Default Would you want to be told?

If your significant other was cheating on you, would you want someone to tell you?

So many are advising not to get involved in others relationships, but I know for me that I would want to know the truth. Not knowing would be living a lie and I would want to know and make any decisions based on informed knowledge.

So, if your SO were cheating on you and your SO isn't going to fess up themselves, would you want someone else to tell you, be it a friend, family member, or the other woman/ other man?

I would want to know the truth. I'd prefer it through an anonymous notewith any proof or details of the situation.

Can this poll be just women only? I want to see what men say seperately

I would want to know, there are many men in this world and I'd rather unload the bad one and move on.

I don't think I would want to know. Rose colored glasses are great, there stylish, are above reproach through generations and the truth is the strong people are the only ones chosen to wear them.

We have Jackie O to thank for that.

Some people are worth holding on to.

I would want to know. It is my decision whether I want to stay with a cheater or not. I would have to say that I probably would stay with my husband, but I would be a lot more cautious. I love my husband very much and he is a very good man. I don't believe that he would ever cheat on me, but if he did I should know so that I can decide whether to stay with him or to leave him. It all depends on the lenght of the affair and what-not.

Yes, I would want to know. I've been the other woman, unknowingly, and I told. They weren't married, but were in a committed relationship of two years, most of the entire time he and I had been dating. We chatted briefly, woman to woman, and she told me he had cheated on her before and had sworn to never do it again. Obviously, he did, with me and other women, as it turned out. I don't know what she decided to do in the end, but she thanked me for the information and I felt better having outed the lying bastard. Guys like that shouldn't get away with their cheating.

Let's put the shoe of the other foot. If YOU had done something that you didn't want your SO to know about, how would you feel about the "friend" that blabbed to him/her about it?

I would be pissed that I had got caught, but if it's something like this, then why do my hurt feelings at being caught red handed matter?

Your question doesn't make much sense to me. The guilty one is the person who's feelings matter the least IMHO.

I would want to know the truth. I would find a tactful way to tell them.

I would want to know. Any decision I make in anything I ask myself what he would think anyway if we dont talk about it. So I dont think I would have to worry about being caught doing anything. I dont see him cheering for me to pork random dudes at impulse...

LOL

I dont know why anyone wouldnt want to know?
No person is worth lowering myself to warm hole @ home that cooks level.

s**** that!

My values are minimal. Dont cheat, dont steal, and dont snore.

You got those down we are OK

If not..you are just too stupid for me. Go pork a w***e that wants to share your crabs.
