OMG I cannot believe the advice I have read in this thread! This board is going to hell in a handbasket!
MORALS, PEOPLE, MORALS!
Be a friend to Dan & tell him. It's the RIGHT thing to do, and deep down you know it.
REAL friends have each other's backs. They don't just sit by and say nothing!
Again, jock, how great it would be if in the real world friends could tell someone something like that, they'd believe it, confront their lover, and it would all work out.
But what would you do if you had loved someone for seven years and trusted them completely, and then your friend Adam told you he saw your lover making out with someone at a party? Not having sex, but making out. No proof, but just saw him at a party where other people were, but no one else will confirm?
Now, not to down Adam at all, but you as his friend know that he has on occasion gotten a little too drunk at parties himself, and he has been known to have sex with many of his gay friends (as Adam himself relates on another thread). Are you likely to believe him? When you confront your lover and he denies it, who will you believe? The friend, who the lover will most likely immediately try to discredit, or the one who you have invested seven years of your life with, and who you have now publicly heralded as practically a saint who would never cheat on you? In essence, if you believe Adam over your lover, then your recent proclamation of fidelity in public makes you look stupid and naive.
Adam didn't say he caught him having sex. Could Adam perhaps better serve as a friend to Dan by just keeping out a watchful eye in similar situations to see if it happens again? Maybe by blasting Kyle if he ever sees him doing it again--or perhaps pulling a few others into the room so that there are more witnesses?
Or maybe Adam might leave well enough alone, since he doesn't know if Kyle has actually had sex with someone behind Dan's back, and then just be there for Dan as a friend to lean on if Kyle ever does go the distance and destroy the relationship.
