Just found out that some friends of mine told some people some things that we said about them. What do I do?

Had some bad experiences with couple # 2. Couple # 1 was really great and I wanted to warn them about couple # 2. For some reason Couple # 1, who didn't even know couple # 2, told Couple # 2 some bad things we said, in confidence. Couple # 1 doesn't know that I know, so how do I deal with that. We don't talk to Couple # 2 anymore, does it even matter?

Update:

Part of the courtesy of our group of friends is to warn each other if we are having problems with others. If I have issues with someone I want my friends to know so they won't have the same issues with them.

Update 2:

I appreciate all the great answers so far. All of you deserve best answer! :)

    I suggest that you not worry too much about what you said. Since you told the truth that is what is important.

    Years ago I warned a girl about a guy, who had a girlfriend and was messing around with several girls. He finally broke up with his girlfriend. Married her, they now have 3 children together and are very happy.

    If couple #2 was doing something that you felt the need to warn others about them I wouldn't consider it to much of a loss. Unless you told Couple #1 not to tell couple #2 what you said I dont think they did anything wrong b checking things out. Just be more careful with what you say to people so that you dont loose all of your friends. And you might consider just a simple warning saying something like be careful making friends with _________. I tried and things went wrong.

    What about couple #1? Do you still hang out with them? If so I would be really careful about future conversations and where they will end up. As far as couple #2, if you no longer talk to them just let it go. If you wanted to continue being friendly with #2, then just apologize. Admit what you said was wrong and see if they can get past it. Some peope will laugh it off and move on, and others might hold a grudge.

    The key here is if you associate with 2 anymore after that incident.

    If you wish to be on good terms with 2, then kindly apologize to them and seek reconciliation, hopefully they will forgive you.

    If you don't have to be around 2, then forget it and maybe learn a thing or two from it, such as making a better judgment of who to confide in, or being careful of what you say about others.

    You need to get all three couples together possibly with a mediator. Talk about what was said and why. See if your differences can be resolved. Also, I would talk to the couple who betrayed your confidence and ask them why. Hopefully this can be resolved. I feel bad for you. Had a similar thing happen to me only it was a counselor who broke ethics rules and told what I shared in confidence and has caused harm to my family.

    Couple # 1 already knew about Couple #2 by your warning them....The damage is already done....and I would be careful about telling couple #1 anything anymore......

    Gossip kills: Friendships. Whatever you say to someone, what you said can and will make its way back to the person you were gossiping about. Happens every time. So be more careful in future and never say anything to anyone you don't want broadcasted to all the people you know.

    Sometimes you need to let people find things out for themselves. Its sad today that there's not much loyalty and you can say things to people in confidence and it not come back to bite you. I say unless its something that could harm them in some way...say nothing.

    Why don't you just stop talking about people to other people? Simple as that, lol.
