They cheated, should I rock the boat?

My boyfriend and I socialise a lot with my best friend and her husband, and recently we went away with them on their boat for the weekend. At one point when they were alone, my boyfriend and best friend hooked up – I only know this because my boyfriend came clean about it once we got home (although he’s fairly vague about the details) and says he confessed because he was sorry. He feels it was a ‘blip’ in our otherwise great social life and that I should put it behind us so we can continue to see them. She hasn’t said a word to me about it. Not sure I’m up to double dating anymore, but is it worth risking my relationship and best friend over? Amber

Hell yeah. After all, their little love boat lust-fest has just blown your relationship clean out of the water, don’t you think? OK, your boyfriend confessed, but it sounds suspiciously conditional – a confession that he used, ultimately, to manipulate you into brushing the whole mess under the carpet so his happy social life could continue with nary a hiccup. That’s not much to ask, or anything. As for your friend – and I use the term loosely – it’s time to pick up the phone to announce that you’re privy to her rat-fink behaviour. Let her know you’ll be filling her husband in on the finer details of your weekend away; after all, it’s only fair. Whether you decide to work on things with your boyfriend is your choice, but if you do I’d definitely throw a few conditions in his court – like couples counselling, and the fact that you’ll be finding a whole new social set to hang out with. Let me know how it all pans out, and good luck.
Love, reality chick
