Outing a Cheater

Q: If you find out a man/woman is cheating, do you tell their significant other?

 

 

This is a question I have been chewing on for some time now so I decided to let our fans on Facebook weigh in on this issue, and here is how some of our readers responded.

Cheryl S - I have been the cheated on. I really wish that any one of the people who knew had told me instead of me thinking things were good for the 3 months before I found out. It was very hurtful and embarrassing to know that these people had known and stayed silent.

Jo R - It never worked out well for me when I told, and this has happened more than once.   Incredibly, the friends who were being cheated on got mad at me and to this day we've not spoken. And one was a friend that I grew up with.

Michael B - In general no. sometimes yes ;-)

Scott W – F**k’in right u do!!

Shahid B – Depends. If the significant other is a close relative or best friend yes, otherwise stay out of the mess because the cheaters usually get caught sooner or later.

Beatrice M - Tend to your own garden . . .

Laura C - Don't tell. Human nature is to kill the messenger.  In these damned if you do/ damned if you don't situations it is better to keep your mouth shut and only have the betrayed spouse someday hate you, rather than have them both hating you and the cheater stalking you for revenge.

Julie S - No, they need to clean up their own mess. If you trust your intuition, you can usually figure it out on your own.


Clearly, it’s a toss-up. If you want to pipe in with your thoughts, we would love to hear them.  So please join our conversation on Facebook to let us know what you’re thinking, by clicking here.
