    My situation is a bit complicated with someone who I called a best friend and my now ex. I just found out a little over a week ago that she has been sleeping with my boyfriend for who knows how long, and I found this out through his phone with pictures and texts. He is out of my life completely without a doubt now but it’s her betrayal that hurt me the most. To make this even worse, she is engaged with her boyfriend of 6 years and she has me up as one of her brides maids. I have been debating between I should speak with her fiance and tell him, talk to her but how or just not doing anything at all. I’m really hurt and I feel so betrayed, to have lost two people who meant a lot to me is really just something I don’t wish to anyone.

    What a mess you are getting yourself out of! Good for you. 🙂 I’m very sorry for your pain — this is a double betrayal by both your friend and your boyfriend. My advice, however, is not to tell her fiance that she was cheating on him. I know it’s easy to want to do that and it seems like it might make you feel better because you’ll have revenge and the truth will come out — but don’t do it. Take the high road. Opt out of her wedding party and her wedding. This is not someone who is your friend or who has good character and it’s going to be a waste of your time to continue to enable her behavior. Just walk away from the mess that you were a victim of. Get your own life back on track and keep the mantra that[i] living well is the best revenge[/i]. Don’t stoop to her level — just walk away with excellent manners and be the class act that you are. 😉

    Losing him is one thing you already closed that door. But losing your best friend, the one you trusted, the one who was supposed to be on your side… that kind of pain makes you question your own judgment.

    Here’s the truth nobody likes to say out loud: a woman who can sleep with your boyfriend while planning her wedding isn’t your friend, and she’s not someone who suddenly grows a conscience because you call her out. She already knows what she’s done.

    As for her fiancé… you don’t owe her protection. If you tell him, you’re not being messy you’re giving someone a chance to make his own choices with the truth. If you don’t tell him, that’s okay too. You’re allowed to walk away without cleaning up their mess.

    Let whatever you choose be the thing that gives you a little more peace, not more pain.

    Come on, you just lost two people who were already betraying you behind your back. They weren’t your support system. They were your liabilities, and the only reason you’re shocked is that you believed their performance instead of watching their behavior.

    Your “best friend” wasn’t just disloyal. She was deliberately, repeatedly, shamelessly sleeping with your boyfriend while planning a wedding and asking you to stand at the altar as a bridesmaid, like some twisted joke she was in on and you weren’t. That level of deceit isn’t a mistake. It’s who she is. And you’re still debating whether to protect her, confront her gently, or keep her fiancé in the dark. Why? Out of loyalty? She incinerated that.

    You don’t owe her silence. You don’t owe her protection. You don’t owe her a soft landing. She made the mess. She gets to live with the consequences.
    As for her fiancé? He’s about to marry a woman who has been cheating with her own best friend’s boyfriend. If you stay quiet, you’re helping her destroy someone else’s life the same way she destroyed yours. That makes you complicit. Brutal, but true.
