Writer's Block: Things You Don't Want to Know
Question: If you knew that a friend's significant other was cheating on him or her, would you tell your friend the truth or keep it to yourself?
Answer: Personally, I think being such a loyal friend I'd likely tell my friend what I know (since obviously I'd want to know, too). And to be completely honest, if they were really a true friend of mine they'd believe me because there's no way in hell I could ever lie about something like this to them. I'd have too much of a guilty concious myself to even consider the concept of lying about cheating and whatnot. However, if this so called "friend" was someone that I really didn't associate with or didn't care much about I probably wouldn't tell them as I wouldn't care about as much as what happens between them. Know what I mean? I know I sound a bit like a hypocrite, with wanting to know myself, but yeah. I suppose that's how it is with me. Maybe I'd go ahead and tell someone else about it and let them deal with it. At least the weight would practically be off my shoulders about it. >_>
