Sticky Situation: Should You Ever Tell a Friend’s Husband She’s Cheating On Him?

What’s worse than getting caught up in your own personal drama? Getting caught up in somebody else’s personal drama.

So, what would you do if a close confidante confided in you that she was cheating on her husband? As her friend, you might feel obliged to keep it a secret. After all, she implicitly asked you not to tell a soul. Eventually, however, you might be overcome by guilt and wonder whether you should tell her spouse about her infidelity.

See what Dr. Gray has to say about this situation on YourTango.com.

    Naw, sit your ace down and stay out of business that is not yours! The last thing you want to do is be the “reason” their relationship expires. Even though intentions are often good you will still look like the bad person and may even be accused of having an attraction for him/her.

  • Pivyque

    If I am friends with him..I would consider it. If I wasn’t then I would just tell her to not tell me about it because I don’t agree with what she’s doing.

  • Nehemiah53

    No it’s non of your business she/he might already know it and have an understanding!

  • FromUR2UB

    Why would I do that? Whatever is going to happen in their marriage will happen. I don’t need to help it along.

  • Ladybug94

    Nope. I’m not part of that marriage. If anything, I would try to guide her towards ending her affair but get in the middle of HER marriage. Ummmm, no.

  • Miss_Understood

    Let sleeping dogs lie (pun intended)…I always encourage my friends to make the right decision, if they choose not to then they just have to deal with the consequences

    If I’m friends with him, or I know him personally. Then I would give her an ultimatum to tell him. If I don’t know him at all, then I would advise her to tell him, but that’s about it.

  • sweettea

    Nope stfu she’s your friend not him.

  • Mrsadkiah

    My way of dealing with this has always been to never lie. I’m not going to tell anyone anything b/c it’s not my business (unless I think someone could get seriously hurt like the other person has an STD or something along those lines) but I’m not going to lie to anyone either. I just don’t comment and when asked any questions say “ask them this isn’t my business to tell/discuss”

  • Kells

    Nope… Mind our own damn business…
