If i know that one of my friends is cheating on another should i say anything?

Question

Two of my friends, we'll say Alex and Sam, have been dating for almost 3 months. I know that Alex has been in another relationship for almost 11 months with Kay who lives in another state. Alex and Sam don't know about each other. I'm the only one who knows about both. Should i tell anyone or should i keep my mouth shut?

Answer 1

I venture to guess that most people will tell you to keep your mouth shut and that it's not your business.  You'll end up being distrusted in the long run and lose some friendships.

However, what you decide to do depends on the relationship you've established with the persons involved.  Where does your loyalty lie and, if the situation were reversed, would you want to know about the affair?

Perhaps you can watch a movie in which infidelity is the conflict, then have a conversation with the person.  Bring up a "hypothetical" sitatuation and ask if he/she would want to know if he/she were being cheated on.  That might give you a clue as to what to do or not do.  Some people think they'd rather live in denial.  I can't understand that, but some folks can't handle truth when it's painful.  

Whatever you do, be sensitive and know that your relationships with everyone involved could seriously suffer.

Answer 2

You just need to ask yourself one question: Would you want someone to tell you if you were being cheated on? I hope I helped!!!

Answer 3

This is a tricky one,because what ever you decide to do,could backfire.

Personally I would Stay completely neutral and distance

your self as much as possible!

At least that way you will not become so involved.
