Today, I found out my best friend was cheating on her boyfriend. After confronting her boyfriend and showing him proof, he responded with denial and didn't believe me. Now my whole circle of friends not only think I'm trying to start a rumor, but that I'm a home wrecker. FML

if she's your best friend, why not approach her about it first? instead of directly going to the boyfriend

This is usually a lose-lose situation. Although, I don't know why you confronted the boyfriend instead of your best friend. She's the one cheating, and should be responsible for admitting the truth to her boyfriend.

You should have minded your own business.

you shouldn't have gotten involved if you didn't want that to happen

I'm just confused about the people saying the girl friend may have had a good reason to cheat..... There is never a good time to cheat on someone

Unfortunately a common thing. If you're ever in this situation again, just keep your lips sealed.

You did the right thing. If anyone knew my girlfriend was cheating on me, I'd want to know. (Purely hypothetical because I will be forever alone)

Getting involved in this is a no win situation.

The truth always comes out in the end. Be patient.

I have to disagree with everyone saying that OP shouldn't have gone straight to the boyfriend, for three main reasons. One, people deserve to know that their partner is cheating on them because it is a major betrayal. Two, cheaters rarely confess that they've cheated on their partner unless they are confronted about it. Three, not telling the victim of the cheater not only makes you party to the betrayal and lies, but also implies that you approve of the cheating. On a final note, I have to ask everyone saying she shouldn't have warned him- if you were being cheated on by your partner, wouldn't you prefer to know instead of being blind to the act and risking being exposed to STDs and other issues that can occur due to cheating?

I completely agree with you. Cheating is a horrible thing to do to someone. It would make sense if OP went to the best friend first, gave the ultimatum, best friend refused, so OP went to the boyfriend, and in the meantime the best friend went the circle of friends and told them that OP was starting rumours about her. I'm just saying it makes sense, not that it happened. But I'd want to know if someone were cheating on me.

In the case of she having talke to her best friend first, I agree with you 100%. In the other case, where she went straight to the boyfriend, I don't agree. Am I the only one that doesn't just loosely use the term "best friend"? And for the people saying that, if your best friend does something like that, she's not worth it, you obviously have never been in this situation. My best friend cheated on her previous boyfriend. We (her close friends) told her we did not approve and we gave her the ultimatum of telling him herself before the rumors reached her boyfriend (there were numerous ones and we tried to keep them down but we told her we weren't going to stick up for her any longer when we found out they weren't just rumors). She confessed. He forgave her. They still ended up with other people (and not because of the cheating, in case you were wondering). She's still my best friend. And to me, she's one of the best and most trustful people in the world, EVEN after she cheated on her boyfriend.

Why would you eat on your best friend?! You're lucky she didn't kick your a$$

Doing the right thing is never easy because people would rather shoot the messenger than deal with their shit. Sooner or later they will find out the truth. Until then just let it go. You told him and you provided proof - there is nothing else you can do so just get on with your day.

It just sounds to me like lil snitch is jealous. Even if she is cheating on him, so what?! That's her best friend. You don't run to her boyfriend behind her back and rat her out. That's not what best friends do. I'm not a cheater, but I cut my best friend of 12 years off and haven't talked to her in 10 years because she betrayed my trust. If she had a problem with her friend cheating, then she needs to talk to her friend, not he a lil c*nt

Cheating is literally one of the biggest betrayals of trust you can do. The other person likes/loves you and is trusting you to be honest and loyal to them. And you go and cheat? That kind of scumbag deserves to be ratted on.

Sure you're not a cheater? You sound like one when you are calling someone that tells the partner about cheating a snitch and ****. Maybe one day you'll get cheated on and know that the friends could've told you sooner and saved you from more heartbreak and loss but didn't want to be "snitches".
