Woman shares shocking moment she found out best friend of 20 years had slept with her husband

We all know that stag dos have a bit of a bad reputation, but to sleep with your bride-to-be's best friend? Well, that really takes the biscuit.

Now, who doesn't love a good stag or hen do? Sending off soon-to-be newly weds into married life by having one final blow out, whether that's jetting off to a sunny location for a few days and drinking copious pina coladas, or keeping it simple by having one too many at the local boozer.

But sadly, not all stags and hens end with just a bit of a hangover as one unfortunate bride recently found out.

The Australian woman, known only as Sophie, sent in her nightmare of a story to the podcast Everybody Has A Secret, leaving the hosts and listeners absolutely shell-shocked.

In the letter Sophie sent in, which was also posted on TikTok, she started by getting straight to the point, saying: "Last week my best friend Maddie admitted to me that she had sex with my husband at his bucks [bachelor] party."

She went on: "As you can imagine, I’m devastated. My husband Tom and I have been married for 18 months and I had absolutely no idea that there were any issues in our relationship, let alone that he was capable of this level of deception."

Sophie explained how Maddie had been the Maid of Honor at her wedding, and that they had been best friends for 20 years - meaning they were incredibly close, enough to know how many men each of them had slept with.

On a recent night out with several other girl friends, Maddie slipped up, saying she had had sex with 19 over the course of her lifetime, instead of 18.

"As soon as she said that, I corrected her," Sophie said. "She drunkenly said, ‘No, mine is 19’. She clearly realised in that moment she had made a mistake, because she tried to pathetically backtrack, but she was too inebriated to do it convincingly.

"In this moment I thought she’d probably just exposed herself for cheating on her partner Jack and was embarrassed."

Sophie explained how later in the evening, she pulled Maddie aside to try and get more information out of her, with her telling her so-called friend she 'wouldn't judge if she cheated on Jack'.

After getting tearful and repeatedly saying 'it was a mistake', Maddie then confessed that the man she had cheated on Jack with was none other than Tom - Sophie's new husband.

Oh, and it was on the night of his stag do too.

In the shock of the moment, Sophie admitted she slapped Maddie across the face and stormed out.

In the conclusion of the letter, the heartbroken wife said her friend has been inundating her with calls, but she's yet to answer them.

Her husband is also currently abroad on a business trip and while she said she plans on divorcing him, she's yet to confront him about his betrayal.

After asking for advice on how to confront her husband, podcast listeners took to the comments on TikTok to share their thoughts, with one penning: "I would tell Maddie’s partner IMMEDIATELY! He deserves to know the truth."

Another said: "Scorched earth. Just leave, divorce papers on the counter with a PO BOX or lawyers address."

And a third wrote: "Have a surprise welcome-home party and tell him in front of all his close friends and family."
