My best friend is cheating on her husband, what do I do?

Want to lose a friend? If so tell him. Most likely you will lose 2 friends if you tell.

All you women are annoyingā€¦ ā€œItā€™s none of your businessā€ but if it was your man cheating on you and your friend knew you would expect them to tell youā€¦ ā€œDonā€™t put yourself in the middle of their marriageā€ yet thatā€™s exactly what her friend did when she told her about her affairā€¦ Yall just donā€™t know how to be good friends because a true friend does not support your bad habits, they hold you accountable. What is wrong with all you no moral having girls?? This women supporting women thing is honestly kind of disgusting especially in situations like thisā€¦ Because I know good and well that if this situation was about a man telling his guy friend about an affair, yā€™all would be saying heā€™s a POSā€¦ And so is this womanā€™s friend

Unfortunately your friend is an a$$hole. I had a friend like this once. She tried to use me as a pawn. Told her husband she was out with me until 4am. I told him the truth. A friend would never put you in a position like this.

Id Tell her how you feel honestly yet nicely. And say that you donā€™t agree with what sheā€™s doing, so if it continues then you no longer want to hear about it.

Sheā€™s putting you in the middle and thatā€™s very unfair to you

I feel like itā€™s your duty to tell the other party if you know someone is cheating. I would feel like a bad person if I didnā€™t. Everyone saying to ā€œmind your businessā€ needs to understand that it is now your business because you know. In my opinion, you have a duty. You can get a better friend anyway.

Iā€™m not about to snitch on my friend regardless of whatever Iā€™m her friend not his :woman_shrugging:t3: but Iā€™d tell her she needs to stop the affair & leave her husband. The situation could get very bad & quickly. Nobody reacts the same when theyā€™ve been cheated on so she needs to chill. Not to mention if thereā€™s no prenup, bye bye go her money. Also she made it your business when she told you so you do have a right to say something to her. Just be like hello b youā€™re putting yourself at risk.

Quit hanging around your friend if you donā€™t agree with what she is doing. Once you drop her, the husband will wonder why. Let him do the questioning. If she does this thru her marriage & relationshipā€¦ makes me wonder about your guys friendship. Is she really a faithful friend to you? If it was me, I would want to know if someone was cheating on me. Iā€™ve been in this situation of not telling & felt like crap for not, because I could have saved that person so much heartache. How much does your friendship with her mean to you? If you not longer want to be her friend, then tell. But the moment you tell she will not likely be your friend anymore. So many questions for you.

Asking for myself.

Yā€™all sound foolish. If it were me, Iā€™m cutting her off if she doesnā€™t come clean. Say what you want. Blatant cheaters lack morals and I donā€™t claim them as spouses or friends. :woman_shrugging:t4:

Just stop hanging out with her. This shits going south with or with out your help. Stay out if it

Iā€™ve been through this with my best friend. She told her husband eventually after we had talked and she didnā€™t want to hurt him and left him for the guy and then spent the next 5 years crying to me over the loser she picked over her husband and then ended it with him to get with a narcissist and manipulator and cry over that to now sheā€™s single again. Weā€™ll see what the next saga is.

Figure out a way to talk with just him. Make up a fictional married couple friend and ask him for advice with this fictional married friend thatā€™s cheating. Tell the story and ask him what he thinks you should do. If he suggests you tell the fictional friends husband heā€™s being cheated on then come clean and tell him itā€™s his wife thatā€™s cheating. If he says to let it be, then donā€™t do anything. Some men prefer not knowing others want to know. Let him decide without knowing heā€™s deciding.

If you want to be her friend ā€¦ tell her you donā€™t want to hear details and keep you out of it. If you think you canā€™t stay out of it. Walk away and get a new friend. Thatā€™s the only decision you need to make. It really has nothing to do with you and getting involved can only hurt you and others.

Stay out of it. You told her your concerns now there is nothing you can really do except maybe strongly encourage her to get counseling for herself and/or with her husband and end the cheating. You said there are no plans to divorce her husband and ā€œno plans to move forward with this guyā€. Sheā€™s an adult even if she is making poor choices. Looks like everybody is going to get hurt in this scenario, unfortunately.

You need a new friend whose morals match your own. She is not marriage material and I know several cases where a spouse adapts to what their manipulate spouse wants only to be called boring later and is an excuse for them to cheat. She sounds like a narcissist to me. Itā€™s good you are single because she would be the type to want what you have. Dump her as a friend. If she tries to smear your name youā€™ll know if she has a personality disorder and definitely tell her husband so he can prepare himself for what is ahead before she sucks the life out of him even more and that is probably why he is low energy.

Not your business to share. If you are uncomfortable with the situation, then start to put space between your friendship.

Do you envy the perfect man one who is content?
If she plays with fire the truth will come out, and not by you.
If she is bored and wants excitement advise her to take up hobbies not a man!
In a relationship 2 must work together maybe counseling?
Maybe she loves her husband in a caring way, but not in LOVE with him, really not your call.

I wouldnā€™t get involved with that at all, except to silently Pray for their ā€œSuccessful Resolution of Their Livesā€.

Stay out of it. Examine your own personal boundaries and decide whether being friends with this person is a positive thing and aligns with your personal values.

Yall saying not to be her friend lol whatā€™s that got to do with it?! I would stay out of it though. You donā€™t want to be the pot stirrer in case it flips back on you. Good luck.

If would be very difficult for me to remain a close friend to someone that made this type of choice. I would simply tell her that you canā€™t support her choice or be a party to her cheating (keeping her secrets makes you an accomplice) and I would distance myself until she changed her ways.

Mind your business. Sheā€™s your ā€œbest friendā€ and you can tell her your displeasure with the cheating but not come in between her marriage.

You need to tell her what she is doing is called adultrey and Gods not pleased with her and she needs help.

From my past experiences with trying to help friends .your better off just staying away and stay out of it.its there marriage on the line ,I know your trying to help .but it might not be good for you to get stuck in the middle when he fines out. You donā€™t want to be accused of breaking there marriage apart. Sheā€™s not making good choices but I would just walk away.its sad your a good friend. But donā€™t get caught up in it.
