She's been shaken up by it, but has asked me not to tell her m friend who lives, like, 10 mins away from her because he's working nights at the moment and she doesn't want him to worry. Another of our friends (f) is going to see her tonight. I don't know her m friend too well, but I know he'd want to make sure she's ok. What I'm wondering is, if you were me, would you tell him? I'm thinking of asking him how his week is going, if he's busy-if he's v busy, I won't mention it, but if his Nights are going ok, I wonder if I should just ask him to call round and see her? What would you do? Thanks so much. x Reply to this Question

Being broken into is a really horrible feeling I know... Instead of telling this male friend, why don't you stay at hers for a few nights if possible.
Help her make her home more secure by going down to the locale DIY with her and helping her pick out an easy to assemble safty lock, chains or bolts... You can even get little battery powered alarms that you can stick to the inside doors of her house.
Then Distract her by watching films or going out for a drink, what ever she's into. Try to take her mind off the incident.

 No, I would not say anything. Your friend has expressely told you to NOT say anything to the male friend, - she is a thinking,reasoning adult, so please do her the courtesy to trust her judgement even if you do not quite share it.
