Would you forgive your friend for sleeping with your man?

There are lines that a friend should never cross, and one of those lines is not to sleep with another friend's boyfriend. Any friend who does something like this is not a true friend. However, friendships differ on so many levels and some friends might forgive a friend for sleeping with their boyfriend.

Some believe that friends who have been around for a long time have that seniority and can be forgiven for anything they do. I can't condone anyone stealing, and sleeping with someone's boyfriend or girlfriend is stealing and it shouldn't be justified. Personally, I couldn't forgive a friend for sleeping with my boyfriend, but that is just my feelings and beliefs on the matter.

Each person is different and if they feel as though they can forgive a friend, I have nothing against their decision. If anyone find themselves in a situation where they have the opportunity to sleep with their friends boyfriend. Hopefully, you think about the repercussions and consequences you will be faced with after you dear friend learns about this affair. Ask yourself; is it worth breaking a friendship up over for one night of passion?

The first thing a person should do when they find out their friend slept with their boyfriend is to confront the boyfriend. Some men are weak when it comes to sexual advancements made towards them and they don't turn it away. But that doesn't give him a right to betray you. Your friend also betrayed you by going after your boyfriend. They both let you down and they both equally don't deserve you in their lives.

Forgiveness is left up to the individual. Breaking ties with your friend is the best thing you can do,she has already broken her ties with you by her actions. If you love your boyfriend and you know that he loves you and you want to make it work. Perhaps, talking things over and setting up some ground rules will help.

Some boyfriends are not worth the effort or time when it comes to making amends after something as horrible as sleeping with your friend. The ties you have with your boyfriend is also broken, so going on with your life and seeking a new set of friends and finding a boyfriend who knows not to cross any lines or who would never disrespect you is something you should consider.
