 Re: Broken trust. But I didn't mean it.
Glad to hear you've made a different decision.
The question I ask myself before I disclose anything like this is, ""will it enhance our lives or their life or the relationship if I tell them the full truth?" If the answer is no, then we aren't going to divulge further information." I don't advocate lying, but I don't advocate providing TMI when it's not necessary.
I didn't see how disclosing was necessary or even a good thing in your situation, especially since y'all are in the service (former service member here - I'm all with Dave_Kat in the "don't cause unit drama!") and because it was likely going to hurt your friend with no real benefit besides easing your conscious. Glad you've thought it out and considered the advice and viewpoints here.
Good luck and stay safe over there!
