A 23-year-old woman has a close friend named Lisa who is the same age as her. They first met when they were only 5-years-old, and they’ve had a great friendship since then.
They also are part of another close circle of friends that includes 6 women.
Around 2 years ago, Lisa started dating a guy named Mike, who happened to be an older brother of one of the women in their friend group.
After dating for one year, Mike proposed to Lisa, and she said yes to spending the rest of her life with him.
“I began dating Mike’s best friend Luke at around the time of their engagement, we’re still together,” she explained.
“Around two months ago, Luke told me that Mike had cheated on Lisa at the beginning of their relationship and he had never told her because Mike was insistent on it being a mistake and swore he’d never do it again.”
“Luke begged me not to tell Lisa as Mike was now really happy with Lisa.”
Well, after she was told this jaw-dropping information, she struggled with what to do with it. Should she tell Lisa? Should she keep it a secret like her boyfriend had asked her to?
She absolutely knew that the right thing to do was to tell Lisa that her fiancé cheated on her.

Her hesitation with this though was that Lisa and Mike were so blissful together, she knew she would be the one to ruin that if she spilled Mike’s secret.
The other thing that bothered her was the fact that she felt she could not call Lisa and tell all of this on the phone; she needed to tell her in person.
However, she lives 4 hours away so it wasn’t easy for her to make the trip to see Lisa.
“I came back to our hometown about a week before the wedding, which was this past Saturday, and it began really stressing me out,” she explained.
“On Friday evening, when I’d had a bit to drink, I pulled her aside and told her. She was devastated but went through with marrying him anyway.”
“She’s cut me off saying a true friend would’ve told her earlier, told all of our friends to cut me off.”
“Mike has probably told her it isn’t true which isn’t helping. Luke has told me I was an a****** for the way I went about it.”
She’s worried that perhaps she should not have waited until the day before Lisa was set to get married to tell her this.
