Okay, this isn't exactly a swinger's issue, but it seems as good a place as any for sound advice. And this could get lengthy but I'll do my best to keep it short. First, I'm deployed to Iraq. There's a girl in our unit I'm real close with, but not like that. We've been good friends forever. She really trusts me, but I'm not her type. She's a lesbian. We'll call her Lori. Well, we recently had a medic attached to our section, an adorable little brunette that we'll call Dana. Well, "Dana" is Bi, and she took a quick shine to Lori, making repeated advances. "Lori", however is not into short term occasions. And "Dana" is only going to be with us for maybe 3 months. "Lori" has told me that she does really like "Dana" but she doesn't want to get involved with someone just to have to say good by later. I have less scruples so I gave into her flirts. One night, "Dana" and I hook up. It was nothing serious and had no promises of anything more than that night. I had hopes for more but, I can't have expectations especially out here. Well, less than a week after "Dana" and I hook up, "Lori" comes and tells me that she finally hooked up with "Dana" and she really likes her and they're gonna go and see where this takes them. "Lori" is all bubbles about her now, she likes "Dana" and apparently "Dana" is sharing this enthusiasm. At first, I wanted to make sure my friend wasn't going to get hurt by what "Dana" may be saying, but she genuinely seems to care for her. They've started making plans to wind up together after this deployment. My issue is: "Lori" trusts me and she really likes "Dana". I know if she finds out what "Dana" and I did while she still "Liked" her, she'll be crushed. I like "Lori" too much to do this to her. "Dana" and I kicked this around, but to her it's not such a serious issue. Her answer is simply "Don't tell her." But I can't stand having her "trust" meanwhile hiding this from her. Suggestions?
