I agree you cannot allow another persons actions to ever influence you to change your values! Be proud of who you are and stand tall by your decisions no matter what another may say about them!

Hello monishavakil, What made her keep it secretly from you? You should ask her that question. I think she must have a good reason why she doesn't want you to know. If it is just a small matter that can be forgiven, you should give your friend a second chance. Furthermore, she already asked for your forgiveness.

If it is a common friend then what is the problem? Is it because you both made a deal to leave this friend off limits? Maybe it was hidden from you because they wanted to keep your friendship. Real friends are hard to find. I would consider everything and the people involved before making a final decision on staying friends.

It's not a big deal to be upset about this matter. How come she is sorry about it now. How did she get to know, that u knew about it. By the way, y do u feel so upset if she is going out with ur common friend? If she is going out with ur bf, then of course, u have reasons to be worried about. There are somethings which are kept within themselves.They don't tell anyone, even to a best friend, husband, mum or dad..... Some people are open minded about all matters, but some feel that they need some personal privacy even if they have many friends around them.... That's...........HUMAN NATURE

I do not think best friends should ever lie to each other, however, I am also not seeing the big issue here. Whey did they feel the need to hide it? It seems like there is much more to this story that we have not heard from yet. If they were just keeping dating on the quiet side to see if they really had feeling so something that simple like this question makes it seem then yes you definitely should forgive her. Some people like to keep dating private until they know if they really connect with another person. Yes you are close friends, but they do still have a right to privacy to make their own persona and intimate decisions. No one is perfect and everyone will make mistakes sometimes. Every person in your life will hurt you at one point, that is what makes us all equal and humans. Sometimes we think a bit too selfish, sometimes we don't use common sense, but that doesn't mean we are bad people it means that we are simply human with a margin for error.
