‘Keeping it Real’ or Being an Asshole?

keeping_it_real

We’ve all encountered that guy who prides himself on “telling it like it is” and “keeping it real.” He’s quick to share his unfiltered thoughts and opinions, no matter how rude or offensive they may be. When called out on his behavior, he doubles down, insisting that he’s just being honest and that other people are too sensitive or “can’t handle the truth.”

“My best friend is staying with his cheating wife. Is there anything I can do?”

One of my best friends is being cheated on by his wife. They have a lovely house and two great children together. She has been having an affair with another guy for months, keeps getting caught-out, tries to lie about it, promises to change, and then just continues to have the affair.

The most recent time she got caught, her response was to change all of the passwords on her phone, email, computer, etc. My friend has believed her lies, tried to help her as she plays the victim when confronted by him, tried marriage counselling, everything, because it seems like he can’t bring himself to admit that her continued actions are effectively ending their marriage. But, rather than simply end it, she just keeps lying and having affairs.
