How can I convince my friend that I did not betray his trust? (edit)

*slap
What we’ve got here is… failure to communicate! Some men…

Waitwaitwaitwait. If you were the only person who knew the information then how did your ex encounter someone else who also knew that information? One of you had to have said something.

Do you talk in your sleep? Have a nosy roommate?

If the friend does know the information you were supposed to have known in confidence, there may be no way of convincing your ex that you did not betray his trust. Seems like a bad situation over all.

Have you asked him if someone else could have relayed the info? Did he tell anyone else, or maybe just forget that he told the person himself? (although if he did, he probably wouldn’t be so upset about it…)

I asked and he said no he trusted only me with it, then again the whole situation that I cannot post, could have ended up involving one of his other friends if they talked about it. I wish I could tell to give you guys a better understanding…but I know for a fact I didn’t release the info myself to anyone.

Then you should try to find out who did.. otherwise he’s not going to believe you.

If you’re worried about him seeing, you could always PM us (well, me. I’m interested.) I agree with @kheredia. Try to find out who did, or at least ask him to consider that someone else may have known and let the information slip.

The other question to consider is whether or not this is just an excuse for him to distance himself from you. Did you still have a good friendship despite having broken up? I know you consider him your best friend, but did he feel the same way?

I will PM everyone who responded to see if I can make this a little easier lol

The information can’t be that secret, then. Either the third guy was smart enough to figure it out on his own, your friend told someone else, or someone eavesdropped. Did you guys talk about this online?

I honestly don’t remember if we did or not…but I’ll PM you the situation.

Did the other friend talk about it?

Welcome to fluther, @dazednconfused – wow – you were lucky to get that nickname without extra numbers after it. Wear it well!

i think so my theory is that the guy he purchased the item from told some other friends and it got back to the guy who lied and said it was me who told….hmm. im coming up with more and more reasons why he would…but still trying to convince my friend that he’s stepping into a trap with his “buddy” who’s lying on me.
