VaeVictis:i find it funny that you even consider grammar a sign of intelligence, that itself is a very uneducated claim
Oh, the 2nd line was addressed to him, not you. I forgot to specify that although that was probably obvious.
I would quietly remove her hand from me and give her a small lecture. I must assume if she is willing to cheatonmy friend,she'd be equallylikely tocheato ME,so no thought of reciprocating would cross my mind. Id point that out to her after asking,"If I let this happen,how worthy of your trust would I be then?". A fair question and a telling one.But I would NOT tell my friend about it,in the hopes she would see the error of her ways.Unless another incident happens with her occurs with someone else ,then I owe it to my friend to show she is irredemable.
I often take into consideration the reasons WHY a situation occurs when making judgement calls like this. And there could be many,ranging from the lady being a psychotic bitch out to mess with her husband's peace of mind to someone being a broken neglected thing just wanting any sort of attention and thinking so little of herself she offers her body just to feel someone holding her,and settling for the simplist route to that:a sad parody of affection. The conversation during the lecture would help determine that.If she IS irredemable then waiting for the 1001st time won't be too long in coming,then I would act on my obligation to save my friend from a bad situation. And if my "friend" turns out to be the abusive monster,then is he worthy of friendship? Who would need saving in that case? I still wouldn't take advantage of her in either senario and any advice I'd give would be sincere,whether to help him away from her,or her away from him.
what better way to handle social situations than to ask how to handle them on tastyspleen?
