My husband was cheating on me with my best friend and I accidentally got him arrested…

I (31 female) am telling this story about my now husband (32 male) about 5 months after the truth came out. I feel the need to protect my husband and my relationship so I haven’t told my friends or most of my family but I have felt the urge to share my story because it’s quite insane so buckle up.
5 months ago, my friend stormed into my apartment first thing in the morning, he screamed through the place that my husband was a lying, cheating piece of shit and I needed to know the truth. At this point we had been married for over a year and, as it turned out, my friend was dating the woman my husband (then boyfriend) cheated on me with.
Turns out, the summer before we got engaged, my husband had a 3 month affair with a coworker of his (mid 20s female). The real kicker? The entire time by husband was encouraging me to befriend this girl because “we’re so similar and would get along so well.” Well he was partially right and this girl became my best friend for the next year. To the point that she lived with us for a couple weeks then moved into an apartment in our complex just across the car park.
I know now that the affair ended 9 days before my husband and I were engaged when they hoo

It’s shocking how betrayal can unfold in such a painful way, especially with someone you trusted like a best friend. I can’t imagine the range of emotions you must have felt, but watching him face consequences, even accidentally, must have been a complex moment for you.
