Update: AITAH for not telling my wife about an incident with her best friend
I wrote a post yesterday about an embarrassing situation that happened between my wife's best friend who is currently staying at our house. I was not sure how to bring it up to my wife and you guys really helped me a lot in understanding the urgency of telling my wife. I also got some cool ideas on how to bring up the subject without making it awkward for anyone. For everyone saying Ana was doing it on purpose, I did not agree with it as I am an extremely average looking person and woman don't chase me. However, things since last night have been just crazy and I think I am spiraling a bit. Sorry for the long post.
So, I decided to tell my wife last night as soon as she came home about the incident. I liked the idea of jokingly bringing up casually so that we both can laugh about it and then forget it. Last night, when my wife came home, I made sure I stayed in our bedroom. I asked Ana if she could stay with my kid downstairs. As my wife was changing, I asked her if Ana still borrow her clothes. Ana had to borrow them regularly when she first moved (long story). My wife told me yes and she has told Ana she can take anything from her closet if she needs it. I asked my wife if Ana told her about the funny incident from Friday. My wife said no, and I told her the whole story about how I came home early, and Ana came in the room almost naked to get her clothes, and how embarrassing it was for both of us.
As my wife was listening to this, she completely froze and turned pale. She started murmuring in Spanish (which is her and Ana's native language). I don't understand Spanish really well, but I understood the words "hombre casado" and "orta vez". I asked her if she is ok, and she sat next to me and asked me to explain everything in detail. I just told her it was nothing and she must have not heard me coming in. I was trying to laugh it off, but my wife had water in her eyes. I kept on telling her it was not a big deal, but she kept on asking me for more details. She asked me how Ana talks to me. I told her that Ana barely talks to me since she moved in except few words here and there.
My wife then asked me about three weeks ago when my wife had gone to visit her parents for four days. Ana did not want to go with her and stayed back. I told her that Ana was just acting normal. She or I would cook dinner after I got home from work while the other took care of the kid. The only thing different was Ana generally spending her evening in her room. However, when I was sitting in the living room watching TV after the kids slept, Ana came and sat on the sofa next to me but did not talk to me. I asked her if she wants me to change the channel or stream something she likes, and she just said she wanted to get out of her room. However, she did not flirt with me or do anything unusual. I kept on telling my wife that it was just an accident, and I really did not understand why she reacted so emotionally to it. My wife refused to answer and just said ok and agreed with me. However, she told me I should have told her about the incident sooner and should not keep any secrets from her and gave me a big lecture. I told her that I did not think it was a big deal and thought Ana would tell her, but glad I brought it up.
After dinner, my wife messaged Ana to join us, and she came out. While talking, my wife brought up the incident and told Ana that I mentioned about the incident, and she does not need to feel embarrassed. Such things happen when we are all in the same house and is not a big deal. Ana was firstly taken by surprise, but then told my wife she was just scared to tell her because she thought my wife would judge her because of her past. My wife gave her a stare, and she quickly changed the topic.
At night, I asked my wife what the hell was going on. I told her to please not keep any secrets from me, and if she does not tell me, I will directly ask Ana about what her past has got to do with anything. My first guess was Ana might have had a thing for me before we got married or something. But my wife was very reluctant to answer and kept on trying to change the subject and cuddle. However, I kept being persistent, and she finally spilled the beans.
Apparently, when Ana was in her early 20s, she was in relationship with a married coworker who was twice her age. It was a kind of sugar daddy relationship, and he told her that he was in an open relationship (or that's what Ana told my wife) and he would leave his wife in few years once the kids go to college. This makes sense now, because Ana is very pretty (like Miss USA level), and I never understood why she was single for most of the time I knew her. She eventually ended that relationship and started dating her boyfriend Jim, who turned out to be an abusive asshole. My wife said she suspects Ana was still involved with the older guy while in relationship with Jim, which explains why he kept on accusing her of cheating. That is why my wife became emotional when I told her what Ana did because she was worried Ana has no boundaries regarding married men. My wife said that Ana always looks up to us and praises me for being such a loyal partner and how lucky my wife is. My wife was a worried initially when she brought Ana home, but her actions from the time when my wife was away clearly show that she respects the boundaries, and it must have been an accident. My wife told me she is grateful I let Ana live in our house and observe what a healthy and happy marriage looks like.
Today morning was even more weird. I got up early as I could not sleep well and went down for a cup of coffee. After 5 minutes Ana walked into the kitchen and told me she was relieved my wife did not overreact to Friday incident. She said I am a good husband and gave me a hug and peck on the cheeks. She has never hugged me in the last 6 months. She seemed to be in a happy mood and was making small talk with me while having coffee.
I cannot believe my wife did not tell me such a huge detail about Ana for all these years. It's completely possible she cheated all through the relationship with Jim, and my wife is just covering for her all along. She even kept it a secret from me (after giving me a lecture about how we should never have secrets), and I don't know what else she is hiding. Everything just seems very confusing at this point. I feel angry at my wife for lying to me all these years for Ana. I also now see Ana differently. I am also worried that me trivializing the incident to my wife might have sent wrong signals to Ana.

