Should I stay friends with someone whose morals I don’t respect?

[MissPiggy2025]

A girl called Megan joined my work a couple of years ago. She was very shy but really beautiful, and management clearly favoured her. We were both up for promotion, but despite my experience, she was fast-tracked and I was overlooked. Later, I found out she’d had a relationship with a manager, which explained how she got ahead. I felt hurt and a bit betrayed, especially as I’d even defended her when rumours were going around.

Over time, we’ve ended up in similar life situations and recently started talking more. She’s opened up to me and seems quite insecure and wanting the same kind of settled life I have. I’ve been kind to her and we get along, but I still can’t fully get past what happened at work. I also worry she might be a bit of a social climber, so I’m unsure how much I should trust her or let her into my life.

When I say relationship she literally just hooked up with a manger to get a promotion

Wow. That was interesting, but especially beautifully and succinctly said. Nice job.

I'd be wary too. Unless she describes, in quite a bit of transparent and open detail, about how that relationship came to be, and what, exactly, her feelings were to him... then you've probably got to assume that she did it to social climb and further her career.

Doesn't sound trustworthy to me. Sounds like high chance of trouble.

Saying she had a relationship is maybe me being polite. They literally had sex and that was that.

She was 21 at the time the manger was 37. I think the manger is equally as disgusting and shameful if not more then her but they are both consenting adults.

she's was very open about what she did and wasn't ashamed about it but now she's got herself a nice man i think she's suddenly trying to be something she isn't and more of the tad wife stereotype so she can get a ring on it

Yikes.
What an opportunist.
Doesn't seem much point continuing interacting with her. She may use those same motivations for other means, with you.

Often it is not what you know but WHO you know.

[MissPiggy2025]

Thats what I worry, why is she so keen to be my friend.

[ZameerAnsari91]

I think you should play safely, don't let her deeply in your life, just like a normal friend

I would not trust her. I would not want to be friends with her.
