Would you cover for your friend if they were cheating? This woman's boyfriend certainly tried to cover for his cheating friend…that is, until she found out about it. She posted her story to this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and let's just say that the people in the comments section were quick to tell this woman to get out of her own relationship.

 

The mentality there is that if he's willing to cover for a cheater, then he very well may be a cheater himself. Rather than preach to the choir here, I have to interject to say that this perspective feels a bit far-fetched. There are people on Reddit who will tell you to RUN from your relationship the second your partner uses your toothbrush. I definitely think the original poster and her boyfriend need to have a long private discussion about their friend's infidelity and where their individual and collective loyalties lie. But have the discussion before you up and leave!

    Font - AITA for telling bf's best friend's gf the truth? My bf and I were at his place eating dinner and watching TV and he gets a call. He says "hey Emma" (his best friend's gf) and says that Eric (best friend) is with him and they are out at his place. I was staring at him because Eric is no where to be seen and whisper to him what he is talking about. He glared at me and puts his phone on mute and tells me to shut up. I get pissed and as soon as he unmutes I yell that he's a liar and Eric isn

    Font - She hung up and he yells at me that it's none of my business and I demand to know why he is telling her Eric is here when he isnt. He refuses to say and just gives me the cold shoulder until today when the gf posted on Instagram they had broken up because "he's a fking cheater". He was covering for him while he was out cheating and when I showed him the post he just brushed me off and said it was none of my business. AITA for not keeping my mouth shut?

    Font - BrightFirelyt There is no excuse for infidelity. None. It's a choice that no one is forcing anyone to make and no one but the cheaters and possibly their affair partners are to blame for. I once immediately ended a friendship after learning that my friend had lost a group of friends before because she was 9 hr. ago . 165 deliberately the other woman with her best friend's boyfriend in high school and I could never look at her the same after that. I take loyalty and commitment way too seri

    Font - Betrayed_Orphan 11 hr. ago I agree NTA!! OP please look closely at all the red flags. If he will cover for a cheater, he will get others to cover for him if he cheats. It might even be a sign that he will actually cheat. He is angry with you for telling the truth and not going along with his lies. The fact that he was lying with you right there about him being alone with his bf, both diminished you and made you an accomplish to the lie.

    Font - You have every right to get involved when someone is trying to make you an involuntary accomplice to their wrongdoing. Run.. get out now, he is proving that he will not be the kind of person who is going to give you a healthy life partnership. 235 Reply Share

    Font - cottondragons. 5 hr. ago I came here to say the "none of your business" line doesn't fly, because by having this conversation in front of her, he makes her complicit in the lie. But you know what? I never even thought of this. He and his friend like to cover for each other's cheating, do they? Disgusting. 65 Reply Share

    Font - LuluLucy- 17 hr. ago Pooperintendant [54] You'll probably get a lot of "it's not your business to share" comments but frankly, a lie was being told in front of you, you were confused and called it out. I don't think you did anything wrong. Guess you know now your boyfriend is fine with his friends cheating and lying to cover their ΝΤΑ 276 Reply Share

    Font - Ghitit 17 hr. ago ΝΤΑ A person who would cover for someone else's cheating has low morals and most likely wouldn't think twice about cheating. Think long and hard about staying with someone like this. Reply Share 217

    Font - vivid_prophecy · 17 hr. ago Partassipant [2] NTA. Your boyfriend is a liar. He is also okay with helping a friend cheat on their significant other. And he got upset with you refusing to be complicit in his lies. You would be better served getting out of the relationship now. He has some questionable morals and likely won't be a good long term partner. 132 Reply Share
