writes:I'm a pretty liberal person, so am not trying to be the morality police, but am worried about my friends and am being burdened by this knowledge. One of my friends (Friend A) has been in a casual but exclusive relationship since January, with the understanding both are being monogamous due to healthy/safety concerns. Because either can end the relationship at any time, Friend A checks in every so often to make certain they both are maintaining that. Friend A's partner always says there is no one else and the relationship is good.Friend B is married but separated, but entered an exclusive relationship in July. In March, she met Friend A's partner at work and they began spending intimate time together. They continue to do this even though Friend B is in an exclusive relationship.Unfortunately, I have witnessed this with my own eyes. The Partner has told both Friend A and Friend B the same nonsense, pleading to be with them, promising honesty, expressing disdain for cheaters and claiming monogamy, etc.Do I tell Friend A what is going on? What about Friend B's partner? They both are innocent parties in this ridiculous soap opera, and I fear for their safety/health. What should I do?

 Which friend do you value more/ that should be a hint as to who not to tell. THEN, try to put yourself in each of their shoes and see what the upside to knowledge of A and B's wierd behaviour becoming common knowledge. Will there be gunshots? and will there be anamosity towards you from A or B? Once you've evaluated this the answer wil be much clearer than the question. Lots of Luck to A B and you.
