Well, since YOU weren't the one to actually SEE THIS happen, I really don't think YOU should tell her.


I know the friend of yours who DID see her 'cheating' boyfriend might be 100% honest to you. But I just feel that you will lose some of your credibility if you go up to her and say, "My friend saw.." It's not that you would sound completely unconvincing, it's just that it wouldn't be as believable as if you yourself had witnessed an even like this go down.


If you told her, she would naturally confront him. He might say it didn't happen, or he was there.. but it wasn't the way YOU said YOUR FRIEND described it. I think all it would do is create negative feelings between your two friends, and a tiny little bit of distrust between you and the girl with the 'cheating' boyfriend.


If YOUR FRIEND told her, she's more apt to believe it. One, she was there personally and saw it with her own eyes. Two, what motive would this girl possibly have to break up their relationship, right? If your friend with the 'cheating' boyfriend thinks she truly loves this guy, it may be hard for her to believe that he would have the odassity to do such a thing. The possibility exists that she may turn on you. If she's sincerely a good friend, she should know better than to create negative vibes with someone so close during a time when she might actually need a sturdy backbone.


Of course, this is her boyfriend, and she has every right to know that he is being unfaithful. If this guy is infact cheating, then heartache is inevitably. If I were in your shoes, I would want to look out for my friend and do what's in her best interest in hopes of easing the heartache even to the smallest extremes. If you AND YOUR FRIEND tell her (together), then perhaps you need to stress the fact that it would be good for her to see it for herself. Just alert her of what you honestly believe is going on, and tell her to keep a strong watch on him, but don't hold him too close. It'd probably be a good idea to set him up, rather than confront him. You want to give him the opportunity to cheat. I know it might sound sneaky and unfair, but when you think about it from both point of views, I say she needs to know. The thing to remember is, if he cheated THIS time, he WILL cheat again. Eventually his luck will run out, and his game will be caught.


I found a few websites that might be of some help to you:

put it like this. would you want to be in a relationship with a guy who was cheating on you? of course not...and wouldnt you get even more mad if you knew that your best friend knew? you need to get it out in the open and off your cheast she probably wont believe you but she can now have reasons to suspect the whole situation...it's okay to tell friends those things, it actually saves them alot more pain!
