Here's the situation.

I have been close friends with this guy for about three years and within the past year we've become best friends.

However, he cheated on his girlfriend. I don't know her personally but she really does seem very sweet and she totally didn't deserve that at all. I don't think anyone does but she definitely didn't. Furthermore, she's been cheated on in the past and it absolutely broke her heart... She deserves to know. Really.

About a year and a half ago my boyfriend cheated on me as well. He sexted another girl but when we began our relationship it was clear between both of us that both he and I considered sexting someone you personally know cheating. Here's the twisted part of this... My best friend cheated on his girlfriend with the same girl even though he helped me through the aftermath and knows how much that shattered me.

I can't imagine being his girlfriend and she deserves to know, but we've been such close friends for so long... He's one of my only close friends in fact. Yet I can't imagine being her right now. Being forced to kiss a guy who cheated on me right after would make the kiss taste like bitter acid. Sleeping with them and LATER finding out they had cheated would make me feel used and dirty and awful...

What type of best friend would do that with the same girl who shattered my world? Do I protect my best friend of three amazing years who no longer deserves it or save his girlfriend who I don't even know but shouldn't have to go through this without knowing...?

Knowing he cheated right away the next morning was the only gift I had... Before another kiss. Before anything intimate... She doesn't have that...

ALSO.... Regardless of whether you answered the poll, if you have time please explain your answer or give advice as to how I should go forward with whatever choice you picked.
