I was in an ackward situation once where this guy was leading on this girl, while he was secretly going out with one of my friends.
We were sworn to secrecy.
At first we didn't know the girl so it was no biggie.
Then we got to know her, she became our friend, and it was awful.
We wanted to tell, but were 'not allowed'.
My best friend and I dropped as many hints as we could - the most ridiculous, biggest hints you could imagine, and yet this girl didn't pick up.
She just trusted him so much, she thought that since he was her best friend he would tell her stuff like that, but he was really an egotistical jerk and just basked in her adulation.
She would sit there talking about how wonderful he was and how much she liked him and how she thought something was goind to happen soon.
We said "no, it's not" - "trust us" and everything we could think of without breaking our promise.
Finally we issued him the ultimatum - tell her or else we would.
He did, but neglected to tell her that we'd asked him to.
A year past, and in conversation this came up, and only then did she realise we'd told him.
But the damage was done - she'd thought we were her friends, and we hadn't acted like it.
We'd sat there listening to her talk about him and kept quiet because of our promise.
We let her get hurt, instead of stopping it early, and doing the right thing.
And she now feels she can't ever really trust us again.
She is still friends, but you can feel it's not the same.
She knows that we are not the friends who she can rely on to look out for her.
If I could do it all again I dont know what I would do.
I think that even if we had told her we might have got the cold-shoulder, shot the messenger type of thing.
But even that would have been better than knowing she trusted us and we lied by omission.
And it went on for too long, and she found out too late that we did fight for her to know the truth, the damage was already done.

I have been married almost 32 years and my wife has acquired a habit of
playing bingo and going to the boats and playing the slots. To the point
where I have been neglected. Numerous times I have gone to bed at night by
myself and waken up to be by myself. My needs, wants, and desires have been
so neglected that I finally resorted to looking elsewhere to have them
fullfilled. I am 55 years old and realize we only have so many years and I
have joined a dateline to meet women looking for the same thing I am. I don't
have any guilt feelings because I feel if she cared for me, bingo and the
boats would not come before I do. Even when she's home, she feels if she
gives me a quickie, that's all I need. Being an affectionate person, I need
much more than that. I have had some very enjoyable times.
