it's hard to say exactly when Jessica should have said something. If she says it before he met Rico, he may always look at Rico sideways, if he's that type...or he just may not trust his intentions. If he meets him, and she tells him a few days/weeks later, he still might feel weird to him.

He did tell me that he wouldn't have been as mad if she had told him at any point first, but he hated that someone else had to break it to him. I'm not even sure how he found out, but it didn't sound like someone was blatantly snitching or "looking out," more so they didn't realize what his situation was.
