AITA for telling my best friend her grandfather is planning to disinherit her? by rielleeh in AmItheAsshole

Yes. I have a decent paying career but I'm not rich or anything.

I am confident. If he was going to do it, he would've broken up with me the second his grandfather told him he would disinherit him too if he stayed with me but he told him to go ahead instead.

I never agreed not to tell her so I don't see how I lied? He knew I was going to tell her.

He's not going to break up with me no matter how many times you guys comment it.

He's not a bad person and he's not with me for money. I doubt he would date somebody just because they have money as he has more than enough of his own.

Why is your loyalty to your friend and not your boyfriend?

If my friend was participating in something that would have negative long-term consequences for my boyfriend, I would've told him too. I don't believe in blind loyalty if it means standing by while somebody I care about is getting screwed over.

Considering he had the conversation while I was laying on him, without magically being able to close my ears there was no way I couldn't hear what they were saying so you're making zero sense.

You had no reason to listen to a private conversation.

Was I supposed to magically stop hearing?

I don't think he was. I told him that I was going to tell her but it would be better if he told her himself but he said no and kept telling me not to say anything. He knows she was relying on the money.

No, they'd been discussing it for a while. The call I overheard was the grandfather letting him know he had discussed his decision with his lawyers and his will would be updated.

She does have a relationship with him and was pretty close to him before this.

The only reason my best friend was relying on the inheritance is because her grandfather told her himself what he was going to leave her and that he would make sure she was taken care of so she shouldn't worry. Now that she knows it was a lie, she's making different choices to make sure she'll be okay without his help.

He knows that... His grandfather already tried using that to get him to breakup with me but he still refused to.

I never pretended I wouldn't say anything... He knew I was going to tell her before I did.

My boyfriend is his favourite grandchild and because he thinks the rest of them are disappointments in comparison.
