Would you sleep with your friend's spouse/partner?

There is something of a taboo about sleeping with a 'friend's spouse'. It is kind of in the same league as sleeping with a sibling's spouse or partner. There is always heart ache and loss for one party. So why does it happen? Recently, papers were awash with stories of Simon Cowell's baby from Lauren Silverman. As I was going through the papers and some comments, people were mentioning the fact that Lauren was the wife of a good friend of Simon's.

Simon Cowell’s is a blessed man. He has all this money and friends. To top up his blessings, He was blessed with an adorable son. So what is the news about this? Well, the mother of his baby happens to be the wife of his very good friend.  So today I am blogging on sleeping with your best friend’s spouse. We hear and even witness these kinds of stories on a daily basis. One celebrity that this sort of thing happened to is Underwear tycoon Michelle Mone. Her so called confidant/employee Samantha Bunn, 31, whom she invited into her home, made her part of the family ended up having an affair with her husband and is now with her husband.  Awch!!! That must have hurt!!! Ok back to Simon Cowell, he is pictured always surrounded by beautiful women. I am sure many of them would have wanted to have his baby. So why sleep with is friend’s wife with whom he hangs out with and goes on holiday with? (I am not in my judge and jury outfit by the way. Just wondering lol). Only God knows the hurt and betrayal Simon’s ‘so called friend’ is enduring. I mean, the thought of his wife having an affair without protection.

Many friends and acquaintances have similar stories of such happening to them. The friends that they trusted most with their lives ended up having affairs with their spouse and becoming their partners. So, is this a case of not trusting any friend with one’s spouse or not even entertaining friends around one’s spouse? Should the fault lie on the spouse or on the friend or both?  My next question is what sort of friend betrays their friend? I know some people will come out with valid reasons for affairs like ‘Oh we fell madly in love’ etc. Why with your friend’s spouse? Do you have any friend that you trust with all your heart? Could you trust them with your spouse? Has such thing happened to you? Have you been tempted with your best friend’s spouse and have actually had an affair with a friend’s spouse?
