What Would You Do?

[FoxesAreBlue]

Yeah, she probably cheating but what has it got to do with some random stranger I don't know.

And using it to claim his 15 minutes of social media fame is just pathetic and sad really.

There are 2 parts to this.

First: would you tell a stranger that their pregnant girlfriend was sending romantic texts to another man? I probably wouldn't get involved...

...but if it was the other way round would you want to know? I would.

Second: would you post your 'good deed' on the Internet? No, his attention seeking posts on social media just call into question his motives in the first place.

If a friend caught my missus cheating I'd want to know and if it was the other way round I'd tell him AND have the balls to confront her and tell her I was going to do so.

But some strangers I don't know? Based on a hunch? Fuuuuck that.

[MooseBreath]

Not really a hunch though is it. Looks pretty clean cut to me. Then again I suppose if you're falling for the 'gay best friend' thing then, well..

[Guest MattP]

I was going to say, if what he's put is 100% then it's a bit more than a hunch, looks pretty clear cut.

[Mike Oxlong]

I've signed up for a gay best friend training course. Guaranteed poon or your money back.

That's about where I stand in relation to this case, Captain.

 

Years back, I ended up with a similar dilemma - but involving people I knew well.

 

There were a whole load of us, male and female, who used to socialise together a lot. One bloke, a good mate, had a longstanding live-in partner who would be there sometimes, but who mainly stayed at home. We all really liked and got on well with her. Anyway, after a while, it became obvious that my/our mate had started having a fling with one of the women who was part of the social group - they'd be smooching a bit and exchanging looks, and he'd be staying over at her house sometimes, while his partner was none the wiser. I quickly felt really awkward about the situation. I never considered telling his missus what was going on, though I viewed her as a friend, too, but I did have a word with him to beg him to sort it out one way or another - either finish the affair or finish his original relationship (a couple of other blokes did the same, I think). Though, he was probably only being indecisive short-term, anyhow.

 

Funny thing is he chose to move to the new partner, but she ended up ditching him a couple of years later, while his original partner married one of the blokes from the social group.....but ended up doing the dirty on him with one of his colleagues, and dumping him!

He should mind his own business. It was nothing to do with him.
