territory. Your friend confided in you that due to a recent unfortunate episode his marriage has turned turbulent. He goes on to reveal that his wife recently stumbled across his email account. He believes he neglected to logout of his personal email before exiting their shared home computer. Like many inquisitive women, his wife decided to capitalize on a golden opportunity to snoop a bit. As she explored her husbands 'saved' email folder, she discovered one particular email from $exydiva1 stating how much she enjoyed their recent outing and how seeing him brought back a ton of warm familiar feelings.

Your homeboy came home from work yesterday to an empty house. The note that his wife left on the kitchen counter indicated that she and their 3-year-old daughter were leaving for good since obviously he had a desire to relive "warm familiar feelings" with some other "tramp". This revelation has rendered your childhood friend both distraught and desperate. He calls himself thinking quickly on his feet by telling his wife that the email was innocent and that a childhood friend sent it... that friend is YOU. He then calls your cell phone to give you the heads up that "wifey" might decide to verify his story with a phone call of her own. You realize that your boy was living foul but the fact still remains that he has been your good friend for what seems like an eternity. Would you cover for your homie by regurgitating the prepared script that he provided you; when his wife finally does call? Or would you take the honest route and inform his wife that you are not the women who emailed her man ... leaving your friend to sort out his own mess? "Inquiring minds wanna know". So tell us...

i wouldn't lie for him but, i wouldn't incriminate him either. i wouldn't want to be involved in the drama at all. is not answering the phone when she calls an option?

first of all, men don't think that much. most would try to lie by saying it was an extremely old email, or it was sent to the wrong person and he had no idea who this person was. or they would go with the classic "turn around" and simply tell his wife that if that's all it takes to destroy their marriage then she didn't really love him anyway OR tell her it's her fault because she hasn't been there for him, blah, blah, blah... men are stupid that way.

if there happened to be a "winner" out there who gave it as much rational thought as indicated in this post, i'd be inclined to not answer the phone and he'd be knocked down a few notches on my friends list since he gave my number to some irrate woman without my permission.

He is so wrong. He should not have gone out with a past "lady" friend. Tell me, what positive thing could have come of that? His As* should know better. He could have talked to this person on the phone but an "outing" with her. No help from me....

Pathetic, trifling……

Ok, so as if having to deal with the fact that my man has stepped out on a date with diva1 and lied about it is not enough. I now have to deal with the fact the my fellow women should be willing to cover for my mans scandalous behavior? Sounds to me as if lying for my "friend" would be another way of enabling this vicious cycle of infidelity to continue. Just think if the Diva1's of the world were unwilling date married men, and the alibi's (women & men)were unwilling to cover for this man's foul actions. What would my friend have done? Hopefully, he would have taken his silly butt home to the family who loves him.

So to answer your question NO I'm not lying.

U know what- NO... because then wifey would be looking at me sideways! Look women have intuition that we are just born with--- we can walk into a room and sense another female our man maybe or has been interested in---- Remember that. Emails are just the icing on the CAKE. Or in this case- The QUE to ball out.

Yes, I would cover for my friend. I would rather tell a lie that would salvage a relationship than a truth that would destroy.

First of all, it is impossible for you to be cheated by anyone but yourself. If you are checking emails, phone records, texts, etc. you do not trust the person you are with. And suspicion follows close on mistrust. Hence, you suspected they were cheating already! So, did you simply find tangible evidence for what your "woman's intuition"/heart already revealed? Who is lying here? Secondly, and most importantly, if you don't want to be lied to, don't ask questions. If there are no questions there are no lies. Your heart will tell you everything you need to know in due time. The key is not to deceive yourself.

I would cover for him but the silly girl is crazy for being with a man she does not trust but will believe me, an unidentifiable source.

i think that makes you just as crazy, siily girl, for lying to her for a "friend" who must not respect you very much if he put you into his drama unsolicited.

I'm a man and I'd expect my friend to lie for me. I'd also hope and pray to never be in a situation like that but it could happen. I say this becouse nowhere does it say anything actually HAPPENED..So married men can't catch up with an old female friend? What if her screen name was FATANDNASTY1 instead of SEXYDIVA1..would that have made a difference?

just a question

The reaction is the thing that is actually what i see most have missed-the lady "balls out" at the first sign of trouble. No communication. She just wants to make a statement and now has involved everyone else in a family matter. Since the dude went out with the chicken head obviously-he's wrong-Her reaction-or over Reaction is so dramatically over the top that truthfully-he is probably better off-snooping through his email,phone,pockets-who do you think you are the NSA-even they need a warrant. Got a question? Ask it. Got a suspicion? ask it. Had a bad dream-write it down-but if it involves another woman-please don't wake your man up with that dumbbbbb@@@@@$$$$ stuff. Above all-make sure that before you do something as stupid as this girl did-that you atleast confer with those who have had and continue to have successful relationships-dude is wrong and but is obviously trying to save his marriage...cover for his dumb ass for not atleast being technically adept enough to cover his tracks like most of females here would.

I have many issues with this…

1. If he truly viewed this woman as a friend he wouldn’t lie on her to his wife…especially since his wife should know her if she is such a GREAT friend.
2. If his friend covers then that just gives him an open door to continue to be shady…never taking responsibility for his actions. (YOU ARE MARRIED DOG!!!!!)
3. This is married folks business and unless you are the mistress I don’t think anyone should get involved.

So basically no I would not lie for him…sorry Charlie once you say “I do” and continue to step out you are on your own….life’s a bitch and he made it that way. His wife did it like I would…get the U-haul and call it a day.

Coming from one that found the email, got the uhaul and called it a day....if you're willing to believe some random story by some other chick...you get what you're asking for....more trouble. Call it a day, is what I say.