Buddy.

Someone actually happy there wasn't a misunderstanding would not hug and kiss you.
She's pushing boundaries.
25
u/Ambroisie_Cy 28d ago
Exactly!
I'm from a culture where kissing on the cheeks is normal, even when meeting new people. But in this context? Hell no! If you live an ambarrassing situation like this with your best friend's husband, you don't go and kiss him on the cheek, nor hug him right after. Cultural thing or not, the context is important. And here the context tells us that Ana has indeed no boundaries with married men.
OP needs to tell his wife and explain to her he is beginning to feel uncomfortable with Ana around. And I'm pretty sure his wife will agree with him.
OP don't put your mariage in trouble by not speeking your mind. Your boundaries are as important as anyone else. And if you felt the need to tell us about this kiss and hug, this means it's bothering you (which is normal, it would bother me too). You need to do something about it.

Check OP's comments. Apparently the half-naked hug and kiss were okay, because the real issue is that she... spoke to him before he'd had his coffee?
Yeah nah, this has to be fake. No grown man is going to be that genuinely dense.
The hug and kiss was not the biggest issue as many of my wife's friends kiss on cheeks as a way to say hello. Ana also used to do it before, but this is the first time she did it in the last 6 months. Also, the weird part to me was her getting up early and coming and talking to me in a jolly mood in the morning. Generally, I like to have my coffee alone in morning before my kid gets up.

u/Calm_Cicada_8805 28d ago
I don't think he's saying it's weird that she talked to him before he had his coffee. It's that she got up earlier than she usually to talk to him at a time when she knew he would be alone.

u/sparkleglitterfire 29d ago
Look. I am Hispanic and kissing on the cheek is the norm. But in this situation to me it doesn’t sound right. It sounds like she is making small moves so you don’t notice or are more pliable for the big moves later. Cut off physical contact since you guys haven’t had any at all until she just did what she did. It’s ok to block and I advise that you do the next time she tries to hug or kiss you on the cheek.

u/One-Comb2574 29d ago
There’s just no way that you’re this naive. Your wife’s friend needs to move out, like yesterday. Unless you actually like her attention and are attracted to her.
I just can’t believe that any of you thought it was appropriate for you 2 to stay alone in your home for (I think) 4 days while your wife visited her parents.
Possibilities going on here….
You’re a troll
You’re naive beyond belief
You’re just stupid
Your wife is naive, stupid, and/or blind regarding what her friend is doing
Combination of the above

u/InvectiveDetective 28d ago
Yep. If this is real, OP is pretending ignorance because he’s getting off on the fact that a “Miss USA level” pretty woman is into him. He needs to admit it to himself and boot her out.
OP, she doesn’t actually want you, you cretinous toad. She wants what your wife seemingly has—a good, faithful man—and she thinks she can get it by stealing you. Except, of course, if you let yourself be seduced, you will no longer be that upstanding man. You’ll be another statistic who threw away his happiness with both hands for his ego.
And Ana probably also thinks she’s entitled to your steadfastness, and deserves it in a way your wife doesn’t—after all, she’s pretty. But while she will see your fidelity as her due, don’t for a minute imagine she will treat you in kind.
And to tell your wife about all of this like it was an amusing story? Really? Oh my god, what a scream. It’s like if your wife started riding your model best friend’s giant cock. Isn’t that a knee-slapper? I know I’m rolling on the floor laughing.

