Do what your heart tells you.....follow your gut!

If he's your friend, he'll understand your need to help....he'll forgive if your wrong.

The name of the thread has retribution in the title. Don't do it. That is not your heart speaking.

IMP.....noted:


If he is seeking justice for someone else.....without positive proof, then perhaps it's not his place to snoop. A quiet way of a little heads up maybe?

Definitions of retribution on the Web:

a justly deserved penalty
the act of correcting for your wrongdoing
vengeance: the act of taking revenge (harming someone in retaliation for something harmful that they have done) especially in the next life; "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord"--Romans 12:19; "For vengeance I would do nothing. This nation is too great to look for mere revenge"--James Garfield; "he swore vengeance on the man who betrayed him"; "the swiftness of divine retribution"
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

something given or demanded in repayment; especially punishment.
http://www.mariner.org/chesapeakebay/native/vocab.html

Repayment, fiscal or moral; often used as a synonym for karma in human affairs. A tendency exists to apply the word specially to the seemingly bitter aspects of karma, as being the so-called punishment for evildoing; and reward is commonly applied to that aspect of karma which brings forth happy, pleasurable, and elevating factors in human life.

Giving out the punishment that one deserves.

Okay, I agree with that. If you're looking at getting some divine retribution that you can't take out on your W, then you should back down.

BUT, if you're truly trying to help your friend, I stick by my original answer.


"I made the wall of shadow draw back,
beyond desire and act, I walked on.

Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost,
I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you."

I told my best friend (newton) that her boyfriend was cheating on her. She told me to f off and didn't talk to me for about 6months.

I loved her and told her out of love

she knew he was a slime and was trying to save face

she is my best friend
i love her
we have been friends for (OMG) 17 years...best friends...soul sistahs...except for that 6 mths when she hated me for knowign the truth that she wasn't strong enough to leave. But I still loved her.

I don't knwo what my point was...I just dealt with a moronic student screaming at me for being abitch and not bringing her 18.6% up to a passing grade.

BTW Billy - from my H's perspective, he wishes someone would have told him how badly I was feeling but only one of my friends knew and I don't think even SHE knew the extent of how I felt.....and I doubt if she had, that she would have said something to him - as she felt she was my friend and listening to me ya know?

Don't know where I was going with that either but there you go.

Are you absolutely sure this is an affair?

Absolutely?

The thing is once you let the cat out of the bag, it can't go back in. But under the right circumstances, you always have a chance to help your friend.
