Live the lie or find the truth?

    If someone was lying to you, would you want to know? If this lie was great enough to make you lose what you considered a good friendship by finding out, would you rather not know and just keep the friend or would you like to know that the person you were talking to was a completely different person and the truth would more than likely hurt you when you found out?

    The blue pill
    (I don't remember which pill was which btw)

    I would rather know if one of my friends was untrustworthy, certainly.

    I would lean towards the easy life. Although it would depend on the lie, if your character would be damaged irrepairably then it could be disastrous, but if the liar was the only one who knew of the lie, then easy life all the way.

    Why do ya ask anyway?

    Well if they're that close they'll prob meet up at some stage, itll be an awful let-down, but it'll all come good in the end. Sometimes friendships *are* only good over the net. If the person is helping your friend then i wouldnt try and interfere, but if the person is detracting from your friendsquality of life, or else setting your friend up for a big fall, something should prob be said

    You might be resented for it (by the person you tell), or they might not believe you, think you are jealous.

    yeah thats what i was thinking too....

    go about it as matter of factly as you can.

    gather "evidence"
    prepare your statement.
    remain calm, even point out that you're not doing it out of jealously etc etc.

    if the person sees you're in earnest and not just raining on their parade through spite but actual concern they may at least not think you have personal motives for informing them. which, I'm sure you don't.

    lastly, go to bed, it's very late! ;)

    What? BigJugs17 is really a big fat bas*ard who only leaves the house to get bread and milk, and not the sexy 17yo blonde who does yoga, loves the c*ck, and is training how to massage?

    You want to burst the bubble? Get them to meet. Or, get proof, and show it to them.
