The good news is that you can all 4 make a conscious choice that it will not destroy the relationship and that you will remain friends and work through all the emotional fallout that will come from this.

The bad news is you have forever impacted the dynamics of your friendship. You won't be able to look at each other in the same way again. I'm not saying that it is bad or good because I don't know any of the specifics of your friendship but your friendship is now different and those differences will have to be addressed. You will need to do a lot of communicating both with your spouse and with the other couple on how to deal with this.

There are a lot of potential issues with and only you will know what they will be and how you will need to deal with them.
