    Issue Regarding Others Cheating
    please keep anon i know people on here.

    if you knew about someone who was cheating on their other half but didn't know the other half at all would you still tell them? they have a right to know but it coming from someone who theyve never spoke to or met before may be even more insulting

    these people are just friend of friends and i know its none of my business. i feel very sorry for them though that theyve been cheated on and dont have a clue whats going on. is it best to tell or leave it to ignorant bliss hoping the other will one day admit their mistake

    I'd tell them through a medium which I couldn't be tracked.

    Knowing them or not knowing them isn't a factor that should concern somebody when they know somebody is being cheated on. It's the absolute lowest of the low.

    Nope. If I've got no connection to someone I don't feel like I have any responsibility for their relationship. Depending on the circumstances (and the friend) I might suggest to the cheating friend that they're making a mistake and they're likely to cause problems down the line, but I wouldn't go behind the back of someone who is a friend to talk to someone who isn't a friend about what they're doing. If I had a friend who did that instead of confronting me first if they have a problem with my behaviour, my opinion of them would be dramatically reduced.

    Send an anonymous letter if you know where they are (i.e. address, dorm room, flat, etc). Tell them through a trusted friend from a different set of your friends? Or send an anonymous email?

    I've decided that this issue shouldn't concern me, as I have no connection to the people involved, just a friend of there's. I know she knows about the in's and out's though, and that at the end of the day it is her decision on what to do. Sadly, it's her friends who have cheated, so she'll probably stick on their side. But that's not my issue, that's hers, and one that she'll have to live with if she chooses poorly.

    Takes minutes and you'll be saving someone from ruining any more of their life with a cancerous piece of ****.

    Coming from someone who was the person that "you don't know" finding out my then girlfriend of 2 years was sucking the fat out of a lot of guys sausages was devastating. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't 100% glad that I found out, imagine wasting years and years of your life with someone like that. Do it, it's the right thing to do.

    I know that if someone was cheating on me and someone knew about it, I'd want to be told. No matter if I knew them or not.

    Luckily I managed to speak to the girl through my friend (also her friend) and she is telling her boyfriend tonight. Better to come from her.
