A Decade of Friendship Comes to an End After Man Refuses to Cover for Best Friend's Cheating on Vacation: 'What happens in Rome stays in Rome'

Welcome, gossip goddesses. We've all heard the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." It means that when you adventure beyond your borders and end up in new territory, you should make an effort to adapt to the local customs. If you find yourself in the modern city of Rome and want to quite literally do as the Romans do and live like a local, don't order a cappuccino after 11 pm, don't ask for ice in your water, and don't cheat on your girlfriend of four years.

In our story today, our protagonist sees the true face of one of his closest childhood friends after years of friendship. Not only did this friend cheat on his girlfriend while on vacation, but he attempted to rope our protagonist into his web of lies. When OP refused, their friend group split into two, with one side enabling the cheater's lies and the other on the side of morality. Get all the details by scrolling down.

Being friends with someone for over a decade is commendable, but eventually, people grow apart. The attachment towards the friendship may blind you to how much things have changed, but eventually, everyone shows their true colors.

He might as well tell her. His friendship isn't even at stake — it's already crumbled and in the trash can (as it should be)!
