I have been cheated on my my ex-husband and to be honest if anyone close to me knew and did not tell me I would certainly feel betrayed by them. I mean yes of course ultimately it was my ex-husband that cheated and I would deal with it accordingly but I would feel cheated on twice if a close friend or family member knew. Now if it were coming from an associate or a distant someone I may or may not believe them. I know some will say “stay out of their business” but they made it your business if you caught them cheating. I get wanting to protect peoples emotions and feelings but how can you live with a lie or knowing the person cheated and knowing the other person doesn’t know. I would rather lose a friendship or family member for standing on truth then holding onto a secret or lie.
I understand the pain, Sherry. I appreciate your comment.
