I just found out that a person who was saposed to be my bestfriend was lying to my husband. she was telling him that I was cheating on him. The problem is she is also my neighbor. I want to confront her but she told my husband that if he told me she would deny all of it.
Another friend of mine and hers is staying with her cause his wife wants a trial seperation and now she is trying to break that marriage up. She broke one marriage up years ago and now she is working on mine and my other friends marriage.
She flat out told me to leave our mutual friend alone and now I know why.
Any ideas as to how I can confront her with out her denying it?

I believe I would confront her with my husband and ask her to prove it , also who is she accusing you of cheating with I have seen so many people like this..
Ask her for the information but have your husband with you who are you seeing ,when , how, usually when these type of people are confronted they buckle.

Wow that is one heck of a dilema.
your neighbour doesn't sound like the nicest person round infact she sounds like a bit of a head case, something must have happened to her in her life which has made her the way she is butyou can't let her ruin your marriage.
Sit down with your husband and talk it all over explain that you havn't cheated on him and never would do such a thing to him and then explain to him what your neighbour is doing to your other friend as well and if he's any kind of decent husband he should understand you and accept what you have said, you can then bounce ideas off each other on how to takle things with your neighbour.
If you are fearing for your other friend it might be a good idea to take her aside when your neighbour is out of the way and explain what is going on then offer your other friend a place to stay with you so that she can get out of your neghbours place and then maybe suggest that your friend takes a break and goes to see some family as it might do her good.
I don't know if any of that will help you at all but i hope it will.
good luck.

I have already talked to my husband and he understands that I am faithfull to him and always have been. My other friend(psst which is a guy) has no where else to stay and I have already told him what is going on. He isn ot happy about it and told me he would handle it and to just worry about my husband but he shouldent be the one to talk to her it should be me and my husband. I want to confront her but I know what she is goingto do.

She may well deny it, but I would confront her. How dare sdhe make up lies to tell your husband. Even if she denies it, she will knowthat you know the truth. After yiou have confronted her, dont ever speak to her again, & ask your hubby to not ever speak to her either.
She must be a bit weird, if she goes around breaking up marriages, jealous as well, perhaps.

Aargh what a friend. She's not happy in her life so she is going around destroying others? i don't know if she would be my friend for long. I'm not sure if there is anything you can do but confront her with your husband, even still she may deny it.
The way i see it is, if you and your husband know that she is full of crap, then I would probably stay the hell away from her. If you can get your friend to stay with you guys or go somewhere else, then that would be good for him. She might just succeed in ruining his marriage.
What is her problem? is she a loner? is she married?

She was married once but she left him cause he was a wife beater. There I dont blame her at all. Now she is a single mother of 3. The thing is she has ruined one marriage already years ago. I dont understand why she insists on going for married men and not single men. it confuses me. At least she has not made any advances at my husband or I would have to kick her a$$.

I had to laugh at your response about kicking her @ss.
I can understand if she has had a rough life with her previous marriage, and maybe this is her way of dealing with issues that may be still unresolved. Even still she could be envious of you because you do have a solid marriage.
I really don't know what else to say, but hope that it gets better. Sounds like your friend needs counseling.

i do not think there is any use in confronting someone like that. she seems like she believes she is doing the right thing breaking up people's marriages.
maybe you can expose her for what she is whatever media you have at your disposal. when people (community) start pointing fingers at her, then maybe (i mean MAYBE) she'll change.
you confronting her will most likely motivates her more since there is "something happening".
good for you that the only thing you want to do is to "confront her". thats the least i would do.

Hmmm i would see this as something that i can relate to. ma'am your idea of confronting is brilliant and i believe that this is the right thing to do. But here's what ive learned from a friend together with somethings that i have experienced.
-The truth is good. But sometimes it hurts... it really hurts.
- So you nedd to learn to say the truth with love. Say it in a nice way that the person wouldnt bang you up with the next thing that she would grasp in her hands.
- And while your saying it try to stay cool and dont get your voice too loud, like singing in a karaoke bar after a hard break up.
- Getting angry is fine, its normal for a person to get mad. Its like the reflex that you execute whenever you get your hand hurt, it is normal. Even Jesus christ himself got angry remember? But just remember to not fall for cursing and breaking the person's heart while doing that.
Well that is as far as i can remember, i hope i am able to help you. =)

Hopefully your husband trusts you and is not giving this lady's story alot of weight. If you were to confront her, I would suggest that you both confront her together. That will put her on the spot which she deserves to be. This lady is obviously not your friend and is definitly not your best friend. I would break off all ties and ignore her even if she is your neighbor. She sounds like nothing but trouble.
