There’s nothing messier than stepping into someone else’s relationship drama.

When a college student saw her best friend’s boyfriend cheating in broad daylight, she thought she was doing the right thing by speaking up.

But instead of a thank you, she got blocked instead.

Read on for the full story.

AITAH for telling my friend her boyfriend cheated on her

I’m 19F, and my best friend (also 19F) has been dating this guy for about a year.

Most people know he flirts a lot, but she always says he’s just “friendly.”

But soon he took this “friendliness” to a whole new level.

Last week, I saw him on campus holding hands with another girl.

They were laughing, sharing food, and he kissed her on the cheek.

It was obvious it wasn’t innocent.

So she decided to take proof to show her friend.

I took a quick photo because I knew she might not believe me otherwise.

I debated saying anything since she’s super defensive about him, but I didn’t want to feel guilty for keeping quiet.

Her friend didn’t react well at all to this.

When I showed her the photo, she got cold fast.

She said I was trying to stir up drama and that I always assume the worst about him.

I told her I only showed her because I care, but she just said to mind my own business.

Then their friendship took another huge blow.

Later that night, she blocked me on everything.

Her boyfriend still walks past me sometimes with this smug look, like he knows he won.

Now I’m wondering if I crossed a line or if I just lost a friend for trying to do the right thing.

AITA?

No one ever talks about how messy it gets when loyalty meets denial.

What did Reddit think?

She did right by her friend, even if her friend refuses to acknowledge it.

Maybe her friend will eventually come around.

Maybe, deep down, her friend knew the entire time.

This commenter tries to imagine what must be going through this friend’s head.

Who would have thought the truth teller would get punisher more harshly than the cheater himself?

Still, she can sleep easy knowing she did the right thing.
