I've name changed to protect identities - been here since 08 (Pom bears, naice ham blah blah blah)
Backstory: we all met when our kids started school together, I moved away a year ago but we've all stayed really good friends. Obviously they see each other a lot more as they live so much closer and they've spent a lot of time together recently.
One friend came to visit me this week and after a couple too many glasses of wine she's confessed that she's got a massive crush on our other friend (let's call her D). She says if she doesn't confess then she won't be able to stop herself acting on it, but we are all going camping in a few weeks and I think it's going to be really awkward and could all blow up then! I think I should prewarn D - AIBU? Wwyd?

Hmm. I still think that D should be warned - what would you want to happen in that situation?

I think you've had a glass of wine and are enjoying whipping up some frenzied drama. Stay out of it.

Redhair: wine was last night - just tea tonight!
I'm quite worried about A, this isn't like her Confused

If you don't say anything/don't want to say anything, and it comes up the friend had told you about her crush, you could just say "Oh I thought it was the wine talking!" or "Oh I could hardly remember what she said, just thought she was saying she liked you, didn't really pay it much attention".

Just in case you didn't read the op - she clearly states the confession was after a few drinks - really don't see how my response is insulting - did I mention the sex of either person - really???

Redhair: wine was last night - just tea tonight!

In that case if I might quote Redhair partially and add a bit...

I think you've had a cup of tea and are enjoying whipping up some frenzied drama. Stay out of it...

With friends like you OP.....

It was something she confused to you in confidence, you'd be a massive bitch to tell the other friend. If the friend wants her to know I'm sure she ll tell her herself or ask you to tell her.

You sound like a drama llama, making it all about you and turning into for you all you know is a crush into a declaration of love in your head.

MauledbytheTigers · 29/07/2016 00:27

Confided not confused

HopeClearwater · 29/07/2016 00:34

YABU for using the word 'prewarn' which doesn't exist, nor does it need to, because warning can only be done before the event.

Also - stay out of it!

A good friend would ignore the conversation , she was drunk.

A bad friend would stir up drama and yap
only you know which you are
