Probably not a good idea because it will only make people dislike you. But I mean, she was the one cheating on her bf not you, if the truth got out it's on her shoulders. Do what you want but I don't think telling is going to make you any happier.

eh no I don't think it's just on her. I mean the responsibility to the bf is 100% on her, but the responsibility for not being shitty and taking part in an affair is on both. If you know the person you're seeing is taken and not in an open relationship, you're being a tool if you keep seeing them.

Not like the BNFs were married or anything.

Are you saying that marriage is the only form of committed and faithful relationship? Come on.

So it's only cheating if the person is married?

what? why does that make a difference? I mean I guess cheating in a marriage is (to me at least) a greater degree of awfulness, but is really awful either way, so I don't see how that applies here.

I guess I see the wrongness of an affair being that you're betraying and lying someone who trusted you. If the 'mistress'(for lack of a better word) didn't know the person that was being cheated on I don't see them as trying to hurt anyone.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-02 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
But if you know that you're fucking a person who is cheating on someone else, then surely you must know that you're hurting someone.

I thought it was pretty damn clear from this that OP knew someone was being cheated on.

I think thats a lot easier to say when you're not/haven't ever been in that situation. I can't speak for OP but when I was much much younger I was desperately in love with my ex and against my better judgement we hooked up a few times because she kept manipulating me into believing that we would be together again. I was so in love and deluded and after the 3rd time I put a stop to it because I couldn't keep getting strung along, but being "the other woman" was something I thought I'd never be and yet that happenned because my judgement was blinded by my feelings.

Again I don't know the entire situation with OP but just wanted to say it's not always as easier as "not being a shitty person" for the person in OPs situation.

I don't think think that's an excuse, tbh. I mean in your situation I definitely have sympathy for what you were going through as well, but being clouded by emotions is in the end not a good reason to knowingly go along with someone cheating on someone else - and I say this as a very, very emotional person. In the end you are still responsible for your actions and your part in it all, even if it's not easy.

(Also, maybe it's just me, but OP didn't sound terribly repentant here.)
