Would You DUMP A Friend For Cheating On Their Spouse? | Ep 40
In this episode, Jocelyn and Jade dive into a messy moral dilemma: should you cut off a friend if you find out they’re cheating on their spouse? The conversation sparks from a Reddit thread, where many people admitted to ending friendships over cheating. The hosts explore why people see cheating as a bigger deal than other wrongdoings—like stealing or lying—even when those might impact friends directly.
They debate whether cheating automatically makes someone untrustworthy in all areas of life, or if it’s more complicated depending on context. Both admit they wouldn’t instantly drop a friend but would first want a conversation: why did it happen, what’s going on, and is the friend trying to drag them into the situation? They draw a hard line at being asked to cover up lies—once they’re involved, they’re out.
The discussion widens into gray areas: Is cheating different if it’s a boyfriend versus a husband? Would you tell the spouse? Does the situation change if the relationship was abusive? And what about being friends with someone who cheats with other people’s partners? The hosts also share their own experiences—admitting they’ve been in messy situations before and learned the hard way about karma.
As always, the episode balances humor and honesty. Listeners get Jade and Jocelyn’s trademark unfiltered takes, from joking about “lie to me too so I can stay out of it” to reminiscing about MySpace and BlackPlanet, to laughing over wild neighborhood drama like witnessing car vandalism. The core message: cheating is wrong, but whether it’s friendship-ending isn’t always black and white—it depends on the situation, the history of the friendship, and whether your friend tries to drag you into their mess.
