You have to tell her what you know and how it makes you feel. She needs to be honest with you about the extent of their relationship. She also needs to figure out why she did this. Clearly she knew it would upset you otherwise she would have told you herself. Why would she do something so reckless? Also, I seriously doubt that her friend who told you about it was completely innocent. Sounds like she was trying to stir the pot a bit. Not the most important issue here but don't address this issue again with the mutual friend. Not very trustworthy behavior. [ Reply | More

Don't get a Sonicare, get the Oral-B one. And pick the most basic one, or the second most basic one. The bells and whistles are totally useless and expensive. Oh, and give it two weeks or so to get used to - it's kind of weird at first but then it's awesome. [ Reply | More
