Keeping a Secret

[Fenangel]

I need some advice... 2 of my friends (Boy and a Girl) are in a relationship and Sam (boy) when they were first going out cheated on her with another girl, he told me, and i promised i wouldnt tell anyone.

Katie (girl) knows that i know something, she wants to know and i want ot tell her, but i dont want to betray sam, i also dont want her to get hurt!

Nobody else knows except me and it is killing me keeping it from everyone, katie especially. I dont know what i should do...Should i tell her and break her heart and lose sams friendship, or should i stay quite and lose Katies friendship when she finds out i knew all of the time... I love them both equally and dont want to lose either of them!

What should i do?

Firstly how long have they being going out? Is it serious?
How old are you all..
Secondly he should not have put this pressure onto you, it is up to him to tell her and you must make him clear of that.
If you want to get it off your chest and tell Katie then so be it, it isn't her in the wrong.
If I was you I would tell him to tell her, either way if you tell her you know you still knew for a while and didn't tell her.
It really is upto him.

They've been going out for about 6 months... but i dont want to lose either of them...How can i do this without losing a friend?

You need to not get involved as much as you can.
Talk to Sam and tell him how you feel, tell him you think Katie has a right to know, and if he doesn't tell her then you will.
You are best off saying this face to face, explain to him your situation and that you don't want to lose a friend.
Tell him if you was Katie and she was you that you would want you to tell.

Convince him to tell her, if not tell her yourself. He will have brought it on himself.

I agree with Leon. It is the only right thing to do.

smartest thing to tell her. cuz shes ur friend.. but .. him as a guy.. should tell her himself instead of keeping u in the middle of this.

[Emmax22]

it seems like either way you might lose a friend. so i think its better that you tell katie so shes not as hurt. because shes gonna be hurt by him cheating on her plus you keeping it from her when you knew the whole time. just put yourself in her place. what would you want?

[sarahgirl_88]

true.. ur gonna be in a tough spot either way.

[Sweetest.x.Sin]

ell if they are intimate and he's been cheating, nobody deserves to be in a relationship with a cheater either way so I think you should just come clean and having a cheater for a friend really isn't such a great thing so big deal.

You should talk to Sam and tell Sam to tell Katie or you will. It was his mistake and he has no right to put you in that position. Katie has a right to know and if Sam can't tell her himself, he doesn't deserve her.
