The Dilemmas

The Dilemma

Just watched the movie "The Dilemma" and it brought up the question...would you tell your best friend if his/her boyfriend/girlfriend was cheating on them? I don't know who wrote this movie but Vince Vaughan could have save himself a lot of trouble by just telling his bf about the cheating. He went out of his way to get any form of proof. Sure the wife said it was her word against his but if she really was cheating then it shouldn't matter. When I asked friends they all said absolutely! Here's the other dilemma....would you tell your best friend's significant other if your best friend was the one cheating? I think that's a harder question.

Personally, I think of my best friend and absolutely would tell her any information I had. I would initially go to her boyfriend and give him the chance to come clean. Should he refuse I would go to her. I would do this for everyone I care for, family and friends.

Now for the other dilemma....hell no! I mean I love my best friend's boyfriend but it's not my place. Here's the thing, I have several couple friends and I care about both sexes very much. If the man or woman was cheating I would confront the cheater and if it came down to it...tell both. But if it came to my best friend and having to air her dirty laundry I don't think I could. Not to say I would condone it, approve of it or see her in a different light but I love her enough to keep her secret.

I asked my best friend and she would absolutely tell me. I know she would, and I would probably believe her. She also said she wouldn't tell my husband if i was the one cheating. It's always nice to know we have each other's backs.
