There's also always the alternative of sneakily getting some pictures or video footage of the cheater with the cheatee and anonymously sending it to the victim, if you don't want to get yourself involved.
Way too creepy.
The issue has come up a few times, which is why I kept it androgynous. The situation right now involves two people I'm both friends with. I think I'm just going to stay out of it. It really makes me sad, though...
Depends. Are you better friends with the cheater or the victim?
If it's the victim, tell your friend. He/she will almost certainly find out eventually, and he/she deserves to know, because he/she can do better (and I'm getting sick of typing he/she).
If it's the cheater, I recommend not telling but having a long talk with your friend about his/her behavior. If your friend tells you that it's NYDB, I guess you should back off, unless you can't bear to see the other member of the couple being treated like this.

Also (and I know I'm stating the obvious here), you should be 100% sure there's cheating going on before you do anything. I've been watching too many crappy sitcoms lately where meddlers get that wrong.

If you know a couple, and are aware that one of the partners is cheating on the other one, should you tell the other partner? Or does it fall into the NYDB category (None of Your Damn Business)?
My dad took care of my digimon during the day after the school banned them. He still tells the story of one business meeting where he was meeting with an important partner from another firm, and in the middle the partner takes out his daughter's digimon to feed them, and then my dad is all, "oh thank GOD," and takes mine out and feeds it too.
Our group didn't have a way to settle things, because there were twins that were kind of in charge of it, and whatever they said...went?
But, yeah. Spice girls were awesome. Maybe not awesome enough to follow them around on tour, but definitely cool all the same.
Furbys were cool but it was creepy when you made the smallest movement and they would awake like some hairy little monster.
I killed mine by leaving them on the window sill in the dead of winter. Now they're locked in my closet. *shudders*

Yeah I guess that divies out right. you're 16, I'm almost eighteen, so it'd be about the same time period. And yeah, pokemon... Ugh... Such a fad. They were over almost as soon as a bowel movement for a pigeon.
This is funny. It was third and fourth grade for me and I'm fourteen (two months til fifteen). I hated pokemon. I even went threw a period where I wouldn't talk to my friend until she put her "pokeball" away or whatever the heck it was called. Maybe those were the digiballs. Hmm. . . I dunno.

In my group, they were settled in marble tournaments. We were exceptionally dorky.
Oh that is cute. I like that.
We settled things by playing soccer and if we couldn't settle it there, we would take it outside and chase the person down the back of the school and well, you know the rest.
Not that I ever did it, I just know. I'm too sweet for that nonsense.
Agh, gen pals, every girl took mine whenever I had it. Darn thoase evil popular girls. They should burn!! BURN!! Again, I'm sweet!
Don't even get me started on tickle me elmo.

I can't remember 90s feds.
Just Barbie but I think that was here for longer than that.
I used to cut the hair off Barbie. Heh, I was a very distruded child. Nah, just kidding, I actually was giving them hair cuts but I figured out that I'm not that great at giving hair cuts.

While we're on the subject of '90's fads, how about Tomagotchis? I loved those things; I still have my keychained-together collection sitting on my bookshelf, where they've been waiting for new batteries for about five years. I'd go to a battery store and ask for them to replace the batteries (like I used to), but I think I'd sooner gouge my eyes out than suffer that embarassment.
As for gel pels, it depends entirely on what brand you're using. I've been using a pen with gel ink for years now, and it's become like a brother to me. It's reached the point where if I'm leaving for school and I can't find it, I majorly freak out.
I'm done rambling.

The only thing about gel pens I hated were the ones with hot pink or yellow. WHO can read that on white lined paper?
Yeah. It hurts your eyes, let alone impossible to read. I couldn't believe my middle school teachers let that stuff go on for as long as they did. I respect them so much...

Oh god, I hated that, back when gel pens were a fad... in what, fifth grade?
Ouch, it didn't reach my area until at least the middle of sixth. I guess it depends on how old you are though...
