“You never really know what happens in a marriage,” says “friend.”
If this is how your “friend” responds to your disclosure of infidelity abuse, you need to find a new, true friend. This person does not want to face a difficult truth and is telling you their unwilling to be supportive of you.
Again, there is some truth to what they are saying. Some things are truly hidden in marriages. However, this is an unhelpful and dismissive response to learning a friend has been abused.
People make these statements in order to give themselves permission to ignore the cheating abuse.
Such is NOT the actions of a true friend. They are not very godly actions either as they serve to enable the abuser–i.e. the cheater.
