I stupidly told one of my "friends" who my other friend liked when I know I shouldn't have and he promised not to tell anyone. We have had a fight and he is threatning to tell her that I told him. I know it was a stupid mistake, but I can't take it back. I don't want her to find out or I might lose her as a friend. What do I do?!? Plus, I thought I could trust him. I feel as if, I can't trust anyone anymore. He was one of my good friends and now it seems like I can't even trust my friends.

So you're just gonna have to move forward with this. This isn't gonna be something that will last forever so just think of it that way. You know never to tell that guy anything else. I think you should just tell your friend that you had told him her secret and apologize. She might be mad but that's ok, she'll come around. Everyone makes mistakes. Just be honest with her and it would make it easier if she already knew that finding out from your "friend". Good luck! [ lightoftruth923's advice column | Ask lightoftruth923 A Question ]

as for your situation, i think you need to stop talking to him because the more you talk to him, the more likely you will get hurt and things will just get messy and complicated. simply stay away from him because he isnt going to help. for your other friend.. i think YOU need to be the one to tell her. not him. you need to come clean and tell her the truth. if you think your friendship between you and her will end because she finds out you told him, then what do you think will happen when she finds out that you were hiding it?? in other words, dont think about how she will react when she finds out you were hiding it... but how do you think she will react when you COME CLEAN about it?
honesty is the best policy. be brave and tell her the truth. yes, she probably will be mad.. but she will also trust you more because she will know that at least you told the truth and didnt hide it.
