| Simple question: You have two married friends. One starts cheating. Do you tell the other? |
|
This popped up last weekend and has me torn. I have two friends who have been married about 10 years and have two young daughters. My wife and I have been friends with them for about four years now. Without getting into the gory details, something happened this weekend that revealed that the wife is not only having a full-on sexual relationship with a guy who isn't her husband, but that it may have been going on for quite a while.
Would you tell the husband? I know him pretty well, and he's not the kind of guy who would be OK with this or look the other way, so I assume that he's in the dark about it.
If you were married and your spouse was cheating, would you want your friends to tell you if they found out?

People don't really know the reality of a marriage unless they're in it |

The valient thing to do is inform your pal. That way you are still the pal. |

I called a friend at work and told her to go home immediately where the cheating was in progress. |

Depends on whether they are both your friends, or just one is your friend. |

Yes. She's exposing him to diseases if nothing else, that isn't fair. |

Once the friend asked your wife to lie, she involved her in the affair. |
