My best friend's husband is cheating on her..I just found out on Saturday that he is cheating, I was told my a different friend of our's. Do I tell me friend, or do I keep my mouth shut, just in case it is not true?

I would tell her if I was you because that would make you more of a friend to her I believe.

I think that I would wait until I can verify the situation and not make a fool out of myself in case it is not true.

Well, it might just be a rumor so I wouldn't want to hurt her for no reason. I'd talk to him and tell him you heard it. If he says he didn't then I'd dig deeper with some resources and find out the truth. Then I would give him the option of telling her (if it was true) the truth. Either you do it or I do it. It's a very difficult situation to be in. I wish you luck!!!

She is your best friend right? Best friends look out for each other. I would tell her.

I would only tell her if I was the one to have seen him do it! You never know but sometimes people just want to start things between couples. (believe me...even though you may not think so it's 100% possible!) Well like I said I would only tell her if I was 100% sure. The person that saw him with another woman may have made a mistake. What if it wasn't even him!? I wouldn't want to break up a marriage or lose a friend because of a mistake or lie! Just be sure If you do tell her. And if you can have proof. Your not a true friend if you let it keep happening! Sooner or later she will find out. and if you were my friend and you didn't tell me I would be more upset and mad if you didnt tell me! anyway good luck with your decision!

my opinion is that keep your mouth shut first and wait.you have to be sure what will be happened after you tell her, is it good for her? or is it result you wish ,sometimes we need whrit lie and if you are best friend you should not care lie for her.do you agree with me?

I don't know if I agree with you because I am not sure what it is you are trying to say. I do not wish her any harm. I am happy for her if she is happy. I love all my friend's, including her husband. As of right now, I do not know for a fact, that he is cheating. Thank you for your reply

If you are not 100% sure, I would not say anything at this point. It may be a rumor. If you are sure, and find out yourself, if you really are close with your friend, then you might want to tell her. But, women are strange creatures. It can still backfire on you. So, you will have to decide in the end. Good luck.

Find out all the evidences you can and then let your friend know about it.

Wow, thats a tough one. Its hard to say but if your not sure it is true maybe you should wait. This happened to me once and I ended up being the bad guy. My friend didn't believe me and she didn't speak to me much after that

I should have wrote that I was not sure if he is cheating, I don't know how to edit after I post. I would never imagine that he would cheat, he seems so happy and content. I don't want to be the "bad" one and saying something that is not true. Thanks for your advice. :(

I think that when someone is cheating and a other person get's involve, the person who tells them the gossip usually get's the bad rep.

I know...I am sure if the situation was reversed she would wait until she was positive.. Thanks for your reply

Whether or not he is cheating, you say anything or not you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Perhaps asking her if things are ok between them might give you some indication of what course of action you should take.

I really believe I am in that situation "damned if I do, damned if I don't" I talk to her and she said that, all of a sudden he told her, she need's to find a job. And she thought that was wierd.
