About a week ago, we had a small gathering for the Kimbo Slice
fight. It was cool. There were about 4 couples
there. One of which is Nina and Tate. Nina works with my girl
at her job, Tate works close to my job and we're really good
friends. He has even asked me to be his best man at their
wedding. I accepted.
So here we are, at the party. All are drinking
and having fun. I made some killer hot wings that made the
party that much better. Little did I know that night,
Nina was checking out one of the other dudes at the party.
This dude--who came with my girlfriend's girlfriend--is a relative
unknown to our little click of friends. He lives in another
state and is here on work. But was invited because this girl
is feeling him. He's a low-budget boxer, so we call him
Boxerboy. This is who Nina is checking out.
Two days ago, my girl tells me
that Nina f--ked Boxerboy! I am pissed! I always knew
in my mind that Nina was a trick, but of course it's not my place
to say that to Tate, who--in my eyes--is a stand up dude who is
head over heels in love with Nina.
Now how do I stand at an alter with this
man (as his BESTMAN) and not say anything about what I
know? I would want someone to tell me! I know this
thing can go a thousand different ways, all of which are not
good. I'm very conflicted about this. If I weren't
his bestman, it wouldn't bother me as much. But this is a little
too close to home. On one hand, I promised my woman I
wouldn't say anything. On the other hand, I have my dude
Tate, who bestowed the honor of BESTMAN upon me.
HELP!!!!!
Lines have to get crossed and
someone is going to get hurt. My problem is how do i minimize
the damage? I told my woman, "you should have never told me
this!" But she says she told me because when the s--- does
hit the fan, I'll point my finger at her and say, "you knew this
s--- and didn't tell me???" (she's right!)
Please,
spare me the smartass statements about "mind your business!"
because that's not the real world. In the real world, we know
eachother's business because we care. And in this matter, I
do care what happens...

Report AbuseSAve this friend of yours...now!!! Tell him the truth now, because she will do it again and by the time he finds out it will be, too, late. The fact that she never came clean tells me that she does not see the severity of her actions and those people are usually repeat offenders.

Report AbuseI think that before you make a definite decision on whether or not to tell Tate, you should talk to your girlfriend first. She is the one who told you and without her you would have never known. AND if you go behind her back and tell him anyway, then u better be prepared to suffer the backlash in YOUR OWN relationship, because your girlfriend may get very upset. You would be putting your relationship in jeopardy and her friendship with Nina in jeopardy. And in the end you may end up looking like the bad guy. And you dont want that. It is nice to see that you are a very loyal guy though. So FIRST things FIRST......talk to your girlfriend. Let her know that she has put u in a difficult spot with ur friend and u feel like u owe it to him as his bestman to be honest with him.

Report AbuseI would say go ahead and tell him. He oviously trust and respect you because he made you his best man. Tell him before he says i do to this girl who really doesn't care. He deserves someone better. It will hurt him but in time he will heal and relized that you did him a huge favor. He really needs to know.....sooner rather than later.

Report Abusegeez you are in a bind! you need to tell your girl that if it was her she would want to know! and you need to tell your friend. he has the right to know what he's "marrying into". she's a slut & he should know.
besides, if he finds out later that you knew & didn't tell him, you'll lose him as a friend & his trust. not worth it. never let a girl come between ya'll.
and now that i think about it...you might want to give some serious thought into WHO YOU'RE DATING!!! she told you what happened, yes, BUT she also told you NOT to tell your friend! so...how can you really trust her? does that mean if she slept with another guy & told one of your friends not to tell you, then it's ok???
not saying that your girl is like that at all, but it's just a thought.

Report AbuseI think you should talk to your girlfriend and let her know what your intentions are. I think that it is going to blow up no matter what but it is only fair to warn her first. Think about this, if you tell him, do u think he is going to believe you? If he is head over heels for this girl Nina like you say he is she may be able to spin her way out of this and you and your girl will really like like the fools. Think about it, good luck!!!

Report AbuseIf this guy is any friend of yours, you need to tell him immeadiately. His future will be completely screwed if you don't. Take a few cases into consideration. One, she does it again, he finds out, he is heartbroken and has to get a *divorce* which emotionally hurts him deeper than this would, and furthermore ruins him financially. What if they have kids? I assume they don't know, but if they are married and have a kid, this is a bomb waiting to explode and blow up the family.
For the sake of his future and preventing deeper damage, have some beers and talk to him about it.

Report AbuseBefore you decide on telling your friend or not telling him, why don't you tell Nina you know? Let her try to explain what she did. Then, if she slimes around trying to either lie about it or gives some lame excuse, just tell her you are having a hard time deciding about being in their wedding and wait for her response. You can tell her you want to talk to your friend but wanted to talk to her first. Then, if you decide not to be the best man, just tell your friend you can't do it and when he asks why...tell him to ask Nina because she knows why.
Let her be the one to admit to screwing around on him and suffer the consequences of her actions.

Report Abusehonestly, if i was you i would try to talk to the "boxerboy" and tell him that you know what happened with him and Nina, and that he needs to tell Tate so he doesnt spend the rest of his life with a cheater! none of us would want that. If he refuses, then i would make a HUGE announcement in front of everyone and make them both look like idiots for doing that to your friend. you need to save him!!!

Report AbuseBe a bestman, and tell your boy what happened. I also have to agree w/ the comment above about your girl. If she is willing to support this, then there is no telling what she has lied to you about.
Remember...bros before hos.
