“She swore it was just physical attraction stemming from getting attention, and it wouldn’t go anywhere. I told her to appreciate her solid relationship and not let fleeting attractions mess things up.”
Then, a few weeks later, Eve called her drunk and anxiously admitted she kissed Steve after a work event. Eve was devastated, regretted it, and didn’t know what to do.
She told Eve to get home safely, calm down, and gather her thoughts. She encouraged her to think about what she really wanted out of her relationship with Adam and speak to him about what she had done with Steve.
“A couple weeks later, Eve is fully convinced that the best course of action is not to discuss the incident with Adam and try to work on figuring out her issues with a therapist,” she recalled.
“This is because Adam wouldn’t tolerate [cheating] and would walk out of the relationship the very second he [found out]. She knows it was a one-time mistake, but Adam doesn’t have reason to believe that, so she’d rather take this incident to her grave and save the relationship.”
This put her in a very tough position, especially because she has a visit with Eve and Adam coming up. It hurts her to know Eve is lying to Adam, as she cares about him, but she also values her friendship with Eve.
She feels it’s not her business to tell Eve’s secrets, but at the same time, she doesn’t want to be a part of her lie to Adam.
What do you think she should do? Should she tell Adam about what Eve did, or wait and see if Eve decides to tell him herself?
