[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With any close friend, I would be able to say “listen, people are speculating that you are sleeping with X. You might want to dial back how much you interact with this person. And just so you know, X mooned me while wasted at the last party (or whatever he did), so you might want to consider whether you even want to be friends with X. I have no interest in interacting with X and he won’t be on any invite list I’m in charge of.”[/quote]

This what I was insinuating in my earlier post about being a person of integrity. But OP doesn't actually have any interest in actually acting like a friend to this person. A true friend would alert her friend to the rumors AND the bad behavior of the rumored affair partner. She won't, because she's afraid of being cut out of the entire social circle. It's clear this person isn't actually someone she cares about.

Oh, and OP, no one is saying you should accuse the friend. Informing her that the TEENAGED CHILDREN have observed her behavior is actually important, and that's not the same thing as accusing her of anything.[/quote]
