"Yesterday I took advantage of the three-day weekend to have a leisurely Monday morning brunch with some girlfriends. And with brunch came something I&amp;#39;d like to share with all of you: Bloody Marys, obvs! But also, juicy stories.\nSpecifically, my friend told me a story that made my skin crawl. On a recent night out, she randomly found herself alone at the end of the night with her boyfriend&amp;#39;s good guy friend (the BF himself was out of town). She was instantly uncomfortable, especially since the guy had been drinking a lot, and it got worse when he started saying weird things about how much he liked her and knew she liked him\u2026and then tried to kiss her! She shut it down, clearly, but she was terrified after to tell her boyfriend. She didn&amp;#39;t want to be the cause of problems between friends, but she also didn&amp;#39;t want to lie or keep secrets in her own relationship. Eventually she did tell her guy and it turned out fine&amp;#8212;he wasn&amp;#39;t thrilled, of course, but he reacted calmly. I would have done the same in her shoes, for sure. If her boyfriend had found out from the friend, or anyone else other than her, he would have thought she was keeping it from him because she did something wrong. Which she didn&amp;#39;t!\nPinterestFacebookBut it does raise an interesting point of whether or not there are times when friends and lovers just don&amp;#39;t need to know about certain indiscretions, especially if they don&amp;#39;t really escalate. A similar debate, although a totally different scenario, came up on the new episode of Girls this week after Marnie and Elijah had two-and-a-half-pumps sex in the Season 2 premiere (because karaoke gets everyone in the mood, right?). Elijah told his own boyfriend, which resulted in a swift dumping, but so far they&amp;#39;ve decided not to tell Elijah&amp;#39;s ex/Marnie&amp;#39;s best friend Hannah about their attempted romp in an attempt to spare her feelings. I have a feeling we can look to that disastrous reveal in the future though. We&amp;#39;ll see how the truth works out in that situation.\nAre there certain situations where it&amp;#39;s better just not to tell someone about an indiscretion? If it was just alcohol-induced? If nothing really happened? Would you have done the same thing in my friends shoes?\nSpeaking of confessions:\nGlamour&amp;#39;s Extra-Hot, Extra-Juicy Guy Survey: 1,000 Men Confess...\nTrue Dating Confession: &amp;quot;I Love Reading Erotica&amp;quot;\nMy Boyfriend Confessed to Cheating: Was Breaking Up With Him The Right Thing To Do?\nPhoto: HBO"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
