Glad to have found this site! Thank you for anyone reading.

I have a unique and precarious situation that I definitely need some help with.

My husband and I have been married for 5 years now and we have a wonderful relationship. No children and we are in deed best friends.
We threw a party at our place and had invited close friends and family, there was drinking involved of course.
My husband comes and finds me chatting with some friends and says quietly so no one will hear "We need to talk right now! We have a problem." So of course we head off to chat.
He tells me that my good friend(female) has just pulled him aside and confessed that she is madly in love with him and has been since she met us. I of course am shocked and speechless.
My husband and I talked about it for a bit, and she also told him that her friends all think he's just wonderful and would be perfect for her. (If I only wasn't in the way essentially)
Now my husband is a very suave and handsome man, he is a ladies man and always has been. He also treats woman right and likes to make them feel good and sexy. No matter the woman, he treats them all this way, but I think particularly tries to be that way even more so with the less than perfect woman. So the heavier or not so beautiful. He likes to make woman feel good about themselves. This friend is in that category, she is single and always has been, mid thirties and not your typical attractive lady.
Now a little back story.
This is not a long friendship, only about 1.5yrs old now, but it was a fast friendship between the two of us. I do not make female friends easily and of course I was thrilled to have a woman in my life I thought "got" me.
We met because I am in business with her mother, her Mother and I work closely together and the friend works for her Mother. So we see each other almost on a daily basis. This friend also has invested in our business monetarily.... We have debt to her.

So this presents a less than ideal situation and I am unsure on how to proceed.

Oh and this friend does not know that I know what she told my husband yet. This just happened and I am still trying to decide the best plan.
