This is something that has been eating me for the past couple of months and please, no insulting, spamming or flaming in this thread.

The names I am about to mention in my story are changed from the real peoples names in case (which is very unlikely) other people find out.

Okay I just turned 18 years old recently and I have a group of friends that I have been friends with all my life. 2 of my friends, Jeff and Joanne started dating about 2 years ago and there both 16 going on 17 at the moment. They have a 5 week old baby boy and my friend Jeff has recently told me that he has been sleeping with someone else for the past 3 months or so with another one of my very close friends Sharon who is 17. Sharon is best friends with Joanne yet she is still over at her house all the time helping with her baby while sleeping with the father of her child behind her back.

I advised Jeff time and time again to stop what he's ****ing doing and threatened to beat the shit out of him for his own sake from one friend to another and he said he would stop but time and time again he tells me that they did it again because "it was a drunk thing". I completely love Joanne and Jeff to bits in a friend prospective and I really don't want anything bad to happen. What annoys the hell out of me even more is that Joanne is such a lovely person and she would never even think about cheating on Jeff.

I am the only one out my group of 11 friends that knows whats going on. I spoke to Jeff telling him how important having a baby is and to stop what he's ****ing doing or shit's going to come down on top of you like a ton of bricks. I have completely lost all respect for Sharon even though I have been friends with her for years and when I see her with Joanne it ****ing eats me inside since I am very close to her. Sharon doesn't know that I know and I am the only person that knows whats going on and I seriously need someone to talk too before shit gets way too out of hand.

Every time I see Jeff, Joanne and their baby it kills me because Joanne looks so happy and when she finds out (Not saying that I'm going to tell anyone) she will have a mental brake down. She will never speak to Jeff again which will be a bad influence on the child growing up. Sharon will have no friends and Jeff will be hated by all my other friends. I also live in a town that has the highest suicide rate in my country and I know it's sad to say but I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff, Joanne or Sharon did something stupid if the secret got out. My whole group of friends will completely fall apart eventually because it is too big of a situation to just pass by and I am the only one who only one who knows all of this!

Hmm...tricky situation. Ignorance is bliss, but how long can it last? You've already told him to stop. To be honest, more for you than for anything, I would advise you to know that, unless you believe the truth needs to come out for a real reason, that you have done all you could do to help your friends, and take condolence from that. Whatever happens, you tried to do everybody right.

That's a predicament indeed. Don't tell anyone, that kid doesn't deserve it. But cut that dude's d*ck off while he sleeps.

Be realistic man, if your were in this situation with a very close group of friends you would be seriously frustrated like I am.

Make your threat a promise, man. Push and shove him around, beating his a$$ will be taking it too far and he may not forgive you. Scream at him at the top of your lungs to show how serious the matter is. Tell him all of the consequences in what he's doing. Also, tell him if he doesn't care for his girlfriend, then at least care for his child. They should break up and remain friends for their child's sake imo. She deserves better than him anyway.

There really seems like there is nothing you can do unless you want to start drama, but if he continues and doesn't stop his baby's mother will eventually find out.Hopefully he doesn't end up getting the other girl pregnant.

You said that you haven't talked to Sharon.Talk to her, it's worth a shot. Maybe it will help.

If not, threaten to tell Joane, that would set your friend straight. If you have to knock sense into him, do it, or else things will get really bad.

Also, be quick and decisive. You have to stop this now, or else things will get even worse.

Also, don't put this all on yourself. Try and get one of your trustworthy friends to help out.

Hmm tough, but as I always say "the truth will set you free" (well not really always but you get the point) If you don't tell, it's going to keep eating at you. What I would reccomend is beat the crap out of Jeff, and warn him off of Sharon I know it sucks but it's for everyones good :( If he doesen't stop then tell Joanne, I know you say she'll flip but if you don't do it imagine what'll happen if she figures it out later when she's even CLOSER to jeff. Honestly it would be the merciful thing to do U_U

I would tell "sharon" that you know what she and "Jeff" are doing, and tell her that if she doesn't stop you will tell Joanne. If they keep it up, i would go ahead and tell Joanne. It's not helping anyone keeping this a secret. It's going to get out no matter what you do, so the sooner the better. Not to sound like a douche, but having a baby at 17 years old, i can already tell you it's not going to be a "happy ever after" situation for that family as i don't see Jeff and Joanne getting married if he is cheating on her every week. The best solution for everyone is to tell Sharon to stop or you will tell Joanne what her best friend has been doing with the father of her child.

Blackmail him and force him into admitting what he is doing to that girl, hopefully she doesn't break up with him

Stay out of it, and try to keep his cover as best as possible. Some things are better left not becoming public knowledge. Once Joanne is done recovering from her pregnancy and they can become sexually active again maybe he will stop, maybe not. This is just a bad situation all around so your best bet is to just not take sides, try to make sure nobody finds out, and hope for the best.

He doesn't deserve to be with her if he's doing all that crap behind her back. If it were me I would have told her even if it would have broken her heart, it's better then spending time with somebody who obviously doesn't care for her because he's done it on more then one occasion.

Ask him what makes him go to that other person. What does she have that the other girl doesn't have? And you can maybe help that girl to get what he wants...

I know each one of your advise is meaningful and worth consideration and I thank you for that. But if I do beat the shit out of him people will get suspicious as of to why I did it.

I do not have the heart to tell Joanne cause I am terrified of what her reaction will be :(

Joanne will never talk to me again if she finds out whats going on and If I did tell her Jeff would never speak to me again. ugh!
