Is it correct to tell a friend's husband that the wife is cheating?

Answer 1

It is the right thing to do...However, it may cause problems for other people not just the 3 in question I.e. kids. You are probably in a better position to judge the fallout. It can be devastating news...I can testify...my mother went through the finding out part. Also it is not uncommon that the person being cheated on refuses to believe what you tell them. Again your judgment here will be the most accurate. This might put a stress on your relationship with them.

You could confront the wife and ask her to tell her husband, and do the decent thing.

In the end a lot needs to be considered. Make sure you weigh up the possibilities. Affairs of the heart can be really nasty.

Answer 2

Well this depends. Are you friends with the wife or the husband. If you are friends with the wife, absolutely not - as you are here friend. The best situation here would be to find out why she is cheating. Perhaps it is justified, she could be trapped in the marriage and needs to fulfill some physical needs. Another option is to push her to get a divorce.

If you are her friend - do not go to her husband with your knowledge.

Answer 3

Well would you want to know? I had to deal with this situation once. I called my friend's mom that I knew her husband was cheating. Then the mom told her daughter and said she saw the husband out with the woman. That way I didn't get put in the middle of a he said she said situation.

Answer 4

I once caught my brother-in-laws wife sitting on another dudes lap and they were kissing. I told him what I had witnessed and she lied her way out. He kind of resented me for telling, however, later he caught her himself. I have told and it causes some friction for a while. Make the decision for yourself and for your own conscience. Tell the friend that she needs to end her relationship with the dude and stop being a cheat or end her marriage. Good luck !

Answer 5

Nope. you need to tell your friend that you will not cover for her in any way. If the subject of cheating comes up in converstation that you will not shy away from saying (to who ever) that you are cheating on her husband. You will lie to ANYone about this. If he happens to be around when she is saying somethning to someone and overhears this then that will be her problem.

If she doesn't want her husband to find out about this from someone else then she needs to tell his husband.

Answer 6

Talk to the wife and tell her how you feel about what she's doing. Tell her how you feel about the both of them and you don't want her to make a mistake that she's going to regret. If she feels the need to cheat then let him go.

Answer 7

I think so, yes.

1) Think about his position. You know she's cheating on him so others probably know too. Would you like to be the faithful spouse that everyone whispers about?

2) If you care about the couple, he needs to know soon. The longer it goes on, the harder it will be to fix it, if that's what they decide to do.

Just my thoughts. If I were in his shoes, I'd be grateful to you forever if you told me. (And, I have been in his shoes.) He might be a bit angry at the messenger, e.g. you, but in time, he'll realize it was for the best.

Good Luck to you!

Answer 8

if you are willing to lose the friendship. but if you think about it, do you want to be friends with someone who has the morals of an alley cat? tell the poor soul who is being made a fool of.

Answer 9

I would want to be told, but it's always best to confront the friend first and maybe through your confrontation you can convince her that she should come clean herself. It's a tough place to be put in, but the best thing to do it always put yourself in their position and follow your gut.

Answer 10

Step back ....you know people are judged by who they keep company with and it may be seen that you are like her ..........it is up to her to tell