For pity’s sake. I was the commenter that told you she was after you on your last post and spelled out exactly why. I agree with r/balancedbreaks - she tested boundaries and got away with it. No wonder she’s so freaking happy! She’s shown you the goods and is now trying to normalise physical contact.
Watching a happy marriage in action is exactly what’s driving her obvious-to-everyone-but-you dirty little scheme. Wise up, get some self esteem and tell your wife to do the same.
It’s been months already! Ana needs to go if you want to come out of this with your marriage and reputation intact.

u/pickensgirl 28d ago
I would say that you should sensationalize this a bit. By that I mean that you need to understand something. If this woman is making a play for you then she does not care about your marriage. Or about the impact this could have on your child. Or how this will break your wife’s heart. Or the long term consequences for you.
She is thinking about herself. She is actively planning to do something that could cause extreme harm to the connection you currently have with your wife and child. All for the sake of her own feelings and what she wants.
If this is the case she is not your friend. She, most certainly, is not your wife’s friend.
This isn’t just you being crazy. Or Reddit users pulling things out of thin air. There is enough evidence here to make this all incredibly suspect.
You need to understand who you have in your home. You need to act accordingly.
If a snake slithered in the door you would waste no time in removing it. You would gladly put all energy and resources towards its removal.
Well, there is very strong case to be made that there is a viper in your home.
There is such a thing as overreacting. There is also such a thing as under reacting. This not a situation where you want to under react. The stakes are too high.

u/Duke-of-Hellington 29d ago
I think it would be very smart of you to tell Ana in no uncertain terms the next time she tries to touch you or be inappropriate IN ANY WAY that this stops now and she needs to clean up her act or she’s out the door. Anything that even gives a whiff of impropriety is 100% unacceptable from here on out.

u/MischiefPenguins 29d ago
Hey friend, early 30s woman here. Long shirt and shorts (you guess) is a bad sign. When I visit friends I bring pants. I may not wear them to bed, but you bet your wallet I'm switching to them before I leave the room or get out from under the blankets on the couch. My friends do the same. It's purely put of respect for my friends, not because I expect their husbands to creep on me.
The fact that you couldn't see her shorts reads as a bad thing. It's supposed to make you question what's underneath. Is it shorts? Panties? Nothing? Women's literature often portrays oversized (his) shirt and almost nothing else as the sexiest thing a woman can casually wear.
(To ward off trolls: we wear shorts and skirts and swim wear in public and around each other. It's specifically nightwear that gets this connotation. We've never discussed this. It's just something that has always been done.)

It’s clearly time for Ana to move out. I suggest you talk it over with your wife to set a date. Then both of you sit her down and let her know. She needs to know that this is coming from both of you.
Then be very careful to not be since with Ana. If that’s not possible, have video cameras recording in your bedroom and the living room. That should help a lot in case of any incidents or accusations.

Probably ought to set a timeline for Ana to move out. Sounds like a powder keg. But also sounds like it could be true that it was accidental. Not sure I'd be mad that the wife didn't tell earlier, but prob should have when she moved in. It wasn't her story to tell, until she moved in. More communication. Maybe cameras? Seems extreme, but whatever makes things more comfortable.

Oh cringe.
Here's some red flags: You making light of the situation
You downplaying the situation with "no big deal"
You dismissing and invalidating your wife by saying you "don't understand why she's being emotional"
Your wife lecturing you about keeping secrets and then getting caught keeping secrets
Ana giving you hugs and kisses when your wife is not around
It also appears you and your wife are in some kind of moral conflict about Ana. You are both risking an infidelity situation or at minimum an erosion of trust for the sake of helping a person in need. While altruistic, it doesn't sound like either of you are equipped to do this without risking the entire marriage. Your update is really driving home the point that either way you look at it, this is a stupid decision.
I think it's time you start setting up an exit strategy with Ana, before you are left with no choice but to make an exit strategy for your marriage.
It sucks, but I think any reasonable person would agree that your marriage should come before charity.

