Input: So earlier today I (F18) was talking to my buddy P (M18) and he suggested me and him go for a smoke after school. Usually P’s buddy J (M18) tags along and we’ve always gotten along really well.

I say of course, but then he says, “Just me and you, I don’t want you hanging around J because the last time we all chilled he was being really weird and fake.”

Now me and P are pretty close, and he’s told me a lot about him and J’s problems, so I ask him what he means.

Long story short, P tells me that J talks mad shit about me when I’m not around, calls me ugly, etc etc.

Because I don’t want J to know P told me, I’m hesitant to bring it up with J because I don’t want P to feel narcced out on. 

However, I REALLY dislike fake people and would rather him not play it up around me. (A few days ago J snapped me saying “you’re so pretty let’s hang soon!!” And shit like that.)

I don’t care if he doesn’t like me, but I’d rather us establish that together, not him be two faced.

WIBTA for bringing it up with J, at the expense of P getting “told on” 

TL;DR friend told me another friend was talking shit about me and I want to confront him, but don’t want my other friend to be put on the spot for telling me
