A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

me and my bestfriend are really close, we share stuff and there's no privacy in between us cause we're open about everything and show each other everything.

so i was on her facebook looking at something she mentioned in class and i was in her inbox and came across a message where she's talking s___ about me.

it hurt a lot to see it and i cant bring it up to her because i don't want her getting offended about me reading it. even though i know she wouldnt really be but she'd act like it to make what i did seem worse then what she did.

so what do i do..

Confront her. Apologise upfront about invading her privacy, tell her it was completely unintentional.

And then ask her why she felt she couldn't vent her issues to your face.

You are best friends, you have earned that right at least.

birdynumnums agony auntThe best defense is a good offense, so like you said, she will make a big fuss over the "invasion of privacy" thing, but you already know this. I would argue that no matter how you found out, the fact remains that she was being two-faced and ask her which of these faces is true? Is she your friend? Ask her why she would spread gossip about you if she is?

One thing that you should be aware of is that everyone does talk about everybody else. I would assume that if a good friend was talking about you, that she should have your back and be talking only in generalities and not *dissing* (OMG, that's like So 5 minutes ago) you and not divulging any secrets, either. If she was doing that, then she's not a good friend at all.
