Is it right to break a couple up by leaking info?

...

 

I believe it would be ok to expose information to a friend if it doesn't benefit you in any way. If you try to break up a female friend in hopes of becoming her next boyfriend, that is wrong and it will probably back fire on you.

 

Man, I'd tell someone who I strongly dislike that they're girl is cheating on them because girls be triflin. If a friend of mine is cheating though i'm staying out of it and I don't know anything.

 

If you don't know the person you should stay out of their affairs. If it's someone close to you, that you know well, then you should be a good friend and inform them of what's going on. If their partner is cheating, sure it'll hurt your friend to tell them, but in the long run you'll save them a lot of time and hurt (especially if their relationship prolongs the hurt after a breakup will be even more devastating). If you know your friends partner is cheating and you say nothing, you are not much of a friend. If your mate disregards what you told him/her then just leave it, but as long as you told them. They'll figure out later.

 

It indeed has two sides I guess. Honesty should be in relationships for sure, but who am I to intervene in someone's relationship. Let's say the boy is a friend of mine and I heard the girl was cheating, for sure I'd tell him. But would I do so when my friend was cheating on her? I'm not too sure.

 

If it's someone I don't know that well, I would tell them. If my friend was getting cheated on, I would tell him. If my friend was doing the cheating I wouldn't touch that with a 1000 ft pole.

 

I've grown to not put my nose where it shouldn't be. That being said, if it's got nothing to do with me, then I won't say/do anything about it.

Though I will say; if my friend was cheating on their partner and I knew about it, I'd say something to THEM, not the partner. I don't like the idea of being the one who potentionally broke them up.

 

This is tough. For things like one person saying they don't love the other, I probably wouldn't say anything. That kind of thing usually resolves itself after a time.

Cheating is different. I think I'd let the other person know, especially if I found out I was hooking up with someone who turns out to be in a relationship. Of course you need proof - you can't just go on word-of-mouth. If the person decides to ignore your proof then that's up to them, but at least you tried.

 

If it were a friend cheating on someone I would definitely talk to them first explain that in my opinion what they're doing is wrong. If it was my friend who had been cheated on I would definitely let him know. I feel an obligation to expose cheaters if I'm perfectly honest.

 

If my friend was being cheated on by someone I didn't know very well I would tell the friend of mine being cheated on.

If my friend was cheating on someone (be it another one of my friends that they or dating, or someone I don't know) I would talk to them and try to do what I can for them if they need help with their mindset, but I wouldn't talk to the person they're cheating on.

There's a couple of close friends that I would tell/talk to regardless of who cheated on who. I've been friends with them for the majority of my life and been close with them throughout. I would trust their word over anyone else's and I'm fairly certain that goes both ways.

 

This is one of those tough things, very dependent I think.

I think it would be better to tell the person doing wrong that they should really rethink their actions before taking it to their partner, especially if children are in the equation. Cheating is terrible, tearing a family apart is worse (Product of a divorced family, my childhood could have been a special on E!)

 

I would personally tell them, as if they listen or not is another scenario. By not telling them I would just feel a bit out of place when I'm with them, knowing something that could tear them apart.

 

It depends on the situation...but if it's cheating then I'd definitely leak it to the one who has a right to know, because it's just plain wrong

 

When I was 16 my best friend wanted to see if his girl was a slut. He had heard stories and wanted to see if it was true. He asked me to try hitting on her and see if she went for it. 1 phone call and she came to my house, I ended up doing the deed and let my boy know. Even though he asked me to do it we ended up getting into a argument about it. We didnt hang out for over 2 months after that. When we did chill again it was never the same. Since then i prefer to stay the fuck out of peoples business. I'd only say something to a buddy if i caught their girl doing shady shit and that's about it.

 

If its a friend, I'd totally tell them. You'd want them to do the same for you I assume?

If its more so someone that you know, I'd just stay out of it.

 

I guess it would come down to how sure I was about the information, if there was any doubt that what I "knew" was wrong then I guess I would just stay out of it. e.g. hearing a rumor or such.

That being said I agree with a lot of people about not bringing it up if it's self motivated ie. wanting to take the place of the person you are trying to write off.

 

Mind your own business. Let them make their own mistakes. Its how you learn in life.
