There is a real risk of becoming a social pariah, but I'm going to say it.....
....my opinion (for what it's worth) is to stay the hell out of it!

Life is complex enough on your own, you don't need to add to it.

If you do say something and this all blows up, what's the best that can happen? You now have a bunch of friends who don't trust each other and, in all probability won't talk to you, either. Your flatmate won't want to know you because everything has gone "Pete Tong" for him (relationship-wise) and your good friend won't like you because you betrayed her trust. Naturally, you should be there for the offended parties if it does come out, but don't initiate it.

Needless to say, if your "good friend" was your friend, she shouldn't have told you that crumb of information and kept it to herself. Now she's plunged you into the middle of a situation, you don't want to be in!

So feign ignorance and be there if/when all hell breaks loose.

That's my take on the whole thing.....so it goes a long way to explaining why I'm such a miserable frigger! :O)
