"bestfriend" is cheating on her man....do I tell him?

Someone who I've considered my bestfriend for several years is cheating on her boyfriend (who is also my ex from many years ago in high school). I'm not talking just emotionally. I'm really starting to distance myself from her not only because of that, but because all she does is lie to make herself seem.. 'cool' I guess ? idk but were in our thirties, and it's all too corny for me. She's tried throwing him under the bus and talks about how awful he is, but it's nothing that horrible. I'm starting to think she's settled down now and bored and wants everyone against him so she feels better about cheating. She's always bashing him and talking about leaving him for the guy she's cheating with. She'll bring the guy over to my house because we ALL are friends. Talk about messy. I'm just conflicted because I genuinely think her boyfriend needs to know so he can make informed choices. But how!?

Her boyfriend tried adding me on snap a couple years ago and I never replied. I'm considering accepting it to get her blood flowing a little. šŸ™ƒ is that childish? probably. but this guy stepped up for her and her kids, gave them a home, etc. I just feel horrible. and it's all happening practically in front of his face since he knows the guy too

Steer clear. Donā€™t get dragged into it and donā€™t let that new guy into your home. Iā€™m so sorry, thatā€™s such a messy situation and Iā€™ve had a friend who did this and it destroyed our friendship group completely (we all knew the husband for years and loved him and she destroyed him and made people choose sides). Morally, I would distance myself from her too if I were you. Disloyal people who lie will drag you into it and take you down too. Keep the high ground, donā€™t play dirty but just step away xx

Iā€™d add him back to make her uneasy šŸ¤­

First of all, thatā€™s not your best friend. All Youā€™re gonna do is the make situation messier by involving yourself. Just distance yourself completely if thatā€™s how you feel and let her know why.

If youā€™re going to end the friendship with her anyway, Iā€™d tell him and block her. What sheā€™s doing is cruel

@Angel I just hate too much confrontation. but it's definitely cruel. it's basically in his face but she defends it bc her and the other guy have been friends for years. she brought him to their house after a night out and the boyfriend drove him to go get his car!!! like what!? but it's always "oh that's just *insert guys name here* he's harmless" šŸ« 

He deserves to know, put yourself in his shoes. But I wouldn't go without some proof. And unfortunately, I'd tell him out right in person and then block that friend as she's clearly toxic. If he chooses to stay after that, that's his choice, but he still deserves to know.

Have you told her that what sheā€™s doing is absolutely fucked up? How did she take that?

Avoid at all costs, I wouldn't invite her round either especially if the one she is cheating with is there as well. Have you spoken to your friend about it and how you feel? You may loose a friend but she may also need her eyes opening as to what ahe is actually doing and going to loose

High school me would but grown me wouldnā€™t.

Sheā€™s playing with her life at this point because she did what?? Took her side man to the home she shares with her man, made him drive the sideman to get his car and gaslit him by making out theyā€™re all just friends and itā€™s innocent? Some men would literally kill a woman over this.

Iā€™d say you should be honest with her and tell her how fucking low she is and sheā€™s a scumbag and he deserves better !!!!!!! But idk about telling him Iā€™m like yesssss tell him but then Iā€™m like idk but Iā€™m leaning more on telling him because say if you where in his shoes wouldnā€™t you want ppl to tell you

@Neena guuurrrl. I'm saying! my jaw hit the floor because the audacity

That's a tough situation to be in. It's understandable that you're feeling conflicted about whether to tell him or not. It's important to consider the potential consequences of your actions and how it might affect your relationships with both of them. Have you had a chance to talk to your friend about how you feel about the situation? It might be worth discussing your concerns with her first.

Personally I wouldnā€™t tell but I also would not continue a friendship with someone who was cheating
