Its not yet happening to me that I saw my best friend boyfriend or husband cheating, but its happening that my friends know and saw that my boyfriend cheating while I'm here in other country thousands miles away from them.... I just found it when I call my one friends its Christmas eve that time to greet her and also ask her what news about my BF why his not response in my letter or nor call me.. Then she talk without thinking, its maybe she have a spirit of alcohol that time... for a year they hide for me that my BF is cheating not only once but twice.. So when I comeback home I ask them a big WHY and they cry when they say they just worry for what can be happen on me if I receive that news. So my co-mylotters what if you saw or know your best friend boy/girlfriend or husband/wife cheating? Did you tell her/him?

hmm u know y.. coz u wouldnt have believed ur friends.. if they told u that ur bf was cheating..... BECAUSE you love him.... when u're in love with a person.. no matter wat he does.. u think that he can do no wrong... unless u witness it urself..... and as i said before.... long distance relationships doesnt work out... coz u guys are sooo far apart that wen u dont see each other for long.. ur emotions tend to diminish.. and slowly u fall out of love.. I've seen this with my friend who were together for 4 yrs. but then he moved to toronto.. and slowly.. they just lost interest in each other..

Its not me, because when I hear that news I believe, because since I leave in our place, I preferred my self that it gonna happen... So, it is... I believe that every burden in my life, God preferred best of me... So He is.... Thanks my friend Merry Christmas

Well if I seen that my best boy/girlfriend or husband/wife was cheating on them, I am compelled to tell them, yes. I would rather tell the wife if the family has children but not without deep thought and pondering the possible out comes. I think it is only fair for the other to know the truth. I think that if the other were miles away, I would wait also so to not dampen the spirits of the trip and for the well being of the traveler as this type of news can be devastating.

Hi, If I found that my best friend boy/girlfriend is cheating, I will tell my friend about it. I will not tell directly but maybe I will give some hints. I think that telling directly will hurt my friend a lot. So, I think it is better not to tell directly.

As soon as I walk in, I would point and laugh! Then, I'd notice it was my girlfriend. So, I would definitely get violent right away. I would pummel the naked guy with my fist so he knows that it's wrong to sleep with guys girlfriends. Then, I'd call for an ambulance to clean up my mess and I'd flee. Honestly, not even joking. That's what I'd do.

If it was a friend I truly trusted, like my son's godmother, then I would have no reason not to believe. I'd be heartbroken if my husband ever cheated on me, and pissed beyond belief...and I'd most likely punch him right in the face. I'm not the "forgive and forget" type...just more of the "forget and move on" type. If it was a boyfriend and I hadn't been with him for a long time, I probably wouldn't care. It never really bothered me in high school. I usually just said whatever and moved on, because it wasn't anything wrong with me..it was something wrong with them that meant they couldn't be faithful. I could never trust someone who'd cheated on me, and if you can't trust a person, there's no reason to be with them.

well it would definately be a big heart break for me but i would like to go and confront him up face to face.... go right up to him and ask him for how long has this been going on and to tell the truth cos it really doesnt make anything more or less worse now.... but i would definately like to know the tiniest details regarding who he was cheating around with while going around with me..... who was the girl or rather girls maybe..... and then after knowing everything...though it would hurt me a lot.... i would finish everything with him.... break up never to look back ever.... even if i ever would see him in the future i would act like i dont know him..... and it definately would be very difficult for me to trust another man again or have a long distance relationship ever again.... currently i am too in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend but he is not in a different country but he is in a different state...... though the distance is really far away i can trust him blindly.... but if ever this blind trust gets broken then it wouldnt be able to get back to the relationship as before.....

I would say that "i'll cross the bridge when I get there". It may be a case ot case basis, if I am 100% sure that the person is cheating the I would be 95% sure that I'll tell my friend about it but if I'm not 100% sure of the situation then I better not, it might just make things worse.

I really don't know what to do if it will happen to me. I love my husband so much and I can give him everything and do anything for our relationship. Actually, I even give up my career for us, so when it happen I really don't know what to do. I might collapse or be out of mind. But,there is what you called FAITH. And that is what I am holding on now. I love him and I know he loves me more than I am in love with him.

