| If she finds out and finds out YOU knew and didn’t tell her, she’s never going to want to speak to you again. It feels like a DOUBLE betrayal. Anyone who knew and didn’t tell me, or aided in an alibi are dead to me. |
+1 Part of the shame in betrayal is feeling absolute embarrassment that all of these other people knew while it was going on and you were clueless. It’s the worst feeling. |
Along with disgust and horror that you were having sex with your spouse and unknowingly being exposed to god knows what all of that time…and having to go get tested. I was sobbing in the stirrups. It’s an absolute nightmare, but I always would want to know. The alternative is too awful not to know and take appropriate precautions for your health, finances and future. |
| Another vote for a burner email account and an anonymous email. |
And if she then asks OP after reading that email, Op must share her concerns. |
Yeah. That’s exactly why you keep your mouth shut. Forever. I can understand the argument for telling her. I disagree with it, but there’s like a reasonable view there that people can disagree on. However, so many of you are just very obviously getting horny and foaming at the mouth about the notion of creating some Big Drama. It’s gross. |
“Well you know, it does seem weird he did x, etc” |
NO. You took thAt the absolute wrong way!!! I was glad I finally was made privy. It would be worst for them all to be talking behind my back for 10 more years with me still in the dark. Duh |
+1 It feels like a stab in the back a “good” friend knew and didn’t say a word. |
+1. Drama llamas. OP, MYOB. Do not tell her. |
Someone’s health is at stake. You tell. |
Cheater, cheater |
+2 There's a bunch of bored women on here, desperate to stir up some drama. OP: MYOB, full stop. |
| I have a friend who found out her husband was a cheater - and later found out pretty much everyone around her knew. It was the worst way to go down, and she ended up moving out of the area because she was so humiliated. Personally, I think most of us would want to know. Tell her anonymously if you are a big wimp (no judgement, I would be a big wimp) but please tell her. |
| OP never came back…. Bored teenager? |
