It depends on the bearing capacity/maturity of that friend. If he/she can bear the news and handle maturedly without putting you into trouble with that cheating-spouse, then go ahead. Secondly, how will that revelation help the relationship, if it will make them break-up please, please for God's sake, don't do else you'll always for remembered as the person responsible for their break-up! Thanks.

My feeling is that you should keep that secret to yourself. Your friend will find out soon enough and then decide what's right for them. For all you know your friend may already know this. By interfering, you may be putting your own relationship at risk.

That is a really hard question!! Deep down I would want to know if my husband was cheating, but that would make so many problems...uuuggghhhh!!! Sometimes I think I would rather go on not knowing and just be oblivious of it..the easy way out I guess. If you know someone is cheating and are not sure if you should tell I would hint around to the person and see who they react, bring up cheating in general and see what they say.

i definitely would. and i would appreciate it if they tell me directly and not go after my partner. i really want to take care of it myself. them telling me my partner is cheating is enough. i'll handle the rest. c',)

This is a hard decision. But if your close to your friend then yes. It could go either way ..she could think your lying or she could thank you. In my book if it was me i would want to know...and before i accused i would look into it then make my move to bring the jerk down. Now if its just an acquaitance i would probally just let it be and mind my own business because a cheater will always get caught sooner or later. Best of luck to you in that decision.

That will be better than to hide it from you. Hidding things will not make your relationship better with your friend and partner. You may blame your friend from not telling the truth sooner if you found out that he/she knows that your partner is cheating on you.
A true friend always care for the life of his friend. That means he/she will do anything for the better of his/her friend.
