Accepted Answer

67% chose "Tell them immediately — they deserve the truth" and 33% chose "Stay out of it — it's not your relationship". This dilemma sits at the intersection of loyalty and autonomy. Telling your friend respects their right to make informed decisions about their own life. Not telling prioritizes their current happiness and respects the boundary between your relationship and theirs. Philosophers call this the 'information asymmetry' problem — you have knowledge that disrupts the natural course of someone else's life.
