220: Should You Tell Your Friend That Their Partner is Cheating on Them?

What do you do when you find out something that could completely blow up someone else’s life? Do you speak up, confront the person involved, or stay quiet and mind your own business?This episode starts light, with Rosie’s annual “haven’t seen you since last year” joke, before quickly turning into a deep and uncomfortable conversation about secrets, cheating, and where responsibility actually sits when you know the truth.Roula shares a real-life dilemma someone brought to her: discovering a friend’s partner is cheating and losing sleep over whether to say something. Rosie reflects on a moment from high school where she found herself carrying a secret that felt completely out of alignment with her values, and how that experience shaped the way she thinks about honesty today.Together, they unpack wildly different approaches to loyalty, confrontation, guilt, and support. Is telling the truth about relieving yourself, or protecting someone you love? Is cheating ever just “none of your business”? And who actually benefits when secrets come out?What would you do if you knew something that could change everything for someone you care about?TOPICS COVERED• Whether you should tell a friend their partner is cheating• The emotional weight of carrying someone else’s secret• Confronting the person cheating versus telling the person being cheated on• Honesty, guilt, and feeling complicit• Why people cheat and what might sit underneath it• Different values around loyalty, boundaries, and responsibility--------------------☕️ Buy us a coffee!🎙️ Send us a voice message🛍️ Buy some Rosie and Roula merch!--------------------⭐️ Leave us a review▶️ Follow us on Instagram and TikTok🎞️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel--------------------🎧 Check out Roula's podcast🎧 Check out Rosie's podcast
