Would you ditch your friend if you found out s/he cheated on your other friend devastating them?

[Anonymous]

Even if your friend did not ask you to, would you end your friendship with your other friend who cheated on them seeing how devastated your other friend is?

I don’t think either of my best friends would ever do that to someone for it to come up but if it did I would still choose them first. I have no problems telling them how wrong they’d be but at the end of the day they’re still my best friends

Most likely. But I’d probably drop a friend who cheated even if I wasn’t friends with both. How someone treats a partner is very telling on their character in general. If they’re able to betray/disrespect a romantic relationship with ease chances are high that that behaviour leaks into platonic relationships as well. Every girl I’ve been friends with that turned out to be backstabbing me were also not good girlfriends

100% I'm very anti cheating and i think in some cases it can inflict as much mental harm as murder.

If anyone in my social circle would cheat I wouldn't think twice about breaking contact with them, even if they cheated on an unknown person with an unknown person.

I would ditch her/him. You can tell me cheating is not business, but it is my business whom i am friends with.

[laurieluvsit]

I am very loyal to my friends.

If I found out they were mistreated for any reason that wasn't called for the perpetrator would be on my bad side for sure!

[WhitneySnow]

Probably I would but I’d want to hear their side of the story too

[Sasha0426]

Without hesitation. I don’t put up with people who hurt others for fun.

[HelpfulWoman]

yes. i don't have trash friends who cheat.

[jahaims]

I wouldn't be friends with someone who cheats.

[Wise4myage]

No, I would not end that friendship.
