<div class="text-justify">Greetings dear friends, I hope you are having a great weekend. My friend @galenkp motivates us to participate in Weekend Engagemnet Writing topics Week 153 with several very interesting suggestions, I chose "to do it or not". I had a quite similar experience that I will share in this space.</div>

<hr>

<div class="text-justify">Your best friend's partner (whom you find very attractive) starts flirting with you and then suggests a one-night sexual encounter. Your friend will never find out - do you or don't you? .</div>

<hr>

<div class="text-justify">In answer to the question would I do it or not, the truth is I wouldn't, I consider it a betrayal of my best friend and a total lack of loyalty. The fact that he would never find out and that there is no guarantee, would not make me feel any better. For me the most important thing is the friendship of my best friend and being that man capable of making this kind of propositions is showing that he is not capable of valuing any woman, neither her nor me. That knowing that we are friends, he does not care about anything, that man is obviously not worth it, does not respect and does not know at all what the word loyalty means.</div>

<div class="text-justify">The value of loyalty is one of the most important and noble values a human being can possess. If you are not loyal, you have nothing in life, you will never be a trustworthy person. What can the future hold for us with someone like that. Years ago it happened to me that the boyfriend of a great friend started flirting with me and asked me out, I could not believe it, he knew we were friends, I thought it was a joke, otherwise it would be a very serious offense. It was happening seriously, he was insisting on me, I never gave in, I talked seriously with him, I even threatened to talk to my friend and show him the messages. The man did not stop insisting and came out with the typical phrase "I love you both".</div>

<hr>

<div class="text-justify">I made the decision to talk to my friend and summoned her. A man like that is not worth it and I thought that by telling her what was going on, she would surely get a scumbag off her back. However, on the way to my destination, I started to think, at first I was determined, but then I began to doubt. If I told her, that relationship would end and all because of a whim of the gentleman, he didn't want me, he wanted to live an adventure, most likely. She was the girlfriend, the one he visited at home, both knew each other's parents. Besides, I thought it would cause her great pain, my friend was really very much in love and in spite of everything, so was he. When my friend knew about this, she would never see me the same again, she would see me as a rival and I didn't want that.</div>

<hr>



<div class="text-justify">The worst thing that could happen, maybe the two of them would make up and I would lose their friendship forever. What seemed very simple, suddenly took a dark shade, I had a very difficult decision to make and I only had a few minutes left, the time it would take me to get to the meeting with my friend. So, I decided to keep quiet. When we met I made up something else, she was not convinced, but I held firm and today we are still friends. They got married and have two children, during the 5 years of courtship, he was unfaithful, but the decision to forgive him and go to the altar was hers, or both of them.</div>

<div class="text-justify">As her now husband did not insist me more since that event, things stayed like that, perhaps if he had not stopped I would have seen the need to cause him grief. She is still my friend, she never found out, however, with him things did change, I treat him with a lot of distance but in a cordial way to avoid suspicions. Another important thing is that after that, that issue was stoned, he never said anything to me again and he formed his family with her.</div>

<hr>
  
<div class="text-justify">The code of friendship is very important and without loyalty, there are no ties that can hold together. This was my participation, grateful to @galenkp for motivating us to participate in this Weekend Engagemnet Writing topics Week 153.</div>