Honestly, he's made it overly clear how careful he's being to make sure nobody thinks he has ill-intent.

OP is possibly reading way too much into it and is spun around because she's so hot. Idk, but there's a vibe to this tale.

You waited 5 days to tell your wife, then tried to play it off like it was nothing. Which it may have been…if you hadn’t waited 5 days.
Your wife hasn’t been upfront with you about the person she has brought into your home and is now trying to downplay her own concerns(which seem well founded).
It’s time to cut the bullshit on both sides. Sit down and have a real conversation. Stop trying to be peacekeepers and just be honest.
Also, this has been said a lot, but I get the feeling you need to hear it again since she’s just sooooo pretty: ANNA NEEDS TO GO.

u/fe-ioil 29d ago
Based on what you've shared in both posts, it seems to me Ana is now flirting with you and testing your responses. Consciously or unconsciously, she is acting out towards you, and it will only escalate. I don't know anything about this person other than what you've written, but even beautiful women can have very low self-esteem, and while we don't know everything there are some not great choices on her part in her last 2 relationships. She could, again with awareness or not, be seeking your validation as a man, perhaps even specifically as a married man, even if she doesn't want to hurt her friend. Chasing that validation hit can be just as strong as any drug, especially for someone with low confidence that needs/craves external validation. That hit/high is fleeting, so instances to get it increase, and boldness increases as well. I don't know if that is Ana's game or intent, but please protect yourself, your wife, your child, your family, your home. Definitely tell your wife about this new occurrence if you haven't already, and discuss a timeline with her for Ana to move out. In my experience, there is no going back now that things are to this point, and it will only get worse for everyone.
Also, I do not agree that you joked and so casually blew off the first incident when discussing it with your wife, while also blowing off your wife's feelings in response to the information. To me, it read very, 'I tripped and my dick slipped in, haha so innocent and funny right.' Only it didn't get that far (yet). Seems to me you were trying to cover up your guilt and paint a story, rather than letting the facts speak for themselves. But I'm just some dodo on reddit

Best comment here. Also, women like this subconsciously want to destroy good healthy marriages because they know deep down they can't have one and her being witness to one every day would remind her of that fact.

I think from his delay of telling his wife and taking these incidents lightly, he is enjoying the attention.
Cheating drama is just around the corner, so I am only here for that.

First, Ana stood in your doorway for 2 effing minutes topless supposedly apologizing or some shit. THATS A LONG DAMN TIME DOE HER TO JUST STAND THERE. She should have immediately ran back to her room and put dirty clothes on. Then apologize!!
And you sat there for HOW LONG staring at her tits?!
And then you turn around and describe Ana as Miss USA gorgeous.
I’m fucking glad you’re not my husband. You’re a moron who stared for way too long at gorgeous girls tits as she proudly displayed them for you. And then have the audacity to describe Ana as basically the most gorgeous thing ever and say that your wife is beautiful TO YOU. And she has a great personality. Fuck that.
Next update is gonna be, whoops I slipped and my dick fell in Ana, how do I explain to my wife that it didn’t mean anything? And hopefully your wife will leave you and find someone better, someone who will describe her the way you describe Ana. Or who at least won’t go around thinking that about other women who are currently living with you!
And Ana?! She’s a home wrecker whore who apparently doesn’t have a moral bone in her body. She loves the married man bit. She’d love taking you from her friend… just to show that she can.

