I think it's mistaken to assume you know what is considered cheating by other people in their own private relationships. Not everybody's standards are the same.Stealing jewelry is stealing. Having sex with someone else's lover is not stealing. Like I said, it would depend on which party I was closest to. And they would have to be very close friends before I would butt in.I see. So tell me something. If, instead of cheating on her, E and L had decided instead to steal J's jewelry and hock it, would that ALSO not have been up to anyone else to "decide right and wrong on"? I'm just curious as to what point you think you have a responsibility to your friends to protect them from being harmed. Myself, I would want my friends to be "busybodies" when it comes to protecting me.
Oh, okay, so causing harm mentally and emotionally is okay, but materially is a big no-no?
I'd call cheating a theft of trust, at the very least.
If J was a close friend of mine I'd tell her. If not or if both L and J were close friends of mine I'd keep out of it. If L were my friend, I'd certainly not tell J.
Mostly, though, I don't get too involved with the sex lives of teenagers.
