Right i had this happen to me but it was slightly different as i caught my friends girlfriend cheating on him with another friend and i was good friends with her also. So what i did was told her to tell him the truth straight away and gave her 1 day to tell him or i would tell him myself. She did tell him and he forgave her (FOOL) but then when he found out i new about it before him he went mad at me for not telling him myself. He didnt forgive me for ages and i though i was doing a good thing by making it easier by him hearing it from her rather than me or someone else. What do you think what would you do if you were in this same predicament. Im intreaged to hear eveyones take on this :p
thanks in advance

Oh yes, the best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men... Good old Rob Burns knew it. I guess, I would do the same as you did. Perhaps in a bit more gentle way, like at first I would ask her, what will she do if her BF finds out etc., and then suggest her to stop immediately or to tell, otherwise I'll do it. The alternatives are even worse. If you'd went straight to your friend and tell him, he's cheated he probably wouldn't believe you at first and maybe even begin to suspect, you want to have her yourself.

sometimes its better to mind your own buisness really,, I mean I understand its wrong but i see as if thier not hurting me really only hurting themselves , and besides its thier life and eventully the guilt will get to them if not hurt them,I stay to my ownself, I do not praise upon making someone miserable by doing such things, everyone is differnt and will do differnt things but in my own way, its not my place and would not take a chanece in ruining a friendship let alone giving them a reason to blame it all on me when to begin with it was thier fault!

well thanks for your view but i guess it wouldnt of worked like that as he found out from her i knew so regardless if i stayed out of it i still new and that in return would of made him worse he wasnt so bad after i explained my situation to him once he calmed down. I guess he forgave her but then looked for a skape goat to blame for his anger but i soon got him told LOL :)
THANKS FOR THE POST HAVE A NICE DAY

i dont knoe because in some cases your best friend just might not believe what you have to say or just not want to believe that she could be doing such a thing.

I think I would have went to her and kind of demanded she told him. Then I would have went to him and reminded him how much you value the friendship then suggest to him that maybe he should talk to her because you think shes cheating and you dont want to see him get hurt.

Hello camo. Knowing about some one cheating in this situation really put one in a bad spot. It's a case of darned if you do tell and darned if you don't You are caught between a rock and a hard place and no matter what you do, your friend is going to be mad at you.

yeh i kinda had that feeling but it all came out in the end as i made her tell him :p he had the right to know so it was either hear it from the horses mouth rather than the trainer :p
It was a hard decision to make i would of told him if she wasnt there or she never bothered :)

first of all, i would beat the crap out of my so-called friend, and break up wid my gf, and tell dem dat they dey deserve each other, i would never speak to any o them ever again, there is no way, i would wanna have a friend, a backstabber, or a gf who cant keep her pants on, while you are away.

I know in those situations you think you are doing the right thing but it is usually a case of killing the messenger. No one wants to feel like they have been made a fool of and I know being cheated on and having your friend find out before really makes you feel foolish. Also there is that anger when you think that other people might have known for a while and be laughing at you.
Either way I would still tell my friend and just have them be mad at me for a bit. I would rather my friend to be angry at me for being honest than have them find out through other means and be angry at me for keeping a secret from them. I know the fact that you know ALL parties involved makes you feel worse but really when someone does wrong like that they have to be prepared to get caught :(

Yeh i see your point but i had only found out mabey an hour before hand that it had happened as it was her that told me :p and she asked what she should do and i simply said tell him now or i will it was just like that. Ok if i had found out before that then i would have told him as soon as but she was there and i simply thought well she should bare the bad news as i hate it lol ;)
Thanks very much for your opinion i very much appreciate your thoughts on this :)
I hope you have a nice day

YES. I WILL,AFTERALL HE IS MY FRIEND AND I HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS WELFARE. I MUST WARN HIM AGAINST ALL ODDS AND SPEAK WHAT IS THE TRUTH,THE REST DECISIONS SHOULD BE LEFT UPON HIM,HE SHOULD THINK ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THE GIRL AFTERALL ITS HIS LIFE AND HE MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT IT TOO.

This is always a touchy situation. On one hand if you don't tell them and they find out they will be mad at you. If you do tell them they will not believe you and get mad at you. My husband and I talked about this. I personally would want to be told by my friend. My husband thinks if we know about it we should mind our own business. Especially if it was a one time thing. That all it would do would bring up bad feelings.

I would do the same as you did. Afterall he has a right to know but it's best for them to hear it from the horse's mouth (so to speak) rather than a friend. I think you did right to give your best friend one day and tell them that if they didn't do it, you would. Although I do think all the "your just jealous" would kick in, had it been the other way round and you having to tell your best friend.

I would definitely tell him in a manner that I do not hurt his feelings and at the same time not hiding the truth. Or Just give him a faint idea and let him discover the rest. If he finds out on his own, He will believe it more than believing what others say
