suing for slander?
Lately i have been feeling quitly. I couple of months ago I slept with a guy while he had a girlfriend (and still does), but now i'm feeling really bad about what we did and I want to tell his gf because in a sense she has a right to know, but then again he said if i do tell her he'll sue me for slander and that he has lawyer friends that can make it happen.
so what do i do? if i don't tell the guilt will get me and if i do he'll attempt to sue me for thousands of dollars that i don't have.
I know you guys want me to walk away, but after I saw her-after we did it. She looks like a really sweet and nice girl. and I just don't feel right having a guy who cheats on a girl like that get away with what he did.

the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.
It's only slander if it's false.

He could sue you for slander or any number of things. You can sue anyone for anything. The question is, though, whether he could win. Slander is false statement.
Truth is an absolute defense!
Although, if he were to sue you, it would be a pain in your butt, despite having a good defense. Feel free to file a countersuit for frivolous claims and harassment.

Jeez, just walk away. It is none of your business anyway. I doubt it would go anywhere in court, but why even take the chance? The two of you are done and you have no connection with the gf why not just walk away.
Or, send a anonymous letter to the gf. No details that would give your identity away but enough to make it obvious it happened.

Leave them alone. You and he did a bad thing. Walk away from it. Telling her is going to make you feel better? And how does that work?
There is nothing to be gained here but more bad Karma and you are already in need of a Karma cleansing. Are you sure you want to tell her that her boyfriend has been with loose women?

So, you want to spread the word that you think this guy is a bad person because he cheated on his girlfriend? Well, that might be, but, if you knew he had a girlfriend, and you slept with him nonetheless, and you think cheating on a girlfriend is a bad thing, then I guess that makes you a hussy. Blabbing about it would certainly be like the pot calling the kettle black.

He can't sue you for slander. He's trying to scare you.
Edit...I mean, I guess he could, but it would be a waste of his cash to even try. LOL

Don't be naive, he can not sue you for slander, and it is not slander.
Tell his gf and let him rot for the lying cheating bastard that he is.
