AITA for not telling my best friend his girlfriend flirted with me?
So this happened about three weeks ago and I (24M) still feel weird about it. My best friend Jake (25M) threw a birthday party at his place, maybe 30 people, pretty casual. His girlfriend Amy (23F) and I have always been friendly in a normal way, no weirdness ever.
At some point in the evening she cornered me in the kitchen while Jake was outside with other people. She was definitely a few drinks in and started saying stuff like how she’s always found me attractive and that Jake “doesn’t have to know everything.” I was uncomfertable, told her I wasn’t interested, and kind of just walked back outside. She acted completely normal for the rest of the night.
I didn’t tell Jake. My reasoning was that Amy was drunk, it was a one time thing, and I didn’t want to blow up his relationship over one weird moment. I figured if it happened again I would say something.
Fast forward two days – Jake came to me asking if anything happened and I told him the truth. He was upset, not just at Amy, but at me for staying quiet.
He said I should have told him immediately and that by waiting I was choosing her comfort over his right to know. I see his point but I also genuinely thought I was protecting him from unnecessary pain over something that might have been a drunk mistake.
Now things are awkward between us and I don’t know if I handled this wrong. AITA?
