unless you want to become a politician, NEVER GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS.

unless she already told about your shameful betrayal, tell the friend to keep it to herself or you might never let go of such juicy tidbits ever again (besides you might never get them again).

AND the bible does contain a part about something along the lines of "don't sit in the circle of the" ...err... s**t-talkers. So in a way LadyH is right.

any case, if they already know... hard luck, it'll probably blow over in due time, but you did betray the trust and if you feel up to it, you'll have to earn it back.

But rest assured we have all made THAT mistake repeatedly, and life does go on.
good luck to you.

In the worst case scenario you're as good as dead to them. You took advantage of their trust, and used it against them. It's the most horrible thing you can do to another. In some parts people of such acts are known as scumbags.

If you want your friends back, explain to them your mistake, that you'd never screw anyone over again, and it's a 2nd chance they'd not regret giving to someone. Maybe even teach them the same lesson.

You really shouldn't worry because you didn't do anything wrong. These "friends" that talked about your other friend shouldn't have been talking bad about her/him in your presence to begin with. If they're going to hate you because they made that mistake, then they aren't your friends to begin with. Any good friend in your position would tell their friend if someone said something bad about them. But then again, you have to realize some things aren't worth repeating because they only cause fighting. Find friends with less gossip & less drama. It's really not necessary, trust me. There are other things to worry about in life than petty fights & opinions of others.

first, you have to answer me/yourself a question: did you talk crap about her also? cause if you did, and your friends are gonna be hard on you.
regardless, your friends are going to be mad. no matter what you do, they're going to be mad one way or another. especially if their girls.

not only did they talk about her, but you talked about them when you told her all the stuff that they said about her.

im going to be completely honest, this wont be easy, especially since you weren't supposed to tell. but i think that if they were talking shit in the first place, and about their FRIEND, i think you need to reconsider if they're friends or not.

another thing is, even though i hate doing it also, you need to be the nice one in the situation cause they're not going to be the nice ones. they're going to ask you about it, and when they do, you better apologize right away. considering if they're good friends or not will determine if they accept the apology or not. you just gotta be as sweet as sugar and hope to god that they accept it.

for you and everyone else, i hope they do. i dont want you to loose friends cause of something this rediculous. =[
but im really sorry man. gossip world is tough, you just gotta know the limit to it.

Tell your friends that were talking about her, that you just felt she had the right to know because you're her friend too. And if they get mad at you, just make sure they know that they shouldn't have been talking about her in the first place. I'm sure the other girl appreciates you being honest with her.
