This couple is my family friend since we are young. they are also my godparents of child. One time I saw the girl walking in mall hands to hands with other guy and you really can tell that there are something Until I saw them kissing. My heart beats faster than normal. I just hide myself and I do not know what to do. One day we met in one of cafeteria near our work, she is alone and I asked her as her friend, I am concern about their family of course.She admit that she having an affair in that guy I saw in the mall. And she looks very happy, she also said that she is not happy with his husband and very not contented. I convinced her many times to stop that craziness and try to talk to her husband first about the status of their relationship. but she didn't listen, she did not clear to his husband and still hiding his guy.I'm still waiting the girl to tell her husband personally, but until now she didn't. I'm afraid to tell his husband which is also my friend about this. I do not know how will I tell him. I know He need to know I want to save them but I do not know how. mylotters pls help me to find the right decision. thank you!

I would try to break it to him anonymously with an unsigned written message. You could slip it under his door or office, or somewhere he would be sureto receive it. Once he reads it, it's his decision what he wants to believe, but at least he knows that there is a possibility that his wife is cheating. At least he would question his relationship and figure things out on his own.

If I were you, I won't want to get involve, but since you want to help out your friend, why not tell him straightforward, and let him to ask his wife about this affair. Maybe it is none of your business, but at least you will do good faith on your friend, and not letting him to be a fool.

I think you did right in speaking your mind to the wife and trying to convince her to be honest with her husband. She obviously did not take your advice. I would back off and let them deal with their marital problems themselves and as a friend just be there when it all crashes down because it will.

I know your intention is good,but not all good intention will result with good outcome. The husband might not believed in you and might even accused you of ruining their life. Just wait for the right time...truth will always come. Just pray that your friend (the wife) will changed her mind and be faithful to her husband. It's really hard to know that you can't do anything for this time... In this situation...no one can help your friend,but herself...just keep talking to her she might realized her mistakes. have a great day

Of course I do! they my friends ever since. I'm just afraid of what will happen if I will keep it as a secret and sooner knew it by his husband which is also my friend. He may get more angry at me because it looks like I tolerated her wife for I didn't tell him. You are right too just keep talking until she realized what is she doing.

No you should not tell the husband at all, you will be spoiling the family peace, if the husbant is upset too much he may even kill the wife, because the wife is your 'best friend'; you tell HER to stop this nasty thing, i am sure she will hear you, you may tell her parents too if you feel proper lol.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

Why do you think of telling him about that affair? And that too she's your best friend, so don't think of harming her is that aspect, she may doing a wrong thing, but you may not know the reason why is she doing all that and moreover she's well-matured to take a decision, so don't do such thing.

We know that this matter is so delicate because the fact that it can affect too much with the couples relationship as well as their family. If you tell to him what you know about his wife would he believe in you? Or would his wife still be your friend after. This is really difficult to decide if we could do the right way for them. But the fact is we need to stand for the truth and right way of living. You know doing right is hard to do but we must insist. All I can say is try to talk first to his wife ask her why and what happened. Then try to tell her that she is not doing good because she is already married. But the question is did she listen to you. All i know is if someone is inlove no one could take the love away from them unless they want. If you want to let her husband to know about his wife well talk to him first and seriously that he will understand you well. I think he will but hoping that he will accept it patiently. If he really love his wife maybe he will forgive her and understand her. Let's hope for it. I feel that there is something wrong with them. And that is we don"t know. Let's pray for that for them to understand. And let them be happy again.. I am sad for her why she is not contented to her husband i know that there must be a reason to her but still it doesn't good. Let's pray for them..

In situations like this, I would just let things take its course. The husband could be mad at you, don't believe you, or don't want to believe you. On the other hand it could just be the complete opposite. While the wife could get upset with you, because she wanted to tell her husband about the affair when she thought was best. Anyway I've seen this happen to many time, I would just mind my own business If I was in this situation. Do what you think fits best, just my opinion.

Maybe the least thing you can do is to set a time for the husband wherein you know the girl and her affair will have to meet. In this case, the husband will see for himself what is really happening. Or maybe get some pictures or evidences that will prove his wife's cheating on him. Good luck thereza..

You don't have to tell her husband about his wife having an affair, you are just helping them to broke up, Why not help by telling the husband to make surprises for her wife or courting her again or do something special for his wife or anything that would nurture their relationship or bring back his wife's love back, but don't tell him about his wife cheating on him, let him discover it for himself or make her wife tell it to him.
