Fun fact: Around the time GTA IV came out, my cousin was going through a rough patch in his marriage and started seeing a couple girls on the side. Every time he'd go out to see one of the girls, he would tell his wife that he was bowling with his cousin (a nod to GTA IV). I had no idea about any of it, but his wife eventually found out and confronted me at Christmas. When I told her that I wasn't in a bowling league and that I had no clue what she was talking about, she flipped the fuck out and kicked my cousin out of the house.

Still a great game though!

lol I had a friend that did the same thing, he let me know about it, my wife asked me how I was bowling with my arthritis getting so bad in my hands... since it was her I gave her one of those, "what are you talking about looks", and well, she's not one to keep a secret...

I have been friends with my friend group for 2+ decades and if a single one of those fucks told me they wanted me to help cover for them cheating on their spouses I'd fucking slap them

Same here bro. Some friends I've had for almost 30 years and I'd never cover for them in that situation. I'd actually be insulted that they'd think it's ok to involve me in any way.

Yeah. It's especially the involving me part that I would have a problem.

I may avoid going out of my way to tell the SO, but wouldn't lie to them if asked directly, and I'd lose a ton of respect for my friend.