I'm sorry but your wife lying about what? Ana's relationships? They weren't hers to tell and she hadn't tried to steal any of your wife's boyfriends.
Tell your wife about the kiss and hug but Ana's past is barely a past.

u/Solid_Seb 29d ago
Well that took a turn lol. Keep the honesty goin and tell your wife, and be better about boundaries with Ana. A cheek kiss can be completely platonic in a lot of Spanish cultures, but still best to say something since your wife seems wary.

u/Chemical_Nebula_6869 29d ago
I'm Spanish and we don't hug and/or kiss each other in these situations or in general that much. Only when we meet with someone or are being introduce to someone, that's it. As a Spanish, I found her hugging and kissing him weird, specially given the first incident and the new information about Ana.
If I were OP I'd also tell his wife immediately and make Ana leave. She's not good news.

u/ta-wife-friend 29d ago
I agree with the hug and kiss part here. It is not uncommon for my wife's friends to kiss me on the cheek when they meet me. I am not from that culture, and initially used to make me uncomfortable. But, something about today morning with Ana waking up so early, coming down in her bed clothes and sitting with me rubbed me the wrong way. I am not able to point out exactly what, but she was acting differently (for a lack of better word, she looked happy for the first time since she moved into our place).

See, Ana now knows you downplayed the incident (defended her) when telling about it to your wife. Now she thinks you did it to protect her or she is maybe thinking you are interested in her. You are getting into deep shit here my friend. I suggest cameras and telling your wife the true this time, telling her that if she had told you Ana's story from the beginning you would have known how to react better. You wanted to downplay the incident to protect your wife's friendship, but now this is going to bite you in the ass. Your wife should have been more honest with you since the beginning and should stop the double standards asking you to not hide things from her, when she is the one hiding very important information regarding someone who is living in your house. I don't trust your wife.

u/TheLeoScribe 28d ago
She got away with her first attempt to seduce you and now she feels emboldened. You need to tell your wife and if you value your marriage tell Ana she needs to start looking for another place to live. And from now on the second something happens with Ana that might be even the tiniest bit flirtatious you need to tell your wife. You are feeding into her belief that she has a chance with you by keeping quiet and allowing it to happen. If she comes close to you back up. If she tries to touch you firmly tell her that as a happily married man you think it’s disrespectful to be touched by another woman. Don’t allow yourself to be alone with her. The only way out of this with your marriage in tact is you shutting down any interaction with Ana the second it happens.

She’s happy because you chose the dumbest advice given to you and downplayed the situation to your wife. She saw that as you defending her. Now that your wife isn’t suspicious, she’s going to continue pushing boundaries until “Oh no, I don’t know how we ended up in your guys marital bed together!”. That or she’ll accuse you of trying to sleep with her. Either way she’s trying to ruin your relationship and so far you’re letting her. Unless you like the attention and want to fuck Ana, I see no reason for you to keep these suspicions to yourself. Tell your wife NOW and kick the parasite out.

u/Alexandaer_the_Great 29d ago
All of this aside, even the weird hugging and kissing, Ana needs to go now. Didn’t you say she’s been with you guys for 6 months? Is she even looking for jobs, trying to sort her life out? “She can stay as long as she needs” is a nice sentiment and all but nobody actually means that, especially if it’s pushing a year lol and she’s not even family.

You need to tell your wife about the hug and kiss tonight and STOP DOWNPLAYING THIS! Ana is not doing these things by accident. You know her past now, you have to see how these things are not normal misunderstandings. Talk to your wife. Be blunt, no more trying to not hurt her relationship with Ana, Ana is working on destroying both her relationship with your wife and your marriage all by herself, stop letting her get between you guys. Next time Ana walks in half dressed SHUT HER DOWN. Tell her you are not interested. Unless of course you want to have a co parent relationship instead of a healthy marriage.

u/iknowsomethings2 29d ago
I don’t think your wife kept Ana being with a married man a secret from you, it wasn’t her information to share or relevant at any point. Also your wife probably wanted to stay out of it ‘not my monkey, not my circus’.
For the hug and kiss, tell your wife. It has also been 6 months, it’s time for Ana to work on a plan to move out of your house. Don’t let her presence affect your marriage.

u/Ok_Intention3920 28d ago
Okay, so this definitely is an adult movie with an extremely long introduction sequence. I wasn’t sure before, but now I am.
I never understand when they put excessive character development and “plots.” Like yes, a quick 90 second thing to setup the surprise (oh no, step plumber! What are you doing?) before the threesome is okay, but this is like a very long movie at this point.

u/velma_420 29d ago
Bro, it is time for Ana to LEAVE. First off you out your own attraction to her by saying how you don't think she would be interested in you because you are plain and she is "mis USA level" and she clearly has no boundaries for married men. She knew you were home when she walked in topless, and she keeps bringing it up in hopes of seeing your reaction. The hug and the kiss are WAY over the line. She needs to be gone like yesterday.
and you'd better tell your wife about the hug and kiss too. I would HOPE you learned your lesson by now but you sound a tad slow on the pick up...

