Said Friend
Let’s say a friend, ok boyfriend, talks to you about someone, ok your friend, male or female, ok male, and says that he heard from a third party that said friend is "wild" and that 3rd party wouldn’t be surprised if said friend is trying to holler at you (me). Now what if this information is false, and said friend gave up on hollering at you 5 years ago when you(I) shut him down and has been dating another chick since then, but you (I) have still maintained a friendship that you (I) value very highly. Is it wrong for you (me) to share this information with said friend.

If someone, no matter who, boyfriend or not, says or hears something untrue about one of my friends, male or female, I think it is my duty as a good friend who values the friendship, to share this information with them. I feel like they need to know what is being said about them.

If your significant other tells you something that you find to be untrue about one of your friends of the opposite sex or the same sex for that matter, would it be wrong to share it with your friend? And never once did your significant other say this info was confidential. But you being the honest person that you are, tell sig. oth. that you spoke with friend of opposite sex, and told them about what was said. As a true friend, I feel it is my duty to tell you what people are saying about you, regardless of who told me. Why is that wrong? Well I got in trouble for running my mouth. Boyfriend is jealous of said friend.

Of course he is. And of course you aren't. Sorry, I got caught up in the random sentences that actually made sense. Of course the boyfriend is jealous, and of course you aren't wrong for telling your friend. I mean after all, he's YOUR friend. The boyfriend will be okay; they always are.

i'm disagreeing. its just messy. do you want your friend not to like your bf? b/c that's what that breeds. he's already jealous, now you'll get it from the other side. too much drama. men will be suspcious of male friends until they see there's no reason to be. i need to know who this friend is before i call him crazy. you would wonder abt a female friend if you didn't hear otherwise.

i agree with everyone, as strange as that is. it depends on you and your friend's closeness as to whether you should tell. but i think we all agree on the jealousy or he would have never brought it up.

i so couldn't follow that. i was trying to color coordinate and i'm still having problems.

based on the 1st paragraph, i wouldn't share info with friend from the past (said friend). i think BF is either jelly or just plain insecure abt your relationship with S.F. and no need to feed into possible tension b/c BF is telling you what he heard from someone else. see, too many people invloved already. do not pass go.

boyrfriend is definitely jealous, which is EXACTLY why he brought up th einfo he heard about ur friend in the first place. While not exactly feeling threatened, he may be worried.

You were right to tell, perhaps you should have explained this info about the friend trying to holler adn understanding it would never happen to the boyfriend also. I may have helped him feel better?
