nope, lying for her is not the answer to her problems
You are right, and being the best friend you can be. You are trying to help her do the right thing, even if it costs you the friendship.
I wouldn't lie for her. Period. You don't want to be dragged down into the mess like that.
Good luck.
No. You are not wrong. You gave her real advice to keep her life on a more even keel and she is seeking out drama. You are probably better off without her in your life.
I've been there and done that with a friend. She accused me of "judging" her and I agreed that I was because she was putting me in the position to sacrifice my own values to lie for her and I found it offensive that she thought so little of me. I didn't gossip about, I kept her secret (it wasn't mine to tell) and left our group of friends. It made me very sad and I missed some of them very much, but I don't regret telling her no.
I have never understood the rationale for cheating. If you want to be with someone, be with them. If you don't want to be with someone don't be with them. Don't continue to lie and pretend. That doesn't help anyone and it's horribly unfair.
