just wondering, it seems like the right thing to do, but then you wouldn't want to lose the friendship.

I don't think I could tell her (at least, not immediately) as I would hate to see my friend being hurt. I would have very strong words to say to her husband and I would threaten him with telling his wife if he didn't stop. If he continued to cheat, then I would tell her as she would be bound to find out for herself eventually.

i think you should tell her, maybe you should have proof first in case she didnt believe you. But i dont think the husband should get any special treatment. he dosent need to be prepared. he should be bombarded by his wife and not have any idea that she knew. he dosent deserve to be prepared. be a good friend and tell her, she deserves to know the truth.

definitelt i would if i have really proven the matter & want my friend to be given the right to know what's happening behind her. i would try to help them out of such problems or if matters come to worst i'm also here to give comfort & support to my friend.

I most definately would, what kind of friend would I be otherwise if I didnt? I dont think I would be very comfortable with myself if I knew this happened and didn't tell my best friend. I think that true friendship is being truthful to each other....if I cant be honest with my best friend, then what would happen if the tables were reversed. I sure hope she would tell me...and I would respect her for speaking up. I wouldn't want to lose the friendship, but if the friendship was strong then I dont think it would do anything but make it stronger, she would trust me more, and respect me for stepping out and speaking up! I would make sure that I had some real concrete proof, before starting a rucus though....but even without proof, if something made me think he was cheating, then I would give her the "heads up"!

Well- I'd first be sure that was true and then Heck yes I would-- Of course in the nicest way I could.. I would want the same-- Yes it will hurt at first- but maybe they can work it out... or not. Think about the pain your friend will go through if it keeps going on.. Plus the risk of std's and such. I would tell her and help her in any way..

You are not responsible for breaking up the marriage, he is! I wouls be very upsetif my best friend kept something like that from me. i believe your only helping her look like a fool. if you can't prove it this minute, find a way. you say the woman comes over after she leaves for work, make up an excuse to get your friend to go back to her house. simple. and be in the car outside w/ tissues and a cartoon of icecream. you are not the bad person here. you jst know some uncomfortable information.
