If your partners’ friend cheats and your partner supports it... (wife, boyfriend)

[stormgal]

Question in the subject line: If your partner - husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc supports their best friend cheating on his or her partner - and lies to cover their friend, would that make you feel like your partner lacks character or morality? Would you care?

[PardonTheInterruption]

supports cheating and lies to cover it... yep sounds like a lack of moral character to me.

I’d wonder if someone’s out there covering for him, too. Or they “owe him one” now. Birds of a feather.

Depends on the details.

I would care because....he shouldn't be *telling on* his friend but he shouldn't lie for him either. I know he wouldn't, tho.

[MisterShipWreck]

Yes, it would really make me question their ethics, and my future with them. I have certain ethics, and expect to be with someone with similar ethics. IF that changed, I could not be with the person.

Honey, it ain't good.

[rego00123]

I wouldn’t want anything to do with that person personally. Friend or otherwise
Immediate lack of respect and trust

[hawaiiancoconut]

^yup, not good.

I think you need a new partner.
