I used my best friend/ex-boyfriend's password and got into his e-mail account and myspace account. i did not look at anything, but I mainly just wanted to see if I could get in. I felt so bad after doing it that I wanted to tell him right away. I actually started crying because I knew how wrong it was to use his trust against him like that. I left him a text that said "Call me as soon as possible". The next day, he called me and said "What's up? Is something wrong?" Since he's my best friend, I knew I had to tell him what I did...or I could never live with the lie. I assumed he'd be extremely pissed to hear what I did, but when I told him, he was silent.
I said "Are you still there?" and he said
"Yeah...that was a pretty terrible thing to do,"
and I said "I know, I am so sorry"
But then he said "But, I have to thank you for telling me the truth about it. I would have much rather you told me now than found out later."
We cleared up the whole mess and of course he forgave me. He's the best friend ever. But I had been so worried that he would think I had betrayed his trust. Just telling him the truth made me feel so much better.
The moral of the story is: the truth will set you free.
It was so hard to admit my wrongdoing and actually tell someone who hadn't provoked me to tell him. But, I knew that I would rather be on the level with my best friend than keep a lie from him, even one that wouldn't hurt either way. He could tell I hadn't messed with his account or looked at any of his e-mails, but just knowing I had had the nerve to pry into his business made me feel sick to my stomach. I couldn't even sleep and it made me feel like a horrible person.
IN the long run, it's no big deal. It's over now and I am honestly glad I told him. There are far worse things happening in the world of friendships, but I am insanely glad I have an understanding best friend.
(I just wanted to share that because I recommend the truth to anyone)
