Dear Jack,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you with a dilemma that has been weighing heavily on my mind. I have a best friend with whom I've shared countless experiences, joys, and challenges over the years. Our friendship has always been based on openness and trust, but recently, I stumbled upon a secret about them that they have kept from me.

The nature of the secret is not harmful, but the fact that they withheld it has left me feeling conflicted. It's not a trivial detail, and it has made me question the level of transparency in our friendship. I find myself torn between the desire to confront them about it and the inclination to respect their privacy.

On one hand, I understand that everyone has aspects of their lives they may not be ready to share. On the other hand, our friendship has thrived on honesty, and this revelation feels like a breach of the trust we've built.

I'm unsure whether I should address the issue directly with my friend or let it go, trusting that they will open up when they're ready. I value our friendship immensely and don't want this discrepancy to strain our relationship. How do I navigate this delicate situation without jeopardizing the bond we've worked so hard to build?

Thank you for your time and advice.

Sincerely,

Conflicted Companion
