Question Posted Saturday November 27 2004, 2:21 pm
Well here's the thing, my best friend(23) has just recently gotten engaged. She has asked me(19) to be her maid of honor and I have said yes. But come to find out she has been lying to this guy(20) the whole time they've been together. I didn't realize what she's been doing until all of us started to hang out with each other. He's really nice and really loves her. But I don't believe she feels the same about him. She is what you would call a user. If you have something that she could benefit from she attaches to you and try's to get you for all you have. She has cancer and is getting a divorce from her present husband now, there goes her medical, this new guy is in the airforce and is form a family with money, (lots of benefits and can take care of her). My question is, should I tell him about all of her lies, cheating and sneaky ways or just leave the whole thing alone and let him find out for himself.

ManDA_Lee answered Sunday November 28 2004, 12:09 am: woah.. maybe you should tell him about it all.
he deserves to know she has cancer.. i have been there with family and close relitives if he doesn't find out now he will be more broken when she has an attack.... you should make the right decision. you don't need my help.

mysticpixie05 answered Saturday November 27 2004, 9:08 pm: I cant tell you what to do and expect you to obey. This is just my opinion. You have to look at it at all perspectives. If you were her would you want some one telling someone something like that. The answer would most likely be no. and the other side would be if you were a guy would you want this to happen to you? the answer again would most likely be no. so i can see how hard the decision would be for you. I think i would rather know about it in advance rather than finding out after it was too late. so maybe just give him some type of little warning about her in someway or another. But try as much as possible not to get your self in the middle of it. By saying this i realize that you will have made yourself a part of it but this way you wont be in the middle of it for say as much as if you were to tell him exactly how she is word by word infront of her and to break it off between them for him. This way just giving a little warning will let him see how she is and too notice the little things she does before they get married and too maybe set a date a little later than he had actually wanted just to get to know the REAL her. If he does realize for him self and see that she is all of what you say she is then he can choose whether or not he would really want to go through with this wedding.

hErEtoheLp answered Saturday November 27 2004, 4:40 pm: Woah, what a best friend. It doesn't sound to me like she's much of a friend if she does that kind of stuff. The thing to do would first talk to your Best Friend, and lether knowthat she needs to come clean with him, and if she doesn't, then you will. I mean, if it's your best friend you probably wouldn't want to lose her as one right? Well telling him without her knowing will do the trick. Try to get her to tell him first, he'd MUCH rather here it from her probably, instead of another person. [ hErEtoheLp's advice column | Ask hErEtoheLp A Question ]
KaJabbers! answered Saturday November 27 2004, 4:26 pm: i would have a heart to heart talk with your best friend. She needs to know that what she's doing is wrong! Not to mention all of the hearts she could break (and maybe already has). Hopefully you can talk her into apologizing to her fianse and never doing this again!

harvesterofhearts answered Saturday November 27 2004, 4:04 pm: I have to wonder why this person is your friend at all, let alone your best friend! You have nothing nice to say about her. According to you, she is a horrible, selfish person who fools people in order to get what she wants. That doesn't sound like a friend-- that sounds like someone you should stay away from. That being said, you are not responsible for her relationship with her fiance. He has chosen to get involved with a married woman, so he is already making foolish choices he is responsible for. My advice is that you say nothing to the fiance-- that's none of your business. What is your business is whom you choose to have as friends. If you can't trust this woman, why are you friends with her? Have some self-respect and get rid of this "user". [ harvesterofhearts's advice column | Ask harvesterofhearts A Question ]

SmoothiesFknRock answered Saturday November 27 2004, 2:45 pm: If I were you, I wouldn't try and get yourself in the middle of this situation. You can maybe warn him to watch out for her..but I would't jump to conclusions and tell him all the bad stuff about her. You learn when you have a chance to experience things; good and bad. This guy needs to find out for himself that this girl isn't being true. Plus- alot of the time you tell people things they don't wana hear and they will just ignore you. The best way to learn is from past experiences and finding things out for yourself. So just give this guy a hint to watch his back- and leave it there. Hope I helped!
