Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

Okay, so my friend hooked up with this guy. I don't know him very well, but I know his cousin.

Friend= "Lyn" (She's one of my close friends too)
Friend's bf= "Mike"
Friend's bf's cousin who is also my friend= "Brendon"

(Obviously fake names)

Okay, so Lyn hooked up with Mike and now they are boyfriend and girlfriend. I am friends with Brendon. Anyway, Lyn told me about her and Mike being official. I started talking to Brendon about it, because he and Mike are pretty close. Mike didn't tell Brendon, and got pretty mad at me (I'm not in contact with him, so he told me through Lyn) He said I shouldn't have spread it, because it's no one else's business.

I apologised several times, and told him how I only told Brendon, because they are cousins and close, so I assumed he would have known. I also told him I had no intention on spreading it or telling everyone, I just was discussing it with Brendon because I thought he would have known. Mike doesn't care and is still mad at me for 'gossiping'

What should I do? I'm thinking of just letting it cool down and wait until he does tell the news to people. I'm not friends with Mike, so I'm not too bothered. I just feel uncomfortable that he's really mad with me over a tiny mistake.

Lyn didn't care at all, she was just concerned that Mike got mad at me for telling Brendon.

I share Lyn's opinion - why would Mike care if you told Brendon about it... If Mike likes Lyn, he should be happy that he's dating her & should want to spread it around.

There really isn't much of a reason for Mike to be upset about it.
Anyway, all you can really do is just let him cool down and chill out. You already apologized for your gossip, so you don't have anything else to do.

It's not that big of a deal, really. He just needs to put on his big boy pants and grow up.

(Rating: 5) Thanks :) Yeah I find it quite weird, my boyfriend was so happy to tell everyone we were going out :S Lyn at first was bitchy towards me for pissing him off, but yeah now she sees what I see.

Meh, her problem not mine.
