What if you fell in love with the romantic partner of your friend, will you act on it and betray your friend or just do nothing and let your love slip away?

I think friendship comes before romance. There are many other people on earth that we can choose from. Okay, agreed, love is something that happens and you really can't help it. But thats where your integrity came in. You can't be that selfish. Your commitment as a friend comes before. If you betray your friend then you can't be trusted with any relationship. Friendship is to be cherished. To find a good friend in this world is far more difficult than to find a romantic lover. Stick by your friend. You'll be respected by all including her/his romantic partner

I think if I am forced to betray my friend for the sake of my husband, I would do it. I love my husband more than anybody else in this world. But it has to be a forced situation, if not I will try and find other ways to solve the problem.

it was not atually the situation that happened between me and a friend but similar to that. i have this guy who's about to court me but i cant give him permission yet because by that time i havent tought of having a bf. and there was a friend of me that is very please to have a boyfriend. i thought she just wanted to know him for me but then we found her acting strange....its some kind of showing affection to the guy and even our friends can say that she is trying to seduce the guy...i dont want her to know that im thinking this way to her so our friends do the honor of confronting her.... we were expecting her to deny it but with our surprise instead of it she turned mad with our friends and thought that they were betraying her agaisnt HER happiness and i, as an insecure.. what the hell.. i hate it....

No, i can't do that to my friend especially if this friend of mine is true and very dear to me.I will atleast avoid that man than to lose a friend. There are many man around, but there will be only one true friend that will come along.

No, I don't think I will betray them. It's impossible. They are very important people for me.

Why not? it's a good way to test your friendship... Hehehe... Not to mention the fact that it could also determine if your loved one was really for you in the first place. And for the argument of Love over Integrity, they are actually on two opposite ends. Love let's people go, while Integrity holds dear to whatever it is that's left of you after you've been abandoned and double-crossed (by your friend). It's actually good if you get the facts straight from early on. You get to know who your friends are, and you get to find out if your partner is really the right one for you.