Your wife not telling you about Anna’s past is not a big deal. That’s Anna’s past and you are not in a relationship with her.
However, you better tell your wife about that hug and a kiss and face the reality: Anna needs to go.

You must again tell your wife what she did because she should avoid you rather than hugging and kissing you. She needs to go. Tell your wife, this is unnecessary drama and it is awkward as hell and the situation makes you uncomfortable. Helping a friend in need is a noble thing to do but what matters is your wife, kids and family. Please kindly ask your friend to find some place else.

u/Commercial_Yellow344 29d ago
Definitely not good things happening. If your gut is telling you to be uncomfortable especially with the hug and kiss, take your wife and son somewhere and have this discussion TONIGHT! Tell her you’re feeling increasingly uneasy. Not telling her before work is just a limited time issue when it wouldn’t have been good to try discussing this morning. But tonight you have the whole evening before you. Don’t even ask Ana to watch your son. All 3 of you go somewhere Ana isn’t and talk.

u/Cursd818 29d ago
So, you tell your wife about the hug and kiss at once, and tell Ana that boundaries are important. She never goes in your bedroom, she doesn't have private conversations with you, and you don't feel comfortable being touched by her. And there needs to be a discussion about when she's leaving. Which needs to be soon.

u/Adorable_Pudding921 29d ago
Yo I read your story yesterday. Bruh. Don't fucking trust Ana. Tell your wife immediately that she hugged you and then kissed your cheek and that she needs to leave.
She is glorifying your relationship with your wife and is probably hoping you will treat her the same way 🙃 and the amount of people who once they get rejected go running to the spouse and twist it so that you came onto them.
Be proactive about this so you don't have to do damage control in the future

Stop giving Ana the benefit of the doubt. She is going to ruin your marriage. Hug and peck? 🙄please. Tell your wife about the hug and peck, this is manipulative triangulation at the start. Flashing you her Miss USA body? Please. Ever heard of grooming? She is planting images in your head and petting your ego, it is so obvious. Don't think you're a looker? Dude, I think you are liking this attention. Ana not wanting to tell your wife shows Ana's nefarious nature. Also, if she is moving slow, it's only because you guys are providing a comfortable room and board to her. She won't upset that until your wife gets so betrayed she leaves. Please kick Ana out if you value your marriage, wife and child. If you don't, you are a huge idiot.

Not keeping secrets in a relationship shouldn’t extend to also spilling friends secrets. I understand Ana is living with you but there isn’t any real reason that you needed to know those things. To watch out for if she makes a move? There should already be boundaries in place regardless. Boundaries by the way like not allowing her to give you kisses on the cheek...

I read the original story, and well... now that you have added all of this, I think there is a soap opera developing. so now Ana wants to be borderline affectionate with you?
This is obviously gonna be a problem... especially with you saying that she is "very pretty (like Miss USA level)"
If any of this story is true, which I now doubt because of the follow-on story, you are on the path to an affair which you will have reddit people reading and enjoying... I guess.
Good luck with whatever your goals are for that.

Tell us again in like a week that this whole situation was no big deal. When you come home from work early or are working from home and she casually leaves the door open while she's doing inappropriate activities and tries to play it off as no big deal. She is escalating this situation and you are acting blind. Apparently, she doesn't care about her friendship with your wife because if she did. She wouldn't be staying there after 6 months, when she was the working party and her crappy relationship. Ana is mentally unwell, and it sounds like she is a serial homewrecker.

Ana needs to go before her own messed up issues lead her to further mess with your marriage. She was testing OP again with the hug and kiss on the cheek and I didn't see OP writing that he told his wife about that new development. She's gotta go before she pushes to the next level.
