    Ask again the person who told you that her bf has 'friends with benefits'. Anw since she believed him then you should do the same.

    You could stay out of it--she already knows about that and asked him.
    :D

    And, SO WHAT if he had a friend with benefits? How many of us disclose the details of our past sexual liasions with our new partners? What's past is past.

    If she's smart she'll ask for STI tests before becoming sexually involved with him, but then, EVERYONE should do that.

    no no, mind your own business. There's nothing worse for a friendship than that kind of interference. I would *possibly* make an exception to that rule if I knew for an absolute FACT that my friend's husband or wife were fooling around on them, but . . . only possibly.

    They will never ever forgive you for that kind of interference.

    Well, considering she already asked him, I don't think it's necessary to do anything. It is possible that her boyfriend lied to her in an attempt to not hurt her feelings, though. Of course she's going to believe the person she wants to. Even if you knew for a fact that he did and told her that, she might believe him over you because she wants to believe he didn't. You can tell her that "He's with you now. Even if he did have one, he chose you to be with over her." I realize this is an old question, but for future reference.
