Do you tell your friend if her/his boy/girlfriend or husband/wife is cheating?

Do you think it is right to get involved in your relationship, if you know their partner is cheating? Is it better to mind your own business?

No, you should tell them. If youre a true friend. Be willing to risk their anger but they should know.

Unfortuntely, that is not always the best way to go. In the past I have had friends who either have been cheated on, or found out someone who was being cheated on and things did not end well. Some people do not want to hear the truth. Sometimes the couple break up and then get back together and at the end the friend is the one who comes out looking bad.

Depending on how good of friends you are with this person that should be your answer. If it were my bestfriend then yes, but if it were just an on again off again type of friend no. I would want to know if my spouse were cheating on me and would hope that one of my friends would tell me so I don't look like I am being played a fool. I wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of this type of situation unless it were a really good friend.

I have to agree with you. It would have to depend on the friend. Though, in my experience, I have not had such great luck with them. Sometimes people are so blinded with love that they will not see what is right in front of them.

Most definately if you are truly a real friend you would tell them.you wouldnt like that person to not tell you would you?
