keep it secretive?, friend problems Options

[littlewhite]

Alan, Betty, and Claire are all my friends, and they really really trust me.
Alan and Betty are couples. (They keep their relationship secretive, though Claire knows about it.)
Alan and Claire are ex-couples. (This relationship is not secretive.)
Betty and Claire are good friends.
Claire still likes Alan.
Alan told me all about he meets Claire behind Betty's back. (edit: Alan refuses to tell me what they did behind Betty's back, Betty found out that Alan and Claire had a hangout without her before, but doesn't know that they hang out at a regular basis.)

My opinion: I am so sure that Betty will find out eventually, but I just don't want her to know that I have known this for a long time without telling her, meaning I am lying to her. Also, there is a rumor spreading in half of the school that I am with Alan, which most of the people I know are from the other half of the school, but Alan belongs to the half where the rumor is spreading. I didn't tell Betty about the rumor too.

Question: Should I tell Betty about what Alan and Claire did behind her back? Or just keep it secretive?

Another edit: Since A, B, and C seemed like confusing to the advicers, I changed them to fake names. So Alan now represents A, Betty represents B, and Claire represents C.

you should tell A to pick either B or C. he cant keep double timing them both for very long. he'd get caught up in a lie somewhere. As for what to tell B and C, i think you should let A take care of that.