If I saw that one of my friends is being cheated upon, I would probably do something to stop it, scold them, get some proof that he/she actually cheats on my friend. I know others might probably think that it is none of my business whoever they screw around with, but I´d make it my business if they screw my friends. I expect them to do the same. I know how that would feel like, being cheated. I would hate it if my friends knew and no one tells me. It makes me feel stupid, foolish, gullible. But at least I´d like some truth from those deceptions. And if my friends would keep a thing like that from me, I would not know who to trust and probably keep some distance between me and them.

Before my husband and I began dating, I was seeing another guy. My husband knew him, and knew he was a cheater. At this time I was just friends with my husband, very good friends, but nothing more. He never told me my boyfriend was cheating until after I already broke up with the guy. I asked him why he didn't tell me, he says because I wouldn't have believed him. He's right. I knew the guy was cheating already, but wouldn't face the facts. I pretended to think he wasn't cheating, and nobody could have told me different.

You have to analyse why they cheat. Life is not so simple. There are a lot of complications in life. When you need someone and that personis not there, then you look for alternater company to ward off boredom and then one thing leads to another and before they know it they are involved without ever planning some thign like that and then it becomes too complicated and then they start comparing as to who is better and who to stay with. then break ups and reallignments take place and so on. That is how life is. Life is dynamic and not static. Things and people keep changing.

yup the guy is cheating on you, if ur not married to him then leave him now, if ur married to him divorce him but if hes ur husband an ur not 100% sure u should first investigate. most guys once they cheated on u they will cheat again its obviuos from what uve said he's interested in her. i think u should talk straight to him and ask him face to face if he dosent want to be wiht you anymore but dont demand an answer right away tell him u diont want an answer right away. tell him ull give him 24 hours to think about it if he tries to tell u rifht away tell him no u dont want an answer right away tell him to wait 24 hours that way the guy will have time to think about it and itll be what he really thinks rather than just being rushed up or pressured even by himself

hello miamhae, If I saw anyone that I know that he/she is cheating my friend or anybody close to me, I will tell her/him at once. Indeed it will hurt her/him big time but she/he has the right to know. It's better to tell him/her at once than prolonging it. This way, he/she can adjust earlier and accept it in no time. They can be freed up and eventually, they can forgive and forget each other.

Well you cannot blamed them for not telling you. Maybe your bond is stronger than one little girl who is trying to come in between. If I have a friend whose special one is cheating on her I will take to the special one. I will see if he is still in love with my friend. I will assess my friend relationship with this guy. If it is that they were really closed and that they were not the type who always quarrel then I know that something is wrong and this guy need a reality check. If it is that they always quarreling then I will allow my friend to come and see what is happening and encourage her to move on. In my country they always say that when man and woman in problem no one should interfere because when these persons head is on pillow then they will both be discussing you and saying how fast you are. This is a true thing because when ever me and my ex boyfriend would quarrel in the evening it is us that laughing and playing because we always establish from the beginning of our relationship that we will not go to our bed in vexation. Anyway I think that your friends did the right thing. Season greetings to you.

yes I will. I'll never hide anything true from a best friend specially if he/she is being cheated w/ a loved one. However, i must do it tactfully and in a diplomatic way as much as I can. I may tell to check first the information I learned so that the person concerned must have at least a first-hand information in seeing it her/himself. Concealing such a cheating act is like tolerating it and it won't do any good as well.

I will tell my friend truly what happened.I think lie to her will never solve the problem,and I would rather she face the sorrow than escape.Sooner or later,she will know it and will suffer the depress.I will try my best to encourge she get out of the trouble.

I will not blindly tell my bestfriend about what I saw because it may be wrong. I prefer to talk and ask my bestfriend regarding the matter. It is a big issue to cheat on your lover, isn't it. But accusing people without knowing the truth is also a big issue for me. But yes, I will not 100% or more than that believe what he/she will tell me. I will keep on observing and updating myself on the issue. If I feel I have get enough information, I plan my next step on how to tell his/her partner. Best plan make the best result. Have a nice day. :)
