And how do I choose and where do I draw the line
Between truth and necessary pain?

The resolution of the truth conundrum that results in damned if you do and damned if you don't, is ... Better that the cheater tell the spouse, if any telling is to be done. But if the friend simply must tell someone, better that the friend of the family tell the cheater rather than the cheated frie...

If you're a true friend, you'd let them know. The reason to tell them is so they know what's going on. What's the reason to withhold the information? I'm not seeing any. The reason is in the OP. It would destroy the family. Your reasoning that a friend should tell a friend because the friend is a t...

You've learned that your friend's partner has been unfaithful, an incident that's unlikely to recur and, if discovered, would destroy their family. Would you tell your friend? For a man with a male friend, stay out of the friend’s business and don’t gossip. Simple clean, no problem. Women are diffe...

No one is “preaching,” they are asking for basic dignity. It doesn’t hurt you to use chosen pronouns and names any more than it hurts you to call your friend by their preferred nickname. If your friend Richard doesn’t want to be called “Dick,” you don’t call them “Dick,” it is basic cordiality. I r...

Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon r...
