Hi, welcome to myLot. Well it entirely depends on your reltionship with your friends. Especially on things like this, they would not trust you and you dont even have proof of anything. What are you going to say to to her husband"that our wife is sleeping with someone else" and when he will ask how you came to know about it you will tell him that his wife informed you!! Dont fall into it,i know that they both are your friends and you dont want anyone to be hurt and perhaps you would want to keep your fienship alive too. It is in our nature to protect our friends, but they are not kids either they can think for themselves. And you dont want to be a part of of somethig that would break their seemingly happy family. Accoding to me "let sleeping dogs lie"

That's kind of hard to say. But i know exactly how you feel because i was in the same situation. My bestfriend was having an affair with this guy. Me and her boyfriend were close and thats why it kind of hurt me .The way i look at it is everyone is grown and what they do with their life is their business so it isnt your place to say anything it is up to he cheater to be a bigger person and say something. But now if it were my brother or mother getting cheated on then i would definitely say something. It seems like alot of times alot of the things we do come from some unknown rule book, you know.?lol. But if you want to help the person that is a cheater be a better person and kind of convince them that what they are doing is wrong and maybe they will feel bad and confess i dont see anything wrong with that.Good Luck

It's really hard to think that you can not do something to help a friend because of another friend. One is pray that an illegal affair would stop quickly and the third party would find someone right.

I am so sad to know that there are so many betrayers nowadays. I advise you be out of this problem or secretly tell the other partner that the spouse is cheating. I am so shocked, nowadays people have their partners but still they cheat, they sleep with others...why so? There are too many betrayals nowadays..maybe it's human nature itself which has become like this...it's unbelievable but we have to accept this fact..!

I think you should keep quiet till the friends spouse asks you about it. But even then I think you should hint unless the spouse specifically asks you what he/she is doing all the time when they are not with you. If you are really sick to the stomach about it you can hint the spouse to keep him/her at home to do something together on his/her free times like family time or have the spouse keep a close eye on him/her. So that he/she doesnt have enough time for the affair anymore.

forget your husband and tell your friend as that is what' friends are for is to take care of each other. you would wantto be told and so will she, so tell her gently but tell her so she wont be hurt later by this sneaky husband of hers.
