The Shared Secret
A friend tells you in strict confidence that their partner is cheating on them, and they are preparing to leave. Two days later, the cheating partner corners you at a party, crying, and asks if you know why your friend is being so distant.
Do you play dumb to protect the exit plan?
Then ask
- Is it ever okay to lie to someone who is in distress?
- What if the partner suspects you know and pushes you on it?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
