Question Posted Wednesday December 17 2008, 8:23 am
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.
if mike is getting really mad at you then soon it might turn into your best friend getting mad i think you should just leave mike alone because he ovbiously doesn't want to accept your apology,
but after 2weeks i would go back to mike and see how he is but make sure you don't mention what happend because it will make him mad again.

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.
