My best friend from my 20's got married the year after I did. I'm not sure if she got married because I did, or if she felt she was getting old, but she married nonetheless. He was six years her junior. I never liked him. You know, I was the displaced best friend and he was the younger loudmouth guy who wouldn't keep his opinions to himself. She began cheating on her husband by the second year of marriage. Now, as much as I didn't like her husband, I didn't exactly cheer her on or anything. I actually felt bad for her husband. Last I heard, he never found out. Not a clue. Not even a wink of suspicion. She did it with some of the doctors at her work in the broom closet at the hospital, and the electrician who rewired their house IN THEIR OWN BED, and lord knows who else and where else. One time I asked her, "Don't you feel bad about (her husband's name here)??" And I never heard from her again. Not a word. End of friendship.

Anyway, my question is this: How bad are things that one needs to cheat so early on in the marriage? I mean, if she'd been married for longer, then maybe I could understand the restlessness. But two years? I mean, you've just barely left the newlywed stage! Maybe she was regretting a hasty decision? Maybe she was insecure and wanted reassurance that she was wanted?
