I need to get someone else advice on this.

should I tell my best friend that her boyfriend was cheating on her?

My best friend and I are close, so I feel bad. My sister came and told me that my best friend boyfriend has been cheating on her. Because they broke up but my best friend still like him and they may get back together. Because my best friend think he never did anything wrong. But my sister told me not To tell my best friend because my sister boyfriend is cool with my best friend boyfriend. Their not friends they have things they do together. And my sister told me not to say anything because my best friend is just gonna go back out with him. I said maybe So because she think he never did anything wrong. But the secret is, he's been cheating on her. From the start, he may have a baby coming and how he's sleeping with his female friend to use her car to get around because he don't have 1 and he also invite girls over to his place all the time. I think That's way to much to much not to tell but my sister said her boyfriend is going to be upset and I need to shut up?! I feel bad and confused, I don't know what To Do!?! Can u gave tell me of I Should tell my best friend the truth or let her get back with him?

I'm sorry that she did that but I want to tell but some ppl are saying its none of my business but what do I say if She comes To me hurt saying "Why is this happening?" I know she's going to be hurt but I think its better to know. But I will continue to be there for her. My other friend said if she find out that I knew and didn't tell just say "I wasn't sure, & it's none of my business!" And my friend was a Guy who said that. So Idk :/

ShiShisAdvice agony auntIf I was the one being cheated on, I would want to know...BUT wiser people have said "It is none of your business." Such a tough thing to go through. Just be there to help her pick up the pieces. My own sister kept my ex's affairs a secret, and I never forgave her. It's a bit evil if you ask me, as I could have come down with some deadly virus (but my "instinct" saved me). Honestly, I say tell, I would want to know.

Ciar agony auntYou're right, that is way too much to withhold from your friend. It was thoughtless of your sister to put you in this position. There was no point in giving you that information if you weren't supposed to act on it.

If it was only one minor indiscretion that came to nothing I'd say leave it, but this is a way of life for him. He's using a woman for her car, he's philandering with several others and he may have a child on the way. I say tell your friend, but be warned that she may not be grateful to you for it.

Give your sister a heads up that you're going to inform your friend. If anyone gets mad just tell them guys look out for each other and so should women.
