AGONY

I slept with my best friend’s boyfriend when she was away in the States. We were both drunk at the time and to be honest I can’t remember much about it. We agreed we wouldn’t tell her but I haven’t been able to face her since. Should I tell her the truth? I don’t want to lose her friendship.

ANSWER

Telling an overweight person they’re fat might be the truth but it won’t help them feel better about themselves. Confessing to your friend might give you a measure of short-term conscience relief but what will it do for her?  Deprive her of a best friend and boyfriend most probably, and leave her feeling hurt and betrayed.

I suggest you view this silly drunken mistake as one of life’s painful learning experiences you won’t be in a hurry to repeat.
