So one of my coworkers at the company where i work happens to be someone I knew in college. Although we weren’t best friends, we were friendly enough that i would typically try to protect her. This is where i went wrong: For roughly two weeks, I had a brief relationship with one of our coworkers. I discovered he was married during that period when I unintentionally saw messages on his phone. I didn’t want to be involved in that mess, so I ended things immediately. After a few months, my former university friend joined the company and began acting very flirtatious toward him. She was married too actually. I thought I’d be a good person and let her know in private. She even promised to keep away and thanked me for telling her. Fast forward once more. She moved in with him then divorced her husband. Now that they’re together, I’m the villain in some way. Since then, they have been unfriendly toward me, and I recently learned that they have been spreading rumors about me at work.

TL;DR: I warned a coworker (who’s also an old friend) that the guy she was flirting with is married, based on what I found out after briefly dating him myself. She ignored me, left her husband, and moved in with him. Now they both hate me and spread rumors about me.
