I will try not to rant, here are the facts.

I have 2 girl friends P & M. They are very friendly with each other and see each other regularly. I'm more friendly with P, see her daily-ish & see M fortnightly.

M has a boyfriend of several years called B.

7 months ago friend P kissed boy B. B and P both confirm that it was only kissing, but they did share a bed. They also shared a bed a few months later, but apparently didn't even kiss.

Friend M does not know about the bed sharing or kissing and in those 7 months friend P has continued to be just as friendly with M.

Fast forward to now and I now know about the kissing. I am very cross with P and B for putting me in this position as I feel M should know. It's also likely lots of other mutual friends know, so M is bound to find out IMO. They obviously don't want to tell her as it was 7 months ago, 'meant nothing' etc.

At the very least I feel friend P should stop being so friendly with friend M and I feel it's adding insult to injury. Friend P says, "I don't think it's bad to be her friend and it's not taking the piss out of her." she would also "like to pretend like nothing happened and move on - as [she has] done for 7 months."

AIBU in thinking it is shit:
1)of both P and B to even be kissing
2)for friend P to continue to be nicey nicey to M.

btw we're all 28ish, no children involved and friend P has kissed other boys when out who have GFs

keep out of it.

Normally, I would say keep out of it as it's their relationship BUT if B and M are currently not together because he kissed someone, you need to tell M. She is in danger of taking back this prat because she doesn't know what you know. As her friend, you will be looking after her best interests by telling her so she can decide how to proceed with her relationship.

She might hate you. But you might save her from an awful mistake, and she might thank you for it, now or later.

Tell her. You can't win now you know so at least be honest and let her decide what to do. You have to tell her, you will be doing her a favour. Who wants a mate who will kiss your fella behind your back or a fella like that anyway?! Tell her!
