A woman says she ended one of her closest friendships after discovering her best friend allegedly cheated on her fiancé with a personal trainer, then questioned whether cutting ties made her “not a girl’s girl.” Olive (@thatspicygworl) shared the story in a recent TikTok video, saying she learned that her friend, whom she called Anna, had allegedly spent the night with her personal trainer, Alan, while engaged to her fiancé, Alex.

Olive did not describe witnessing the alleged affair herself. Instead, she said a location-sharing feature showed Anna in a rural area where Alan’s family reportedly owned farmland. Olive said she discovered the alleged relationship after the women went out for drinks and Anna unexpectedly left early, citing a headache.

According to Olive’s account, Anna had previously been focused on wedding planning after Alex proposed. She said Anna had also set what she called a 90-day rule for relationships, telling Alex that if no proposal came around the three-month mark, she would leave because she wanted to date with marriage in mind.

Alan Enters the Chat.

After the engagement, Olive said Anna began preparing for the wedding and started working out more frequently. Anna eventually began scheduling private sessions with Alan, a personal trainer Olive described as a young former fraternity member.

Olive said Anna repeatedly talked about the trainer and his interest in her. When Olive questioned the situation, she said Anna told her she wanted him to help her “work on my quads.”

The friendship took another turn after Olive said she noticed Anna’s location late one night. Olive said she was at home with her partner when she decided to text Anna about a Netflix show. Because the two women shared their locations, Olive said she could see Anna was outside the city in an area surrounded largely by farmland.

She then connected the location to Alan’s family, according to her TikTok account. The following morning, Olive said she received a missed call and text from Alex asking Anna to contact him.

When Olive called Anna, she said her friend claimed she had stayed with another friend in the city. According to Olive, Anna denied that anything happened with Alan and questioned why Olive had been checking her location.

Olive then confronted her friend about the alleged deception. She said Anna accused her of not being “a girl’s girl” because she was considering telling Alex what she knew.

“I’m not about to play guess who with your GPS,” Olive said in the video, recounting her response. She ultimately ended the friendship, saying Anna had lied to both her and her fiancé.

Olive Still Wonders if She Should Tell Alex.

The question of whether a friend should disclose suspected infidelity has no universal answer. Relationship therapist Esther Perel has written and spoken extensively about the complexity of affairs, arguing that infidelity involves more than the physical act and can expose deeper issues surrounding trust, boundaries, and relationships. Olive ended the video by asking viewers what they would do in her position, specifically whether she should tell Alex or give Anna time to come clean herself.

One commenter responding to Olive’s story wrote, “telling him doesn’t mean you’re not a girls girl. it means you’re consistent with your morals.” Another speculated, “She wants the wedding NOT the marriage … clear as day she doesn’t care WHO it is as long as she gets her big expensive day , NO THANK YOU.”
