A friend has recently told me that she is cheating with her best friends husband. I have told her that she either needs to stop seeing him or let her best friend know. She seems to think it's fine the way it is. I don't know her best friend, so I can't say anything to her. I really feel sorry for her. Any advice on what I should say to my friend?

I am not sure if I can stay out of it because there is another person involved and I feel really sorry for her. Even though I don't know her, I can just imagine how bad she will feel if it goes on for too long. Thanks!

I would not agree with you on that. I think this person who has started the discussion has something at stake too. Her friend. That's why she can't stay away from it. I would suggest trying to talk the cheating friend into confessing & cleaning up with all parties. Things should settle down by themselves then. Not doing anything about it is only like watching a volcano that seems dormant. It's gonna erupt sooner or later.

That is what worries me, the longer it goes on the worse it is going to be in the end. The way I see it, the husband hasn't told his wife because he doesn't want his marriage to end and it is my friend that will end up out in the cold in the end. Thanks!

I think you have given her good advice, if she is not going to listen to you at least you know that you have told her to do the right thing. What she needs to realise is that she is probably going to be the one who gets hurt in the end.

I think she is the one that is going to be hurt in the end, but I was hoping she would realise that. I guess I have told her what I think she should do, maybe it is better if I leave it now. Thanks!

Well theres not much you can say she seems from what you say pretty happy with the way things are no matter how bad you think it is and really the truth of the matter is they are both adults and know right from wrong so really its not your place to say anything. Your a friend your suppose to be there for her, you tried to keep her from getting hurt but she doesnt want to listen so all you can do is sit back and be a true friend and help her pick up the pieces of her life when they all come crashing down on her when they get discovered cheating with each other. I know it sucks but you have to watch out for yourself not for what others are doing no matter how painfully it might seem.

Yes your probably right, I am pretty sure my friend is the one who is going to be hurt in the end. I guess if she is not going to listen to me, then there is not much I can do about it. To me it seems like this man has the best part in it all. Thanks!

Maybe have a word to the husband yourself and tell him that you know his dirty lil secret. Tell him to come clean or you will do it for him.

I might have to give this a try, but I am worried about losing my friend as well. I will definetely consider this. Thanks!

I don't think she would do this to me, she has met my husband and they don't get along that well. He is not her type. Thanks!
