This is a scenario no one wants to be
caught in. It is like being between the devil and the deep blue sea,
except you are ‘bad belle’ and you have been waiting for the doom of the
relationship. However, you keep wondering which the lesser evil is:
getting involved in such a dicey matter by snitching on the guy or
letting sleeping dogs lie and watching a good friend suffer unknowingly.
Many
times it is because we don’t want to be the bearer of bad news that we
keep quiet but I must say that that is selfish. You don’t want anyone
pointing fingers at you so to salvage your pride, you keep quiet, pretty
much the same way people keep quiet when they know someone is being
abused because don’t want to carry the responsibility of being the
snitch. Snitching on the streets is a death sentence but when a loved
one is being hurt, I advocate for snitching like you can’t stop
talking.
No
matter how your friend loves this guy or devastated she would be when
she finds out, it is best she knew. They say what you don’t know can’t
hurt you but being turned into a fool and taken for a ride, only to find
out a loved one knew all along can hurt like hell.
Inasmuch
as it seems as if I am carrying a placard with the word ‘SNITCH’ boldly
written, I expect that it is done sensibly. This kind of truth is too
delicate for you to drop like a bomb. Give the guy a chance to redeem
himself, especially if he has been really good all this while. But if he
does not rise to the occasion by telling her himself and keeps cheating
then gently let her know.
Whatever she does from that point is her decision. Don’t fill her head with what she should do.
