I think I would tell her she would deserve to know,If it was me and I was in her spot I would want to know about it

Well I've actually been in that situation. I confronted the husband and gave him one week to tell his wife. He didn't have the guts to do it (and I suspect thought I wouldn't either) so I told her. It was very hard and caused a lot of trouble but if I was in her shoes I would have wanted to be told.

If you are a good friend you will try to find a solution as soon as possible... my opinion is that someone who cheats shouldn`t be in your friends lives... so do tell them please before they find out but don`t forget to give them prove cause they will probably want to hurt the messanger...

I would not come straight out and tell my best friend if her husband was cheating. People tend to kill the messenger. I would make sure she found out though. Bring different things to view for her, maybe, by chance happen to be where the cheater is. After the cheater is caught, just be there for her and give her moral support.

I would confront the cheater first and encourage them to be honest with their spouse and tell them the truth or if they didn't I would tell them.

id be all on him like a rash,,give him the option of telling himself and keeping out of it,,if you have actually seen something and not misunderstood what you saw,,let him know if he doesnt tell himself,,you will,but be sure,to break a friends heart,if that would be the case is tougher than it seems but a friend must do for a friend,,that is the law of friendship.

Acually I did. I saw a friend's husband to cheat on hre with her...sister! Yes! It's true! At first I thought it would be best that I say nothing. Then I saw that he was doing it over and over again. I confronted them. I told them that I would go to my friend and tell everything. They didn't care. I thought that she had 1 little angel and said nothing for a while. But when the husband started neglecting his daughter's and wive's needs I went to her and told her the truth. They were separaqted (under the same roof) for a while, she forgave him, they had another child and then got divorced because he decided to be with her sister after all.

Of course yes

You can't let them continue to make a fool of your friend. If it were to continue and she found out she'd be devastated and when she turned to you for help you'd have guilt of not telling her first.

Oh, I'm soooo telling!!! She is my BF and I would not want to hurt her by exploiting his unfaithfulness, but she would be more hurt to know I DIDN'T tell her. Besides, he doesn't deserve her and I wouldn't be waiting for 'the other shoe to drop'((like contracting life-threatening diseases)). What kind of best friend doesn't tell?

Yes you tell. I know that when this happens many times the friend might not believe you. But when they DO find out and they find out you also knew then they will be the ones mad at you! I would tell them even if they got mad at me or didn't believe me! That's part of being a friend telling them the truth! I had told my bf that I thought her bf was cheating w/one of our friends she didn't believe me until she saw it with her own eyes. SO I mean i think she respects me more now for telling her that from keeping it from her!
