Overheard My Friend Talking Badly About My Family – What Should I Do?

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice on something that happened recently. So, I was hanging out with my friend Nathan the other day, and he accidentally left his phone on after we finished our call. I could hear him talking to Joe and Jacob, and they were saying some pretty nasty things about my family. It was really hurtful, and now I don’t know what to do.

Nathan has been a close friend for years, and this is the first time I’ve ever heard him say anything like this. I’m not sure if he was just caught up in the moment or if he really feels that way. Part of me wants to confront him and ask why he said those things, but another part of me is scared it will ruin our friendship.

I also don’t know if I should tell my family about what I heard. They have always been supportive of my friendship with Nathan, and I don’t want to cause any unnecessary drama. But at the same time, I feel like they deserve to know the truth.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Should I talk to Nathan directly or just let it go? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Lillian
